Using the Brother FAX-1800C 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 screens shown in this section are from Windows® 98. The screens on your
Note
PC may vary depending on your Windows Operating System.
For more information, please see the on-line Help in the printer driver.
Paper Tab
The paper tab screen allows you to set up the Paper Size, Paper Source, Paper
Thickness, Orientation, Scaling, and Copy/Page Order.
To access the Brother printer driver, select Print from the File menu. In the Print
dialog box, select Brother FAX1800C from the Name drop down list. Click the

Quality/Color Tab
The Quality/Color tab screen provides Quality, Media type, Document type,

of these selections are designed to offer the best quality output for your
document.
Select the Apply button to apply your selected settings.

Quality
The quality selection allows you to choose the print resolution you want for your
document. Print quality and speed are related. The higher the quality the longer
it will take to print the document. The quality selections available will vary
depending on the media selection.
I Draft: The fastest print mode and the lowest ink consumption. Use this mode to
print large volume documents or a document for proofing.
I Normal: Recommended for ordinary printouts.
I Fine: Better print quality than normal mode and faster print speed than Super
Fine.
I Super Fine: Use this mode to print precise images such as photographs. Since
the print data is much larger than normal mode, the processing time, data
transfer time and print time will be longer.

Color Matching
You can select the color matching method yourself. Select the best one for your
document.
I Match Monitor
Suitable for photographic images. Color is adjusted to get the closest color
match to the PC monitor.
I Vivid Color
Suitable for business graphics such as charts, graphs, and text. The color is
adjusted to give more vivid color.
(For Windows® 98/98SE/Me)
(For Windows® 2000 Professional)
Custom Setting
You can customize your settings by selecting the type of Halftone or Color
Enhance/True2Life.
Halftone Pattern
The Brother machine can use several methods to arrange where to place dots to
express halftones. There are some predefined patterns for placement of dots and
you can select which one is used for your document. Select the appropriate
method.
I Photo
This method creates smooth halftones suitable for photographic images. It takes
more time to process data, but it expresses more levels of halftones and creates
more natural images.

P R I N T E R D R I V E R S E T T I N G S ( W I N D O W S
O N L Y )
I Cluster
This is suitable for business graphics such as charts, graphs and drawings, since
this creates sharper printouts. Moreover, the processing time is shorter.
Color Enhance
Selecting Color Enhance/True2Life ON enables the True2Life feature. This
feature analyzes your image to improve quality sharpness, white balance and
color density. This process may take several minutes depending on the size of
the image and the speed and RAM memory of your computer.
I Color Enhance/True2Life ON
Adjusts the color in the image for better print quality. Print time will be longer
with True2Life set to ON.
I Sharpness
This setting enhances the detail of an image. This is similar to adjusting the fine
focus of a camera. If the focus is off a little you will not be able to clearly see
the fine details of an image.
I Color Density
This adjusts the total amount of color in the image. You can increase or decrease
the amount of color in an image to improve a picture that may appear washed
out or weak.
I White Balance
This adjusts the hue of the white sections of an image. Lighting, camera settings
and other influences will effect the appearance of white. The white parts of a
picture may appear to be slightly pink, yellow or some other color. By using
this adjustment you can correct this effect and bring the white sections back to
pure white.
I Brightness
Change the brightness of the whole image. Moving the scroll bar to the left
makes your image darker and moving the scroll bar to the right makes your
image lighter.
I Contrast
Change the contrast of an image. Darker sections will be darker and lighter
sections will be lighter as you increase the contrast. Increase the contrast when
you want an image to be clearer. Decrease the contrast when you want an image
to be more subdued.
I Red
Increase the intensity of the Red color by adding red to the whole image.
I Green
Increase the intensity of the Green color by adding green to the whole image.
I Blue
Increase the intensity of the Blue color by adding blue to the whole image.

Choosing the Right Kind of Paper
To achieve high quality printing using your machine, it’s very important to
select the right kind of paper. Be sure to read “About Paper” on page 3-1 of the
Owner’s Manual before you select and purchase paper.
Multi-purpose Sheet Feeder
The multi-purpose sheet feeder can feed plain paper, inkjet paper, glossy paper,
transparencies and envelopes. When the machine receives data from your
computer, it begins the print process by feeding paper from the multi-purpose
sheet feeder.
After you select the print command from your PC, the print process begins:
1
Your PC sends a print command and data to the machine, the LCD shows
RECEIVING DATA.
2
3
If there are more pages, the machine begins to print the next page automatically.
When the machine finishes printing all data, it returns to display the date and
time.
You can select the paper source, 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.

Simultaneous Printing/Faxing
Your machine can print data from your computer while sending or receiving a
fax, or while scanning information into the computer. However, when the
machine is copying or receiving a fax on paper, it pauses the PC printing
operation, and then resumes printing when copying or fax receiving is finished.
Fax sending will continue during PC printing.
The Ink Key
When you press Ink, the LCD shows:
1.CLEANING
If you are having trouble with one of the
ink colors, you may need to clean the
2.REPLACE INK
print head. (See Cleaning the Print Head
in the Owner’s Manual, page 15-9.)
If you got the error message NEAR EMPTY or INK EMPTY, you will need
to replace the ink cartridge for the appropriate color.
(See Error Messages in the Owner’s Manual, page 15-1.)
Stop/Exit Key
If the LCD shows REMAINED DATA, you can clear data left in the printer
memory by pressing Stop/Exit.
Checking the Print Quality
If you want to check the print quality and find out how to improve it, see How
