How to install Brother Printer with CD rom?

I recently bought a Brother Dcp-t5oow recently, I got a CD along with the printer. Do I need to install the content of the CD on my computer to use the printer or by using the default printer settings in Windows PC will work? I am confused as to what settings to use as the content of the CD is quite complicated and beyond my understanding. Does anyone here have any idea on how to use the CD ROM to install my Brother printer?

CD which comes along with your device contains a setup wizard and the drivers for your machine to function properly. You can simply put the CD in the CD-ROM of your computer and your computer will automatically start the setup wizard which you can follow to install the Brother printer with CD.

Step 2: Open the "Control Panel" of your computer and click on "Add a Printer Device". Now your computer will start looking for discoverable printer device around and present you a list of devices found.

The setup wizard is fairly simple to understand and will ask simple questions like what should be the location for your printer files, do you want to make this your default printer etc. Complete the configuration and setup process.
