How to Install

Notes:

  • To use the PS driver on a Network, see the Network User's Guide.
  • If you use a USB cable and your Macintosh is "Mac OS X", only one printer driver for an MFC can be registered in Print Center.
  • If a Brother Native Driver (MFC/DCP-XXX) is already listed in Printer list, you will need to delete it and then install the PS driver.
  • To use the PS driver with a USB cable, you need to set the Emulation to BR-Script3 (Press Menu button on the Control Panel of the MFC/DCP, select "Printer" and then "Emulation") before connecting the USB cable.
  • The PS driver does not support the following functions:
    -HQ 1200
    -Secure Print
    -PC-Fax Sending

 

For USB Users:

  1. Make sure the printer power switch is on.
  2. Connect the USB interface cable to your Macintosh, and then connect it to the printer.
  3. Download the target file to your Macintosh. Once downloaded, StuffIt will
    automatically extract the file.
    You will find the icon "BrotherPPD.pkg" on the desktop.

    Note:
    If you don't find the icon, please extract the downloaded file manualy with "Disk Copy". "Disk Copy" can be found in /Applications/Utilities.
    "dmg" is called "disk image file". This needs "Disk Copy". By using "Disk Copy", the Installer Disk Image can be mounted.
  4. Double click the BrotherPPD.pkg icon.
    Follow the instructions on the screen.
  5. Run the Macintosh and select Applications from the Go menu.
