I'm using the parallel port on my Windows® 95/98/Me PC, and the print speed is slow.(The printer pauses between each page.) What can I do?

There are two ways to solve this issue:

 


  • (Recommended) Download the latest printer driver. Please go to the "Downloads" section in this web site to get the latest driver.

 

  • If you do not wish to download the latest driver, you can change a setting within your current printer driver that should resolve this issue. Please follow the steps below:
  1. From your Windows® PC, click "Start" =>"Settings" => "Printers".
  1. Highlight the Brother printer driver and then click "File"=>"Properties" option.
  1. From the properties of the printer driver, select the "Advanced" tab.
  1. Select the "Manual" setting and click the "Setting" button as shown below.
  1. Now change the "Graphics Mode" from Raster to "GDI".
  1. Click "OK" to return back to the original "Properties" screen.

  2. From the "Properties" screen, click the "Apply" button to accept the settings.

 

There should now be no delay between each printed page.
