Setting Up the machine and PC to Work Together
Before You begin
• Please purchase the appropriate interface cable you intend to use with this machine (parallel or USB).
• Some illustrations are based on the MFC-8500.
Use only a shielded parallel interface cable that is IEEE 1284-compliant and/or a USB cable that is no longer than 6 feet long (1.8 meters).
You must set up the hardware and install the driver before you can use your machine as a printer and
scanner with your application. Brother offers both a Windows
®
Logo Tested (WHQL) driver and a Brother
Native Driver on the CD-ROM. The Windows
®
Logo Tested Driver is automatically installed when you follow
the installation steps below. The Brother Native driver offers some features that are not available with the
Windows
®
Logo Tested Driver. The features available on the Brother Native driver can vary by model.
Please see the README.WRI file on the CD-ROM or the visit us at
http://solutions.brother.com for details
on these features. You must follow steps 1 to 7 before you can proceed to the installation procedure for the
Brother Native Driver.
