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 parallel cables support bidirectional 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 keyboard.

AC power:

• AC 220-240 V 50/60 Hz or

• AC 100-120 V 50/60 Hz

The power cord, including extensions, should not exceed 5 metres (16 ½ feet).

Do not share the same power circuit with other high-power appliances such as an air conditioner, copier, shredder and so on. If you cannot avoid using the printer with these appliances, we recommend that you use an isolation transformer or a high-frequency noise filter.

Use a voltage regulator if the power source is not stable.

1-5

EEnnvviirroonnmmeenntt

Use the printer only within the following ranges of temperature and humidity:

Ambient temperature: 10°C to 32.5°C (50°F to 90.5°F) Ambient humidity: 20% to 80% (without condensation)

Do not block the air exit on top of the printer. Do not place objects on top of the printer, especially on the air vent.

Ventilate the room in which you use the printer.

Do not put the printer in direct sunlight. Use a blind or a heavy curtain to protect the printer from direct sunlight if you have to put the printer near a window.

Do not install the printer near devices that contain magnets or generate magnetic fields.

Do not drop, bang or shake the printer. Do not expose the printer to open flames or salty or corrosive gases.

Put the printer on a flat, horizontal surface.

Keep the printer clean. Do not install the printer in a dusty place. Do not install the printer near an air conditioner.

Types of envelope to avoid

Do not use envelopes:

• that are damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped;

• that are extremely shiny or highly textured;

• with clasps, snaps or tie strings;

• with self-adhesive closures;

• that are of baggy construction;

• that are not sharply creased;

• that are embossed (that have raised writing on them);

• that were previously printed by a laser printer;

• that are pre-printed on the inside;

• that cannot be arranged uniformly when put in a pile;

• that are made of paper that weighs more than the paper-weight

specifications for the printer;

• that have been badly made, with edges that are not straight or

consistently square; or

• with transparent windows, holes, cutouts or perforations.

Fig. 1-17

If you use any of the types of envelope listed above, they may damage your printer. This damage is not covered under any warranty or service agreement.

✒✒✒✒

Note

CHAPTER 1 ABOUT THIS PRINTER

• Before you print envelopes, you must ‘fan’ the stack of envelopes well to avoid paper jams and misfeeds.

• When you print on double-flap envelopes, place them sideways in the Multi-purpose Tray.

• Do not load different types of paper at the same time in the Multi- purpose Tray because paper jams and misfeeds may occur.

• Do not print on envelopes using Duplex Printing.

• For correct printing, you must choose the same paper size from within

your software application as the paper in the tray.

• If your application software does not support paper size selection in its print menu, you can change the paper size by using the paper menu on the printer control panel. For more information, see Chapter 3.

• Do not use damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped paper.

• Do not use labels without a mount.

• We recommend that you use labels and transparencies that are made for

laser printers.

• Use labels and transparencies that can withstand intense heat; the interior of the printer reaches very high temperatures while printing.

Fig. 1-22

✒✒✒✒

Note

• Before using paper with holes, such as organizer sheets, you must fan

the stack of paper well to avoid paper jams and misfeeds.

• Do not place the punched holes of organizer sheets near the actuator

(paper sensor).

• Do not use organizer sheets that are stuck together. The glue on them

might cause damage to the printer.

• Do not load different types of paper at the same time in the paper

cassette because this may cause paper jams or misfeeds.

• For correct printing, you must select the same paper size from within

your software application as the paper in the tray.

• If your application software does not support paper size selection in its

Web Browser Management

Many Brother printers support Embedded Web Server (EWS) technology. This means that you can use a standard web browser to manage many aspects of the printer; for example, you can view consumable life, configure network parameters, view serial number information, printer usage, and so on. Start your web browser and enter the NetBIOS name, DNS name or IP address of the printer.

BRAdmin professional

The BRAdmin Professional software is designed to manage your Brother network connected devices. For example, Brother network ready printers and Brother network ready Multifunction devices can be managed using the BRAdmin Professional software. The BRAdmin Professional software can also be used to manage devices from other manufacturers whose products support the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).

♦♦♦♦

Storage Manager

Brother Storage Manager software can manipulate the printer forms that you may have stored in the internal flash memory. You can print the fixed form document at any time from the control panel. To make the fixed documents print, you must first write Fonts, Macros or fixed forms to the memory of your printer.

Driver Deployment Wizard

This installer includes the Windows PCL driver and Brother network port driver (LPR and NetBIOS). The administrator should set up the IP address, Gateway and Subnet with BRAdmin Professional before using this software. If the administrator then installs the printer driver and port driver using this software, he can save the file to the File server or send the file in E-mail to users. Then, each user just clicks that file to have the printer driver, port driver, IP address, and so on, automatically copied to their PC.

This printer has an Automatic Emulation Selection function. When the printer receives information from the computer, it automatically chooses the emulation mode. This function has been set at the factory to ON.

The printer can select among the following emulation combinations:

EPSON (default) IBM

HP LaserJet HP LaserJet BR-Script 3 BR-Script 3 EPSON FX-850 IBM Proprinter XL

You can choose the emulation mode manually by using the EMULATION menu in the SETUP mode on the printer control panel. For more information,

see Chapter 3.

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 EPSON emulation mode, so to use the IBM emulation mode you will need to select it by using the EMULATION menu in the SETUP mode on the printer control panel.

• Try this function with your application software or network server. If the

function does not work properly, either select the required emulation mode manually using the printer panel buttons or use the emulation selection commands in your software.

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 by using the Parallel menu in the INTERFACE mode on the printer control panel. For more information, see

Chapter 3. Since the Automatic Interface Selection mode has been set at the

factory to ON, simply connect the interface cable to the printer.

If a Network board (Brother NC-4100h) has been installed, select NETWORK mode on the printer 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.
