To use the Printer Setting Tool for Mac, follow the steps below:

 

  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.

    If not, select the correct printer from the drop-down list.
  4. Specify or change the settings in the Settings tabs.
