Printing
Printing a document
2
When the machine receives data from your computer, it begins printing by picking up paper from the paper
tray. The paper tray can feed many types of paper and envelopes. (See the Basic User's Guide for information
about the Paper Tray and Recommended paper.)
2
a From your application, choose the Print command.
If any other printer drivers are installed on your computer, choose Brother MFC-XXXX* as your printer
driver from the Print or Print Settings menu in your software application, and then click OK to begin
printing.
*(Where XXXX is your model name.)
Note
b Your computer sends the data to the machine and the Data LED will blink.
c When the machine finishes printing all the data, the Data LED finishes blinking.
Note
You can choose the paper size and orientation in your application software.
If your application software does not support your custom paper size, choose the next largest paper size.
Then adjust the print area by changing the right and left margins in your application software.

Printing
Duplex printing
2
The supplied printer driver supports duplex printing.
2
Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper
2
If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
If paper is curled, turn over the stack, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray or the MP Tray.
If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper, straighten it and turn over the
stack.
When you use the manual duplex function, it is possible that there may be paper jams or poor print quality.
If there is a paper jam, see Error and maintenance messages in the Basic User's Guide. If you have a print
quality problem, see Improving the print quality in the Basic User's Guide.
Automatic duplex printing
2
Use Letter, Legal or Folio size paper when you use the automatic duplex printing function.
Make sure that the back cover is closed.
If paper is curled, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray.
Use regular paper or thin paper. DO NOT use bond paper.
Manual duplex printing
2
The machine prints all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, the printer driver
instructs you (with a pop-up message) to reinsert the paper. Before reinserting the paper, straighten it well,
or you may get a paper jam. Very thin or thick paper is not recommended.
Simultaneous scanning, printing and faxing
2
Your machine can print from your computer while sending or receiving a fax in memory, or while scanning a
document into the computer. Fax sending will not be stopped during the computer printing. However, when
the machine is copying or receiving a fax on paper, it pauses the computer printing operation, and then
continues printing when copying or fax receiving has finished.

600 600 dpi. Recommended for ordinary printing. Good print quality with reasonable print speeds.
Fine (2400 dpi class)
2400 dpi class. The finest print mode. Use this mode to print precise images such as photographs. Since
the print data is much larger than in normal mode, processing time / data transfer time and printing time
will be longer.
Note
The print speed will change depending on what print quality setting you choose. Higher print quality takes
longer to print, while lower print quality takes less time to print.
Color/Mono
2
You can change the Color/Mono settings as follows:
Auto
The machine checks the content of your documents for color. If color is detected, it prints in color. If no
color content is detected, it prints in monochrome.
Color
When your document contains color and you want to print it in color, select this mode.
Mono
Select this mode if your document has only black and grayscale text and/or objects. If your document
contains color, selecting Mono mode prints your document in 256 levels of gray.
Note
• Sometimes a document can contain color information even if it appears to be monochrome (for example,
gray areas can actually be made from a combination of colors).
• If either the Cyan, Magenta or Yellow toner reaches the end of its life while printing a color document, the
print job cannot be completed. You can choose to start the print job again in the Mono mode, as long as
black toner is available.

Gray (Error Diffusion)
Use for photographic images or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method for creating simulated gray images
without using true gray dots. Black dots are put in a specific pattern to give the appearance of gray.)
True Gray
Use for photographic images or graphics. This mode is more exact because it uses up to 256 shades of
gray.
256 Color
Uses up to 256 colors to scan the image.
24bit Color
Uses up to 16.8 million colors to scan the image.
Although using 24bit Color creates an image with the most accurate color, the image file will be about
three times larger than a file created with 256 Color. It requires the most memory and has the longest

desktop or folder) or an icon.
You can see both PaperPort™ 12SE items (MAX files) and non-PaperPort™ 12SE items (files created using
other applications).
All graphical files (PaperPort™ 12SE's *.max and other files) will be displayed and include an icon that
indicates the application that the specific file type is associated or created with. Non-graphical files are
indicated by a small rectangular thumbnail and are not displayed as actual images.
58
Scanning
ImageView displays a close-up of a single page. You can open a PaperPort™ 12SE item by clicking the
Open with Image View button on the Desktop ribbon.
As long as you have the appropriate application on your PC to display it, you can also open a
non-PaperPort™ SE item by double-clicking it.
3
Organizing your items in folders
3
PaperPort™ 12SE has an easy-to-use filing system for organizing your items. The filing system consists of
folders and items that you choose to view in Desktop. An item can be a PaperPort™ 12SE item or a
non-PaperPort™ 12SE item:
Folders are arranged in a ‘tree’ structure in the Folder View. You use this section to choose folders and
view their items in Desktop.
You can simply drag and drop an item onto a folder. When the folder is highlighted, release the mouse
button and the item is stored in that folder.
Folders can be ‘nested’—that is, stored in other folders.
When you double-click a folder, its contents (both PaperPort™ 12SE MAX files and non PaperPort™
12SE files) appear in Desktop.
®
You can also use Windows Explorer to manage the folders and items shown in Desktop.
59
Scanning
Quick links to other applications
3
ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 12SE automatically recognizes many other applications on your PC and creates a
‘working link’ to them.
The bar at the bottom of the PaperPort™ 12SE desktop shows which programs you can use with PaperPort™
12SE.
3
To send an item from PaperPort™ 12SE to another program, simply drag and drop the item from the
PaperPort™ 12SE desktop to the program icon on the Send To bar. PaperPort™ 12SE automatically
converts the item to the preferred format.
If PaperPort™ 12SE does not automatically recognize one of the applications on your PC, you can manually
create a link using the New Link button on the Tools ribbon.
ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 12SE with OCR lets you convert image text into text
you can edit
3
ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 12SE can quickly convert a text document image into text that you can edit with a
word processing application.
PaperPort™ 12SE uses the optical character recognition software (OCR), which comes with PaperPort™
12SE. PaperPort™ 12SE can use your preferred OCR application if it is already on your PC. You can convert
the entire item, or by using the Copy Text button on the Item ribbon, you can choose only a portion of the
text to convert.
Dragging an item onto a word-processing link icon starts PaperPort™ 12SE’s built-in OCR application, or you
can use your own OCR application.
Importing items from other applications
3
As well as scanning items, you can bring items into PaperPort™ 12SE in a variety of ways and convert them
to PaperPort™ 12SE (MAX) files in several different ways:
®
Print to the Desktop from another application, such as Microsoft Word.
®
Import files saved in other file formats, such as Windows Bitmap (BMP) or Tagged Image File Format
(TIFF).

If there is a paper jam, see Error and maintenance messages in the Basic User's Guide. If you have a print
quality problem, see Improving the print quality in the Basic User's Guide.
