Setting Up Mac Print Settings to Print Double-Sided PDFs with Brother Printers

Are you struggling to print double-sided PDFs with your Brother printer on a Mac? If so, this article is here to help you troubleshoot the issue and get back to printing efficiently.

Firstly, let's identify the problem. If your driver listed in the Printer & Scanners section is the Brother CUPS driver, then it's likely that the Brother Original Driver has been fully installed. To confirm, click on your printer in the list and ensure that the 'Kind' listed is a Brother CUPS driver.

Next, navigate to System Preferences by selecting it from the Apple Menu or clicking on it in the Dock. From here, click on the Printers & Scanners icon (or Print & Scan/Fax depending on your operating system).

Now, let's take a look at your printer settings. If you're using a built-in or generic printer driver, be aware that it may not have all the features and capabilities of the Brother Original driver. This could result in slower printing speeds and missing options.

To uninstall the generic driver and install the Brother Original Driver, follow these steps:

1. Right-click on the Brother printer driver and select Delete or Remove Device (depending on your operating system).

2. Reinstall the Brother Original Driver, which can be downloaded from our website.

3. Confirm that you want to delete the driver by clicking Yes.

Once you've installed the Brother Original Driver, you should see an Advanced tab or Support button in the driver settings. If this is missing, then the Brother Original Driver has not been fully installed.

To verify that the driver has these features, right-click on your Brother machine and select Printing preferences. From here, you can check if the driver has all the necessary options.

By following these steps, you should be able to set up your Mac print settings to print double-sided PDFs with your Brother printer. If you're still experiencing issues, make sure to check our website for specific instructions on how to add the Brother Original printer driver for your model and operating system.

Remember, not all models are compatible with all listed operating systems, so be sure to check your machine's specifications before proceeding. With these simple steps, you'll be printing like a pro in no time!
