Safety Information

IMPORTANT - For Your Safety

To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power point which is properly grounded through the normal household wiring.

Extension cords used with this printer must be three-pin plug type and correctly wired to provide proper grounding. Incorrectly wired extension cords may cause personal injury an equipment damage.

The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power is grounded and that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding of the power, consult a qualified electrician.

Disconnect device

This printer must be installed near a power outlet that is easily accessible. In case of emergencies, you must disconnect the power cord from the power outlet to shut off the power completely.

Geräuschemission / Acoustic Noise Emission (For Germany Only)

Lpa < 70 dB (A) DIN 45635-19-01-KL2

Wiring Information (For U.K. Only)

If the mains plug supplied with this printer is not suitable for your socket outlet, remove the plug from the mains cord and fit an appropriate three pin plug. If the replacement plug is intended to take a fuse then fit the same rating fuse as the original.

If a moulded plug is severed from the mains cord then it should be destroyed because a plug with cut wires is dangerous if engaged in a live socket outlet. Do not leave it where a child might find it!

In the event of replacing the plug fuse, fit a fuse approved byASTA to BS1362 with the same rating as the original fuse.

Always replace the fuse cover. Never use a plug with the cover omitted.

WARNING - THIS PRINTER MUST BE EARTHED

The wires in the mains cord are coloured in accordance with the following code :

GREEN AND YELLOW : EARTH BLUE : NEUTRAL BROWN : LIVE

Important

The colours of the wires in the mains lead of this printer may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug.

If you need to fit a different plug, proceed as follows.

xv

Remove a length of the cord outer sheath, taking care not to damage the coloured insulation of the wires inside.

Cut each of the three wires to the appropriate length. If the construction of the plug permits, leave the green and yellow wire longer than the others so that, in the event that the cord is pulled out of the plug, the green and yellow wire will be the last to disconnect.

Remove a short section of the coloured insulation to expose the wires.

The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter “E” or by the safety earth symbol

, or coloured green or

green and yellow.

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “N” or coloured black or blue.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “L” or coloured red or brown.

The outer sheath of the cord must be secured inside the plug. The coloured wires should not hang out of the plug.

• When printing, the inside tray automatically rises to feed paper into the printer.

• If envelopes get smudged during printing, set the print density to a higher value in the QUALITY mode with the control panel setting for darker printouts. To adjust the print density setting, see Chapter 3.

• Envelope joints that are sealed by the manufacturer should be secure.

• All sides should be properly folded without any wrinkles or creases.

Most envelopes will perform acceptably on your printer. However, some envelopes will have feed and print quality problems because of their construction. A suitable envelope should have edges with straight, well creased folds and should not have more than two thicknesses of paper along the leading edge. The envelope should lie flat and not have baggy or flimsy construction. Purchase quality envelopes only from a supplier who understands that the envelopes will be used in a laser printer. All envelopes should be tested prior to use to ensure desirable print results.

✒ ✒

Note

The manufacturer neither warrants nor recommends the use of a particular envelope because envelope properties are subject to change by the envelope manufacturer. The entire responsibility for the quality and performance of envelopes lies with the customer.

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 using the control panel in INTERFACE mode. 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.

When you use the serial interface, you need to have the same communications settings on both the printer and the computer. Since the automatic interface selection mode has been factory set with certain settings, you may be able to simply connect the interface cable to the printer if your computer has the settings listed below.

Communications parameters Factory settings

Baud rate (data transfer speed) 9600

Code type (data length) 8 bits

Parity (data error check) None

Stop bit (data separator) 1 stop bit

Xon/Xoff (handshake protocol) ON

DTR (ER) ON

Robust Xon OFF

If a Network board (Brother NC-4100h) has been installed, use the control panel to select NETWORK.

When necessary, use the control panel in the INTERFACE mode to select the interface or the serial communications parameters manually. For more

information, see Chapter 3. For the computer settings, see the manual for

the computer or software you are using.

CHAPTER 2 DRIVER AND SOFTWARE

When you use the Automatic interface selection, note the following:

• This function takes a few seconds to work. If you want to speed up

printing, select the required interface manually in the SELECT menu by using the control panel in the INTERFACE mode.

If you constantly use only one interface, we recommend that you select that interface in the INTERFACE mode. The printer allocates the entire input buffer to that interface when only one interface is selected.

secure area of the printer. This document can then be re-printed by anyone

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 menu.

When you want to print PROOF, PUBLIC or SECURE data, we recommend

installing the optional HDD or CompactFlash card.

If you do not install an HDD (See Hard Disk Drive (HD-6G/HD-EX) in

Chapter 4) or CompactFlash card (see “CompactFlash Card” in Chapter 4),

you can reprint from RAM.

The reprint data in RAM will be deleted when the printer is turned off.
