6 6Using Brother DCP as a Printer

Special Printing Features

Windows® Printing

The dedicated printer driver and TrueType™ compatible fonts for Microsoft® Windows® 95/98/98SE/Me/2000 Professional and Windows NT® Workstation Version 4.0 are available on the CD-ROM supplied with your machine. You can install them easily into your Windows® system using our installer program. The driver supports our unique compression mode to enhance print speed in Windows® applications; it allows you to set various printer settings, including economy print mode and custom paper size.

Bi-directional Parallel Interface

The Brother DCP’s parallel interface enables it to send memory and printer setup information to the computer.

Printing from Your PC

Multi-purpose Sheet Feeder

The DCP’s multi-purpose sheet feeder can feed plain paper, envelopes, and organizer paper. When the machine 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 DCP. If there are more pages, the DCP begins to print the next page automatically.

You may 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 left and right margins in your application software. (See Acceptable Paper , page 2-7.)
