USING BROTHER MACHINE AS A PRINTER
Printing From Your PC
Multi-purpose Paper Cassette
The machine’s multi-purpose paper cassette can be adjusted to feed many
sizes of paper: letter, legal, A4, B5 and A5 plain paper. When the machine
receives print data from your computer, it loads paper from the paper
cassette.
Select the print command from your PC.
Your PC sends a print command and data to the machine. The machine
displays the date and time and RECEIVING DATA. If there are more
pages, the machine begins to print the next page automatically. When
printing is finished, it returns to online status.
You may select the proper paper source, paper size, and page orientation
in your application software.
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 right and left margins in your application software. (See Acceptable
Paper, page 2-5.)
Use the manual feed slot for labels, transparencies, card stock, thicker
paper or envelopes.
Two-Sided Printing (Manual Duplexing)
The supplied printer drivers for Windows
®
3.1x, 95/98 and Windows NT
®
Workstation Version 4.0 enable manual duplex printing. (For more
information, see the Help screen for the printer driver.)
The machine 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.
Caution
When you use manual duplexing, it is possible that a paper jam may occur
or the print quality might not be satisfactory. (See Paper is Jammed in the
Multi-purpose Paper Cassette, page 17-6.)
