Using the Brother printer driver

A Printer Driver is software that translates data from the format used by a computer into the format required  
by a particular printer, using a printer command language or page description language.  
The printer drivers are on the CD-ROM we have supplied. Install the drivers first by following the Quick Setup  
Guide. Also, the latest printer driver can be downloaded from the Brother Solutions Center at:  
Windows® Printing  
The dedicated printer driver for Microsoft® Windows® 98/98SE/Me/2000 Professional/XP and Windows NT®  
workstation 4.0 are available on the CD-ROM supplied with your Brother device. You can install them easily  
into your Windows® system using our installer program. The driver supports our unique compression mode  
to enhance printing speed in Windows® applications, and allows you to set various printer settings, including  
economy printing mode and custom paper size.  
How to print your document  
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.)  
1 From your application, select the Print command.  
If any other printer drivers are installed on your computer, select Brother MFC-XXXX or DCP-XXXX  
(USB) Printer (Where XXXX is your model name. If you are using a USB cable to connect your machine  
then USB will be in the printer driver name) as your printer driver from the Print or Print Settings menu  
in your software application, and then click OK to begin printing.  
Note  
2 Your computer sends the data to the machine.  
The LCD shows Receiving Data.  
3 When the machine finishes printing all the data, the LCD shows the date and time.  
Note  
You can select the paper size and 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.

Printing from the manual feed slot  
Note  
The machine automatically turns on the Manual Feed mode when you put paper in the manual feed slot.

The machine illustrations are of the MFC-7420 or MFC-7820N, but the descriptions apply to all the  
models.  
1 Set the Paper Size, Media Type, Paper Source, and other settings in the printer driver.  
Set the Paper Source to Manual.  
2 Slide the paper guides to fit the paper size.  
3 Using both hands put paper in the manual feed slot until  
the front edge of the paper touches the paper feed roller.  
Hold the paper in this position until the printer  
automatically feeds it in for a short distance, and then let  
go of it.  
4 Send the print data to the machine.  
Note  
Put the paper into the manual feed slot with the side to be printed face up.  
Make sure that the paper is straight and in the proper position on the manual feed slot. If it is not, the paper  
may not be fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout or a paper jam.  
Do not put more than one piece of paper in the manual feed slot at any one time, as it may cause a jam.  
5 After the printed page comes out of the machine, put in the next sheet of paper as in Step 3 above.  
Repeat for each page that you want to print.

Using the machine as a printer  
Manual Duplex Printing  
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.

Simultaneous printing and faxing  
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.  
Note  
The Fax function is not available for DCP-7020.

The Brother MFL-Pro Suite software includes a TWAIN compliant scanner driver. TWAIN drivers meet the  
standard universal protocol for communicating between scanners and software applications. This means that  
not only can you scan images directly into the PaperPort® 9.0SE viewer that Brother included with your  
machine, but you can also scan images directly into hundreds of other software applications that support  
TWAIN scanning. These applications include popular programs like Adobe® PhotoShop®, Adobe®  
PageMaker®, CorelDraw® and many more.

Using ScanSoft® PaperPort® 9.0SE and OmniPage® OCR  
ScanSoft® PaperPort® 9.0SE for Brother is a document  
management application. You can use PaperPort® 9.0SE to  
view scanned documents.  
PaperPort® 9.0SE has a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, filing  
system that will help you organize your graphics and text  
documents. It allows you to combine or “stack” documents of  
different formats for printing, faxing or filing.  
2
ScanSoft® PaperPort® 9.0SE can be accessed through the  
ScanSoft® PaperPort® 9.0SE program group.  
This chapter is only an introduction to the basic operations of  
ScanSoft® PaperPort® 9.0SE.  
The complete ScanSoft® PaperPort® 9.0SE User’s Guide, including ScanSoft® OmniPage® OCR, is in the  
Documentation located on the CD-ROM.  
When you install MFL-Pro Suite, ScanSoft® PaperPort® 9.0SE for Brother and ScanSoft® OmniPage® OCR  
are installed automatically.  
Note  
If you are using Windows® XP or Windows® 2000 Professional, you must be logged on with administrator  
rights.

