DCP-8025D 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 and TrueType™ compatible fonts for

Microsoft® Windows® 95/98/98SE/Me/2000 Professional/XP and

Windows NT® workstation 4.0 are available on the CD-ROM

supplied with your DCP. 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.

Popular Printer Emulation Support

The DCP supports HP LaserJet (PCL level 6) and BR-Script 3

(PostScript® 3™) printer emulation mode. If you use DOS application

software, you can use HP LaserJet (PCL level 6) and BR-Script 3

(PostScript® 3™) emulation mode for printer operations.
