PRINTER/SCANNER 3 Using the machine as a Printer Special Printing Features Windows® Printing The dedicated printer driver for Microsoft® Windows® 95, 98, 98SE, Me, 2000 Professional and Windows NT® Workstation Version 4.0 are available on the CD-ROM supplied with the MFC. You can easily install them into your Windows® system using our installer program (See Quick Setup Guide). The driver supports our unique compression mode to enhance printing speed in Windows® applications, and allows you to set various printer settings including economy printing mode and custom paper size. Brother Resource Manager The Brother Resource Manager application must be running for you to use the machine with your Windows® computer.
