Printing a document

2

When the machine receives data from your computer, it begins printing by picking up paper from the paper 
tray. The paper tray can feed plain paper and recycled paper to the machine. (See 

Paper capacity of the 

paper tray

 on page 2.)

a

From your application, choose the Print command.
If any other printer drivers are installed on your computer, choose 

Brother HL-XXXX series

 (Where 

XXXX is your model name.) as your printer driver from the Print or Print Settings menu in your software 
application, and then click 

OK

 or 

Print

 to begin printing.

b

Your computer sends the data to the machine. The 

Ready

 LED ( ) will blink.

c

When the machine finishes printing all the data, the 

Ready

 LED ( ) finishes blinking.

NOTE

• You can choose the paper size and orientation in your application software.
• If your application software does not support your custom paper size, choose the next largest paper size.
• Then adjust the print area by changing the right and left margins in your application software.
