particular printer needs. Typically, this format is page description language (PDL).

are on the CD-ROM we have
supplied or on the Brother Solutions Center at http://solutions.brother.com. Install the drivers by following the
Quick Setup Guide. The latest printer driver can be downloaded from the Brother Solutions Center at
