Printing from other applications than the Brother iPrint&Scan when using an Android™ mobile device.

You can also print photos, documents and web pages by sharing them with Brother iPrint&Scan.
For example, you can print photos that are attached to email messages from your mobile device.

  • Password-protected documents cannot be printed.
  • Some encrypted PDF files cannot be printed.
  • When printing a PDF file that uses fonts that are not embedded in the file, characters may be replaced with characters of a different font or may be garbled.
  • When printing a PDF that includes transparent objects, the transparency setting will be ignored and the file will be printed with that setting off.
