Note
• An interface cable is not a standard accessory. Some computers have
both a USB and a parallel port. Please purchase the appropriate cable
for the interface you intend to use. Most existing parallel cables support
bi-directional communication, but some might have an incompatible pin
assignment or may not be IEEE 1284-compliant.
• Do not use a parallel cable that is longer than 3 metres (10 feet).
• The power cord may differ slightly from this figure depending on the
country where you purchased the printer.
• When you use a USB cable, make sure to use a high speed twisted
cable (12Mbps), and connect it to the USB connector of your PC. Do not
use the USB connector on the front of your PC or on the iMac's

done using a printer command language or page description language.
The printer drivers for the following operating systems are on the supplied
CD-ROM. The latest printer driver can also be downloaded from the Brother
Solutions Center at http://solutions.brother.com.
For Windows® 95/98/Me, Windows NT® 4.0 and Windows® 2000.

Automatic E-mail Printing
♦
Automatic E-mail printing is used to download e-mail automatically, receive
mail at the selected time and print it automatically. You can also set it to
select the mail to be printed automatically depending on the sender and the
subject of the e-mail.
Search e-mail by the sender and the subject and auto print
As soon as an e-mail is received, the printer prints it automatically without
your having to start the print operation. You can also choose the mail you
want to print by having the printer search by sender and subject.
e
Auto access at the selected time
You can check incoming e-mail by accessing the server at the time you set.
Several mail users can share a PC
Usually, it is difficult to share e-mail software between several people on one
PC. Automatic E-mail Printing supports multi-users, so several people can
use e-mail software on one PC.
You can keep your current e-mail software.
Even if you use Netscape or Microsoft Internet Mail, you can use Automatic
E-mail Printing and get additional functions not supplied in the original e-mail
software.

When you use the Automatic emulation selection, note the following:
• The EPSON or IBM emulation mode priority must be selected, because
the printer cannot distinguish between them. Since the factory setting is
the EPSON emulation mode, to use the IBM emulation mode you may
need to select it in the EMULATION menu in SETUP mode using the

This printer has an Automatic interface selection function. When the printer
receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the interface that is
appropriate.
When you use the parallel interface, you can turn the high-speed and bidirectional parallel communications on or off in the Parallel menu in
INTERFACE mode using the control panel. For more information, see
Chapter 3. Since the automatic interface selection mode has been factory
set to ON, simply connect the interface cable to the printer.
If a Network board (Brother NC-4100h) has been installed, select
NETWORK mode by using the control panel.
If you constantly use only one interface, we recommend that you select that
interface in the interface mode. The printer allocates all of the input buffer to
that interface if only one interface is selected.

who is on the network or at the printer Control panel.
You can use the reprint function when the printer is READY or in the Settings
