your printer. You can easily install them into your Windows system using our
installer program.
❏ Color Matching
The Brother original color matching system which is included in the printer
driver enables color matching between the monitor and printer and it offers
control of various color effects. It helps you to get fine color outputs. This
printer also supports the Windows 95/98 Image Color Matching (ICM)
system.
❏ Environment-Friendly
This printer has two power saving modes. Printers consume power to keep
some parts of the printer at operating (high) temperature, but this feature will
save electricity when the printer is ON but not being used. The factory setting
of Power Save mode 1 and mode 2 are both OFF, however, for reduced power
consumption, you can turn Power Save Mode 1 and 2 to ON. The default
time-out of each mode is one hour. This meets Energy Star power save
requirements.
