15 Using Multi-Function Link® Pro Software Introduction This chapter outlines the basics of the Brother software, so you can get started using the Multi-Function Link® Pro software. Detailed installation and setup instructions are in the On-Line Documentation section of the Brother CD-ROM 1 that is included with your MFC. Check the online README.WRI file in the root directory of the CD-ROM 1 for last-minute important information and troubleshooting tips that were not included in the On-Line Documentation. Multi-Function Link® Pro software for your MFC includes PaperPort® for Brother and TextBridge®. (See Chapter 16, Using PaperPort® and Scan Soft™ TextBridge®.) Software by: Brother Resource Manager The Brother Resource Manager application must be running for you to use your MFC with your Windows® computer. Multi-Function Link Pro software and the MFL Pro Printer Driver automatically load the Resource Manager, as needed. The Resource Manager allows the single bidirectional Parallel port on the MFC to simulate a Communications port for faxing and scanning and to simulate a Parallel port for Windows® GDI printing. The MFC also can use Epson LQ-510, LQ-850 and LQ-2550 printer emulation, which do not require the Resource Manager. USING MULTI-FUNCTION LINK® PRO SOFTWARE 15 - 1
