Safety Information

IMPORTANT - For Your Safety

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

Extension cords should not be used with the equipment. If it is essential that an extension cord has to be used, it must be a three-pin plug type and correctly wired to provide proper grounding. Incorrectly wired extension cords may cause personal injury and 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.

Caution

Use of controls or adjustment or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual might result in hazardous radiation exposure.

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.

Caution for batteries

Do not replace the battery. There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Do not disassemble, recharge or dispose of by fire. Used batteries should be disposed of according to local regulations.

Caution for LAN connection

Connect this product to the LAN connection which is not subjected to overvoltages.

REGULATIONS

Wiring Information (For U.K. only)

Important

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 by ASTA 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 PROPERLY EARTHED.

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

Green and yellow: Earth Blue: Neutral Brown: Live

The colors of the wires in the main lead of this printer may not correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug.

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

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

The wire which is colored 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

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

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

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

AAUUTTOOMMAATTIICC EEMMUULLAATTIIOONN SSEELLEECCTTIIOONN

This printer has an automatic emulation selection function. When the printer receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the emulation mode. This function has been factory set to ON.

The printer can select the emulation among the following combinations:

EPSON/IBM Priority EPSON (default) IBM

Auto Selection Mode HP PCL 5C HP PCL 5C

BR-Script 3 BR-Script 3

HP-GL HP-GL

EPSON FX-850 IBM Proprinter XL

To get the best possible color output, we recommend that you use the Brother BR-Script 3 emulation.

The printer is set to the HP color printer emulation (PCL5C) mode automatically. Since PCL5C mode takes the highest priority in the automatic emulation selection, in most cases you can start using the printer as it is with the factory settings.

Note

Emulation modes other than PCL5C and BR-Script 3 are monochrome emulation modes.

3-1

CHAPTER 3 BEFORE WORKING WITH THE PRINTER

You can select the emulation mode manually by using the control panel to access the EMULATION menu in SETUP mode. For more information, see

Chapter 4.

Note

When you use 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, you might need to select the IBM emulation mode by using the control panel to access the EMULATION menu in SETUP mode.

•

Try Automatic emulation selection with your application software or network server. If it does not work properly, select the emulation mode manually by using either the printer control panel or the emulation selection commands in your software.

CHAPTER 3 BEFORE WORKING WITH THE PRINTER

AAUUTTOOMMAATTIICC IINNTTEERRFFAACCEE SSEELLEECCTTIIOONN

This printer has an automatic interface selection function. When the printer receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the IEEE 1284 Parallel or USB interface, whichever is appropriate.

When you use the parallel interface, you can turn the high-speed and bidirectional parallel communications on or off by using the control panel to access the PARALLEL menu in INTERFACE mode. For more information, see Chapter 4. Since the automatic interface selection mode has been factory set to ON, simply connect the interface cable to the printer. (Note: Always turn off both your computer and printer when connecting or disconnecting the cable).

When necessary, select the interface or the serial communications parameters manually by using the control panel to access the INTERFACE mode. For more information, see Chapter 4. For the settings on your computer, please refer to your user’s manual for your computer or application software.

3-3

CHAPTER 3 BEFORE WORKING WITH THE PRINTER

Note

When you use 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 by using the control panel to access the SELECT menu in INTERFACE mode.

If you typically use only one interface, we recommend that you select that interface in the INTERFACE mode. If only one interface is selected, the printer will allocate the entire input buffer to that interface.

Note

If you use paper that does not meet the specifications listed in this User’s Guide the life of the various consumables and parts may be reduced.

!

Caution

When you feed thin paper in the Long Edge Feed direction, paper jams may occur. If a paper jam occurs, feed the paper in the Short Edge Feed Direction.

Using Transparencies

When you print on transparencies that have a line tape on the edge, be sure to remove the tape before loading.

If you do not remove the tape, the transparency may skew.

Fig. 3-5

3-13

CHAPTER 3 BEFORE WORKING WITH THE PRINTER

Before loading envelopes in the cassette, check the following:

Envelopes should have a lengthwise sealing flap.

•

The sealing flaps should be folded crisply and correctly (irregularly cut

•

or folded envelopes may cause paper jams).

Envelopes should consist of two layers of paper in the following

•

marked area.

Fig. 3-6

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

•

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

•

Print quality may vary between different style envelopes. It is a good

•

idea to test the envelopes you wish to use prior to purchasing large quantities.

• If your application software supports paper size selection on the print

menu, you can select it through the software. If your application software does not support it, you can set the paper size in the printer driver or from the control panel.

• The paper size has been factory set to letter for 120V models or A4 for

220/240V models. If you want to use other size of paper or envelopes, change the paper size in the PAPER menu of the PRINT MENU using the control panel. For paper size selection, see “PRINT MENU” in

Chapter 4.

• If you use pre-printed paper in the cassettes, please note that the paper

should be loaded with the printed side face up and the top edge of the paper at the back of the cassette.

The printer automatically detects the paper size you have loaded into the Paper Cassette. If you load a different size of paper into the paper cassette from the size that was selected from the control panel or in your application software, the printer will prompt you to load the correct size of paper as follows:

SIZE MISMATCH

Paper mismatch between the Printer and the Printer Driver setting. Load Paper <size> size into Tray <1/2/3>
