A Printer Driver is software that translates data from the format used
by a computer into the format required by a particular printer, using
a printer command language or page description language.
The printer drivers are on the CD-ROM we have supplied. Install the
drivers first by following the Quick Setup Guide. Also, the latest
printer driver can be downloaded from the Brother Solutions Center
