Brother DCP-8080dn Print Codes

[Boaz Bezborodko]

I like the Brother printers as you can print directly to them with 
Filepro.  I don't know how your forms are formatted, but, assuming your 
are using plain text printing, (not HP laserjet commands) the Brother 
printers have (at least) two emulation modes.  One is for Epson commands 
and the other for IBM.  The printer defaults to an "Auto" selection and 
you may have to force it to one or the other.

Otherwise, Bob Rasmussen's PrintWizard is an absolutely great program 
that helps make all sorts of printing operations easier including 
overlaying forms, print layout, printing to PDFs and e-mailing them.
