Using the "Printer Setting Tool", you can specify the printer's communication settings and device settings from a Mac.  Not only can you change the device settings for one printer, but you can also apply the same settings to multiple printers.

1. Connect the printer you want to configure to the computer.
2. Click [Macintosh HD] - [Applications] - [Brother] - [Printer Setting Tool] - [Printer Setting Tool.app].
   The [Printer Setting Tool] window appears.
3. Check that the printer you want to configure appears beside [Printer].  If a different printer appears, select the printer you want from the drop-down list.

   If only one printer is connected, it is unnecessary to make a selection since only that printer will appear.

    
4. Select a setting tab, and then specify or change the settings.
5. Click [Apply Settings to the Printer] in the setting tab to apply the settings to the printer.
6. Click [Exit] to finish specifying settings.

   Use the "Printer Setting Tool" to configure the printer only when the printer is in standby.  The printer may malfunction if you attempt to configure it while it is handling a job.
