Setup, Compatibility & Care

The printer is compatible with modern Windows and Mac operating systems, including Windows 11 and macOS Sequoia. For initial setup, ensure the device is placed on a level, sturdy surface capable of supporting its 26.7 kg weight.

Always use genuine Brother consumables to ensure the 2400 x 600 DPI print quality remains consistent throughout the life of the machine.
