You can install them easily into your Windows® system using our installer program. The driver supports our unique compression mode to enhance print speed in Windows® applications; it allows you to set various printer settings, including economy print mode and custom paper size. Bi-directional Parallel Interface The Brother DCP's parallel interface enables it to send memory and printer setup information to the computer. Printing from Your PC Multi-purpose Sheet Feeder The DCP's multi-purpose sheet feeder can feed plain paper, envelopes, and organizer paper. When the machine receives data from your computer, it begins the print process by loading paper from the multi-purpose sheet feeder. If there are more pages, the DCP begins to print the next page automatically. You may select the paper source, paper size, and orientation in your application software. If your application software does not support your custom paper size, select the next larger paper size. Then adjust the print area by changing the left and right margins in your application software. (See Acceptable Paper, page 2-7. ) 6-1 USING BROTHER DCP AS A PRINTER Two-Sided Printing (Manual Duplex) The supplied printer drivers for Windows® 95/98/98SE, Windows NT® Workstation Version 4. 0 support manual duplex printing. (For more information, see the Help screen for the printer driver. ) Please select LPT1 port in the printer driver. The machine prints all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, the Windows® 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. If the paper "double-feeds" (sends two sheets at once), hold the stack of paper except for the front sheet while the paper is feeding. Multi-purpose Sheet Feeder When you use manual duplexing, it is possible that a paper jam may occur or the printer quality might not be satisfactory. Loading Envelopes in Multi-purpose Sheet Feeder You can load up to 10 envelopes into the multi-purpose sheet feeder. Press and hold the blue lever on the right as you load the envelopes and slide the paper guides to fit. Make sure envelopes are inserted in the direction shown below. Load the envelopes and adjust the guide with the lever down USING BROTHER DCP AS A PRINTER 6-2 Paper Tray The DCP ejects paper with printed surfaces face down into the paper tray at the front of the machine. When you use transparencies, remove each sheet immediately after printing, to prevent a paper jam or curled sheets. Simultaneous Printing/Copying Your DCP can print data from your computer while scanning information into the computer. However, when the DCP is copying on paper, it pauses the PC printing operation and then resumes when copying is complete. 6-3 USING BROTHER DCP AS A PRINTER Choosing Acceptable Paper We recommend that you test paper, especially special sizes and types, on the DCP before purchasing large quantities.
