How Can I Change the Font Size on My Brother MFC-240C Printer?
When printing off documents you may find situations where you don't want all of the text to be set to the same font size, such as if you need a larger heading or a smaller section of text underneath a picture. Your Brother MFC-240C doesn't include an option to change font sizes directly through the buttons on the printer or even through the included software. Instead, you need to manually change the font size through your specific word processing program prior to starting the print job.
