USING THE BROTHER MFC AS A PRINTER
Printing from Your PC
Multi-purpose Sheet Feeder
The MFC’s multi-purpose sheet feeder can feed plain paper, envelopes, and
organizer paper. When the MFC receives data from your computer, it begins the
print process by loading paper from the multi-purpose sheet feeder.
■ Select the print command from your PC.
Your PC sends a print command and data to the MFC. If there are more pages,
the MFC begins to print the next page automatically.
If your application software does not support your custom paper size, select the next
larger paper size. Then adjust the print area by changing the left and right margins in
your application software. (See
Acceptable Paper
, page 2-7)
Use the Manual Feed Slot for labels or transpariencies for overhead projecters.
Two-Sided Printing (Manual Duplex)
The supplied printer drivers for Windows
®
3.1x, 95/98/98SE, Windows NT
®
Workstation Version 4.0 support manual duplex printing. (For more
information, see the Help screen for the printer driver.)
Please select LPT1 port in the printer driver. The MFC prints all the
even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, the Windows
®
driver
instructs you (with a pop-up message) to reinsert the paper. Before reinserting
the paper, straighten it well or you may get a paper jam. Very thin or very thick
paper is not recommended. If the paper “double-feeds” (sends two sheets at
once), hold the stack of paper except for the front sheet while the paper is
feeding.
When you use manual duplexing, it is possible that a paper jam may occur or the
printer quality might not be satisfactory.
You may select the paper source, paper size, and orientation in your application
software.
