3 - 13   PRINTER DRIVER AND SOFTWARE

A printer driver is software that translates data from the format used by a computer to the format that a 
particular printer needs. Typically, this format is a printer command language (PCL) or page description 
language. 

The printer drivers for the following operating systems are on the CD-ROM that we have supplied. You 
can also download the latest printer driver from the Brother Solutions Center at
