Our focus is to ensure that our bundled third party software will continue to properly process date/time data after January 1, 2000. Brother FAX/MFC and multi-function centers will function properly after January 1, 2000, provided that all nonBrother hardware, software and firmware used by our customers in connection or combination with Brother FAX/MFC, and bundled software, accurately exchange date data with the Brother products.
