Brother MFC-J1012DW Driver Download

Brother MFC-J1012DW Driver helps the computer recognize this wireless inkjet multifunction printer before any print, scan, copy, or fax job is sent. Once the setup is complete, the driver passes those commands to the machine with the right device settings instead of leaving Windows or macOS to guess. A nearby computer can use USB during installation. For shared placement, the same printer can run over a wireless network. Proper driver communication also keeps scanned files and printed output tied to the settings chosen on the computer.

Brother MFC-J1012DW Specifications

Brother MFC-J1012DW is a colour inkjet all-in-one for printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. Ink reaches the page through a piezo printhead, with 210 nozzles for black and 70 nozzles for each colour. The four-cartridge LC401 ink set keeps black, cyan, magenta, and yellow separate. Inside the body, 128 MB of memory supports the print engine, and the 1.8-inch colour TFT screen shows menus without touch control.

Print resolution reaches 1200 × 6000 dpi from Windows when the proper mode and paper are used. ISO speed is rated at 17 ppm for black pages and 9 ppm for colour. Borderless printing is not open-ended; it is limited to Letter, A4, A6, common photo sizes, and 5 × 8-inch index cards. Scanning depends on the original path. The flatbed gives 1200 × 2400 dpi for single sheets or bound items, while the ADF scans at 1200 × 600 dpi. Copy output can reach 1200 × 1800 dpi.

Paper loads from a 150-sheet tray, so longer jobs still need some attention. Plain and recycled sheets use the same tray as inkjet and glossy paper. Standard sizes include Letter, A4, Legal, Executive, A5, and A6, with photo paper and index cards also accepted. Envelopes fit in C5, Com-10, DL, and Monarch sizes. Finished pages land in a 50-sheet output tray, which is smaller than the main input tray. The 20-page ADF feeds single-sided originals for scan, copy, and fax work. Automatic duplex printing is limited to plain or recycled Letter, A4, Executive, and A5 paper.

A nearby computer can use the USB 2.0 port. Wireless jobs can run over an IEEE 802.11b/g/n network, or through Wi-Fi Direct when a router connection is not available. This body does not have Ethernet or NFC; those belong to the related MFC-J1170DW. Fax hardware uses ITU-T Group 3, with 14,400 bps transmission and automatic fallback on weaker lines. The address book stores 40 numbers, and fax groups can be arranged into six groups. Brother lists the machine at 17.9 lb.
