11Setting Up Brother MFC and PC to Work Together

Using the Brother Machine with Your PC

Multi-Function Link® Pro software (MFL Pro) turns your Brother machine into a multi-function center, by enabling you to use your fax machine as a printer.

The MFC 4300 is a 3 in 1 multi-function center — It’s a fax, copier and printer. Install the Printer Driver and other Brother Software from the bundled CD-ROM.

Caution

It is important that you hook up your MFC to your computer before you install the software.

If you have previously installed Brother Multi-Function Link® Pro software or Brother Printer Driver for another machine, uninstall it first.

Before you install the printer driver, you must read the README.WRI file in the root directory of the CD-ROM for important last-minute installation information and troubleshooting tips.
