Setting Up Brother Machine and PC to Work Together

(For MFC 8300 Only)

This chapter is for the MFC 8300. If you have a MFC 8600 or MFC 8700, please see the Multi-Function Center Software Manual.

Using the Brother Machine with Your PC

The MFC 8300 is a 3 in1 multi-function center—it’s a Fax, Copier and Printer. Before you can print from Windows® on your PC, you must first follow the steps in this chapter to connect the Brother machine to your computer and to install the Brother printer driver from the bundled CD-ROM

If you have a FAX 4750, FAX 5750 or MFC 8300 and purchased the optional Multi-Function Link® Pro accessory (PCI-3CD), the machine becomes a 6 in 1 multi-function center.
