Printer Setting Tool
Printer Setting Tool is a Brother utility for configuring and managing Brother printers and multifunction devices connected to a Mac. It provides access to printer-specific settings, network configuration, firmware updates, and device status information. The app is typically installed alongside Brother printer drivers and is used by anyone who owns or administers a Brother printer to adjust settings beyond what the standard macOS print dialog offers.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionBrother's Printer Setting Tool is a helper utility bundled with their printer drivers rather than a standalone application. To ensure it runs natively on Apple Silicon, you need to update the parent Brother printer driver package itself. Visit Brother's support website (support.brother.com), locate your specific printer model, and download the latest macOS driver suite — this will include an updated Printer Setting Tool. Brother has been shipping native Apple Silicon driver bundles since 2021 for most printer models, so a standard re-install or update of the driver package should give you the native version. If you cannot find your specific model on Brother's support site or if you are unsure which driver you need, contact Brother support directly with your printer model number — they can point you to the correct native driver bundle. This is especially important to confirm before September 2028, when Apple removes Rosetta 2 and Intel-only utility tools will stop working entirely.
