The Brother™ partnership with Microsoft® ensures compatibility between Windows® 7 and a large number of Brother models. The drivers for many models are already included with Windows 7 or are available through Windows® update. The drivers included
with Windows 7 are built into the operating system. Brother original drivers for Windows 7 are also available for download and may include more functionality as well as additional utilities. Brother recommends the latest driver download provided from the Brother
Solutions Center.
