6. Driver Features

Our Windows drivers also allow the user to take advantage of many of Brother's unique driver features such as:

USB Driver

The Windows 98 USB driver for your MFC9650 provides all the features of the Brother Printer Driver, but in addition you will find the automatic installation due to the USB Plug and Play capabilities a real benefit. It provides a hassle free way to install the driver for those people not particularly familiar with installing drivers.

Manual Duplex

Imagine that you have a 10 page document that you wish to print in duplex mode (i.e., you want to print on both sides of the paper). Traditionally the only way to do this would be by buying an optional duplex unit and then letting the duplex unit take care of the paper handling (printing on both sides of the paper). Brother's MFC9650 Multi Function Centre tackle this problem in a unique way. When manual duplexing is enabled within the printer driver, the printer will print the pages in a particular order. Going back to our 10-page document example, the printer will print pages 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10. When those pages are printed, the printer driver will prompt you to re- insert those pages back into the printer and then print pages 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9. The driver takes care of which pages to print, so there is no need to re-order your documents.

To enable manual duplex, do the following:

Select the "Duplex" tab from the driver, or using the Quick Print Setup program select "Manual Duplex".
