1 Installing the BS-3000 Brother BR-Script 3 font Windows systems (Windows 95/98/Me, NT 4.0 and 2000/XP) Steps and a screen in this section are based on the Windows XP. 1 Brother BR-Script 3 font upgrade To activate the additional BR-Script 3 fonts, you must send an activation key to the printer you wish to upgrade. To send the activation key, follow the steps below: 1 You must have already installed the corresponding Windows printer driver onto the PC you wish to upgrade from. Use the CD-ROM that was supplied with the printer to install a printer driver. 2 Insert the BS-3000 CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. 3 Double-click ADDFONT in the AddFont folder on the CD-ROM. 4 A screen similar to the one below will appear: 5 Select the appropriate printer.

2 2 Install the BR-Script 3 PPD file Now that the internal printer fonts are activated, we recommend you install the BR-Script 3 PPD file onto your computer. This updated driver file will allow you to select the Internal printer fonts from your Windows applications. Please note: We recommend you install the BR-Script 3 PPD file if you wish to print using the BRScript 3 emulation. If you are using PCL drivers, proceed to the TrueType installation procedure. If you are unsure which driver you are using (PCL or BR-Script) look at the printer drivers installed on your PC, if the printer driver name ends with BR-Script you are using the Brother s PostScript emulation driver and should proceed with this part of the BS-3000 installation. 2 Click the Start button and select Printers and Faxes. 3 Click Add a Printer. 4 Click the Next button until the Install Printer Software screen appears. 5 Select Have Disk... 6 Click the Browse... button. 7 Open the following folder on the CD.

These TrueType fonts can be used by Windows applications without the installation of a PPd file. By installing the TrueType fonts you are able to see how the document you are working on will appear on the printed page, as the TrueType screen fonts accurately represent the fonts that are stored within the printer. 2 Run the SETUP.EXE program which is located in the Fonts / DISK1 folder. 3 Follow the instruction on the screen. 2
