When the machine receives data from your computer, it begins printing by picking up paper from the paper
tray. The paper tray can feed many types of paper and envelopes. (See the User’s Guide for information
about the Paper Tray and Recommended paper.)
a From your application, choose the Print command.
If any other printer drivers are installed on your computer, choose Brother MFC-XXXX or DCP-XXXX
Printer* as your printer driver from the Print or Print Settings menu in your software application, and then
click OK to begin printing.
*(Where XXXX is your model name. If you are using a LAN cable or a parallel cable to connect your
machine then LAN or LPT will be in the printer driver name.)
Note
b Your computer sends the data to the machine.
c When the machine finishes printing all the data, the LCD shows the machine status.

Duplex printing
1
1
The supplied printer driver supports duplex printing.
Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper
1
„ If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
„ If paper is curled, turn over the stack, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray or the Manual Feed
Slot.
„ If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper, straighten it and turn over the
stack.
„ When you use the manual duplex function, it is possible that there may be paper jams or poor print quality.
If there is a paper jam, see Paper jams in the User’s Guide. If you have a print quality problem, see
Improving the print quality in the User’s Guide.
Automatic duplex printing
1
„ Use A4, Letter, Legal or Folio size paper when you use the automatic duplex printing function.
„ Make sure that the back cover is closed.
„ Make sure that the duplex tray is installed correctly in the printer.
„ If paper is curled, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray.
„ Use regular paper or thin paper. DO NOT use bond paper.
Manual duplex printing
1
®
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 thick paper is not recommended.
Simultaneous scanning, printing and faxing
1
Your machine can print from your computer while sending or receiving a fax in memory, or while scanning a
document into the computer. Fax sending will not be stopped during PC printing. However, when the machine
is copying or receiving a fax on paper, it pauses the PC printing operation, and then continues printing when
copying or fax receiving has finished.

„ Gray (Error Diffusion)
Use for photographic images or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method for creating simulated gray images
without using true gray dots. Black dots are put in a specific pattern to give the appearance of gray.)
„ True Gray
Use for photographic images or graphics. This mode is more exact because it uses up to 256 shades of
gray.
„ 256 Color
Uses up to 256 colors to scan the image.
„ 24 bit Color
Uses up to 16.8 million colors to scan the image.
Although using 24 bit Color creates an image with the most accurate color, the image file will be about
three times larger than a file created with 256 Color. It requires the most memory and has the longest

Using ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 11SE with OCR by NUANCE™
2
Note
®
ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 11SE supports Windows 2000 (SP4 or greater), XP (SP2 or greater), XP
2
®
Professional x64 Edition and Windows Vista only.
ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 11SE for Brother is a document management application. You can use PaperPort™
11SE to view scanned documents.
PaperPort™ 11SE has a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use filing system that will help you organize your graphics
and text documents. It allows you to mix or ‘stack’ documents of different formats for printing, faxing or filing.
This chapter only introduces the basic functions of the software. For more details, see the ScanSoft™
Getting Started Guide. To view the complete ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 11SE Getting Started Guide,
choose Help from PaperPort™ 11SE menu bar and click Getting Started Guide. When you install MFL-Pro
Suite, ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 11SE for Brother is installed automatically. You can access ScanSoft™
PaperPort™ 11SE through the ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ SE program group located in
Start/All Programs/ScanSoft PaperPort 11 on your PC.

Viewing items
2
ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 11SE gives several ways to view items:
Desktop View displays the item in the chosen folder with a thumbnail (a small graphic that shows each item
in a desktop or folder) or an icon.
2
You can see both PaperPort™ 11SE items (MAX files) and non-PaperPort™ 11SE items (files created using
other applications).
All graphical files (PaperPort™ 11SE's *.max and other files) will be displayed and include an icon that
indicates the application that the specific file type is associated or created with. Non-graphical files are
indicated by a small rectangular thumbnail and are not displayed as actual images.
Page Thumbnails displays a close-up of a single page. You can open a PaperPort™ 11SE item by double-
clicking its icon or the thumbnail in Desktop View.
As long as you have the appropriate application on your PC to display it, you can also open a non-
PaperPort™ SE item by double-clicking it.

Scanning
Organizing your items in folders
2
PaperPort™ 11SE has an easy-to-use filing system for organizing your items. The filing system consists of
folders and items that you choose to view in Desktop View. An item can be a PaperPort™ 11SE item or a
non-PaperPort™ 11SE item:
2
„ Folders are arranged in a ‘tree’ structure in the Folder View. You use this section to choose folders and
view their items in Desktop View.
„ You can simply drag and drop an item onto a folder. When the folder is highlighted, release the mouse
button and the item is stored in that folder.
„ Folders can be ‘nested’—that is, stored in other folders.
„ When you double-click a folder, its contents (both PaperPort™ 11SE MAX files and non PaperPort™
11SE files) appear on the Desktop.
®
„ You can also use Windows Explorer to manage the folders and items shown in Desktop View.
Quick links to other applications
2
ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 11SE automatically recognizes many other applications on your PC and creates a
‘working link’ to them.
The bar at the bottom of the PaperPort™ 11SE desktop shows which programs you can use with PaperPort™
11SE.
To send an item from PaperPort™ 11SE to another program, simply drag and drop the item from the
PaperPort™ 11SE desktop to the program icon on the Send To bar. PaperPort™ 11SE automatically
converts the item to the preferred format.
If PaperPort™ 11SE does not automatically recognize one of the applications on your PC, you can manually
create a link using the New Program Link command.
ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 11SE with OCR lets you convert image text into text
you can edit
2
ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 11SE can quickly convert a text document image into text that you can edit with a
word processing application.
PaperPort™ 11SE uses the optical character recognition software (OCR), which comes with PaperPort™
11SE. PaperPort™ 11SE can use your preferred OCR application if it is already on your PC. You can convert
the entire item, or by using the Copy Text command, you can choose only a portion of the text to convert.
Dragging an item onto a word-processing link icon starts PaperPort™ 11SE’s built-in OCR application, or you
can use your own OCR application.
