Using the Brother FAX-4100  Printer Driver 
A Printer Driver is software that translates data from the format used by a 
computer into the format required by a particular printer. A driver uses a printer 
command language or page description language.
The latest printer driver can also be downloaded from the Brother Solutions 
Center at http://solutions.brother.com.

For more detailed information, please see the on-line Help in the printer driver.