How to scan using Windows®  
Viewing items  
ScanSoft® PaperPort® 9.0SE provides several ways to view items:  
Desktop View displays a thumbnail (a small graphic that  
represents each item in a Desktop or folder).  
2
Items in the selected folder appear on the PaperPort® 9.0SE  
Desktop. You can see PaperPort® 9.0SE items (MAX files)  
and non-PaperPort® 9.0SE items (files created using other  
applications).  
Non-PaperPort® 9.0SE items include an icon that indicates  
the application that was used to create the item; a  
non-PaperPort® 9.0SE item is represented by a small  
rectangular thumbnail and not an actual image.  
Desktop View displays items  
as thumbnails  
Page View displays a close-up of a single page and you can  
open a PaperPort® 9.0SE item by double-clicking on it.  
As long as you have the appropriate application on your  
computer to display it, you can also double-click a  
non-PaperPort® 9.0SE item to open it.  
Page View displays each item  
as a full page  
Organizing your items in folders  
PaperPort® 9.0SE has an easy-to-use filing system for organizing your items. The filing system consists of  
folders and items that you select to view in Desktop View. An item can be a PaperPort® 9.0SE item or a  
non-PaperPort® 9.0SE item:  
Folders are arranged in a “tree” structure in the Folder View.  
You use this section to select 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 items (both PaperPort® 9.0SE MAX files and non PaperPort® 9.0SE  
files) appear on the Desktop.  
You can also use Windows® Explorer to manage the folders and items shown in Desktop View.  
2 - 16  
   
How to scan using Windows®  
Quick links to other applications  
ScanSoft® PaperPort® 9.0SE automatically recognizes many other applications on your computer and  
creates a “working link” to them.  
The Send To Bar at the bottom of the Desktop view shows icons of those linked applications.  
2
To use a link, drag an item onto one of the icons to start the application represented by the icon. A typical use  
of the Send To Bar is to select an item and then fax it.  
This sample Send To Bar shows several applications with links to PaperPort® 9.0SE.  
If PaperPort® 9.0SE does not automatically recognize one of the applications on your computer, you can  
manually create a link using the New Program Link... command.  
(See PaperPort® 9.0SE in the Documentation section on the CD-ROM for more information about creating  
new links.)  
ScanSoft® OmniPage® OCR lets you convert image text into text you can edit  
ScanSoft® PaperPort® 9.0SE can quickly convert the text on a ScanSoft® PaperPort® 9.0SE item (which is  
really just a picture of the text) into text that you can edit with a word processing application.  
PaperPort® 9.0SE uses the optical character recognition application ScanSoft® OmniPage® OCR, which  
comes with PaperPort® 9.0SE.  
OR—  
PaperPort® 9.0SE can use your preferred OCR application if it is already on your computer. You can convert  
the entire item, or by using the Copy Text command, you can select only a portion of the text to convert.  
Dragging an item onto a word-processing link icon starts PaperPort® 9.0SE’s built-in OCR application, or you  
can use your own OCR application.  
Importing items from other applications  
In addition to scanning items, you can bring items into PaperPort® 9.0SE in a variety of ways and convert  
them to PaperPort® 9.0SE (MAX) files in several different ways:  
Print to the Desktop View from another application, such as Microsoft® Excel.  
Import files saved in other file formats, such as Windows® Bitmap (BMP) or Tagged Image File Format  
(TIFF).

How to scan using Windows®  
Exporting items in other formats  
You can export or save PaperPort® 9.0SE items in several popular file formats, such as BMP, JPEG, TIFF,  
PDF or self-viewing.  
For example, to create a file for an Internet Web site, export it as a JPEG file. Web pages often use JPEG  
files for displaying images.  
2
Exporting an image file  
1 Select the Save As command from the File pull-down menu in the PaperPort® 9.0SE window. The Save  
‘XXXXX’ as dialog box will be displayed.

9600 × 9600 dpi (not available for MFC-7220 and MFC-7225N)  
Color Type  
Black & White—Set the image Type to Black and White for  
text or line art. For photographic images, set the image type  
to Gray (Error diffusion) or True Gray.  
Gray (Error Diffusion)—is used for documents that have  
photographic images or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method  
for creating simulated gray images without using true gray  
dots. Black dots are placed in a specific pattern to give the  
appearance of gray.)  
True Gray—is used for documents with photographic images  
or graphics. This mode is more exact because it uses up to  
256 shades of gray. It requires the most memory and takes  
the longest transfer time.  
Colors (not available for MFC-7220 and MFC-7225N)—Choose either 8-bit Color, which scans up to 8-bit  
Color or 24-bit color which scans up to 16.8 million colors. Although using 24-bit color creates an image with  
the most accurate colors, the image file will be about three times larger than a file created with 8-bit Color.

The Brightness setting is only available when Black & White or Gray (Error Diffusion) or True Gray is  
selected.  
Contrast  
You can only adjust the Contrast level when you have selected one of the Gray Scale settings, it is not  
available when you have selected Black & White as the selected Color Type.  
Increasing the Contrast level (by dragging the slide bar to the right) emphasizes dark and light areas of the  
image, while reducing the Contrast level (by dragging the slide bar to the left) reveals more detail in the gray  
areas. Instead of using the slide bar, you can type a value in the box to set the Contrast. Click OK.
