Print on Both Sides of A4 Paper and Cut the Paper in Half (Automatic 2-
sided Printing and Cutting) (Windows)
• Before printing, install your Brother machine's printer driver on a computer connected to your machine. To
install the driver, go to your model's
Downloads page at support.brother.com .
• Make sure the jam clear cover is closed.
• If paper is curled, straighten it and put it back in the paper tray.
• Use regular paper. DO NOT use bond paper.
• If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
Your machine automatically resizes A4 documents to A5 size or leaves A5 documents in their original size, prints
them side-by-side on both sides of A4 paper, and cuts the paper in half.
You can also print A4 documents without resizing on both sides of A4 paper, and your machine will cut the
paper in half. You will get two 2-sided A5 size printed pages - one for the top half of the A4 document, and
another - for the bottom half of the A4 document that you printed.
