USER’S GUIDE

IMPORTANT (For U.K. only)

If the power cord supplied with this printer is not suitable for your electrical 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 fuse as the original.

If a moulded plug is severed from the power cord then it should be destroyed because a plug
with cut wires is dangerous if plugged into 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 orginal 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 cololured in accordance with the following code:

The colours of the wiring in the power lead of this printer may not correspond with the
markings which identify the terminals in your plug. If you need to fit a different plug,
proceed as follows.

Green and yellow : Ground
Blue : Neutral
Brown : Live

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 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.

❏ 300 dpi Resolution and 6ppm Printing Speed

300 dots per inch (dpi) with microfine toner and six pages per minute
(ppm) printing speed (A4 or Letter paper).

❏ Versatile Paper Handling

The printer has a multi-purpose sheet feeder and straight paper path
mechanism. Using this mechanism, you can load A4, letter, legal, B5,
A5 and executive sizes of paper, and various types of paper including
envelopes, postcards, organizer paper, and your custom paper size.
The multi-purpose sheet feeder also allows manual paper loading, so
you can also use labels and transparencies.

®

❏ Windows

The dedicated printer driver and TrueType™-compatible fonts for
Microsoft

Printing

®

Windows 3.1 are available on the floppy disk supplied
with your printer. You can easily install them into your Windows
system using our installer program. The driver supports our unique
compression mode to enhance printing speed in Windows
applications, and allows you to set various printer settings including
economy printing mode, custom paper size and sleep mode settings.

❏ Remote Printer Console Program for DOS

The utility program, Remote Printer Console (RPC), is available on a
floppy disk supplied with your printer. When you operate your
computer in the DOS (Disk Operating System) environment, this
program allows you to easily change the default settings of the printer
such as fonts, page setup, emulations and so on.
This program also provides a status monitor program, which is a
Terminate-and-Stay Resident (TSR) program. It can monitor the
printer status while running in the background and report the current
status or errors on your computer screen.

❏ Popular Printer Emulation Support

This printer supports three printer emulation modes, HP LaserJet IIP,
Epson FX-850, and IBM Proprinter XL. When you use DOS
application software or Windows version 3.0 or earlier, you can use

USER’S GUIDE

❏ Bi-Directional Parallel Interface

The parallel interface of this printer allows bi-directional
communication with a computer. This interface allows the printer to
communicate back to the computer useful information such as the
amount of memory installed, and other printer setup conditions. As
the supplied Remote Printer Console or Windows 3.1 driver both
support the bi-directional mode, they can both report the printer
status.

❏ Optional Apple Macintosh Interface (Pre-installed in some

countries)

The optional Apple Macintosh serial interface kit is available, which
allows your printer to be connected to Apple Macintosh computers.
With this option, you can use your printer with both an IBM PC, or
compatible and an Apple Macintosh at the same time. This optional
interface board can be used as an RS-422A interface for Macintosh or
an RS-232C serial interface for IBM PC or compatible.

❏ Enhanced Memory Management

The printer has its own Data Compression Technology, which can
automatically compress graphic data and download font data
efficiently into the printer’s memory. You can avoid memory errors
and print most full page 300 dpi graphic and text data, including
larger fonts, with the printer’s standard memory.

❏ Environmentally Friendly

Economy Printing Mode

This feature will cut your printing cost by around 50% by saving
toner. This feature is useful when draft copies are used for proof­reading. You can select this mode on/off through the Remote Print
Console software or Windows printer driver supplied with your
printer.

Sleep Mode

Sleep mode automatically reduces power consumption when the
printer is not in use. The printer consumes less than 10W when in
sleep mode.

Low Running Cost

The toner cartridge is separate from the Drum Unit. You need to
replace only the toner cartridge after around 3,000 pages, which is
cost effective and ecologically friendly.

CHAPTER 3 CONTROL PANEL

Sleep Mode

Whether the printer is in the on-line or off-line state, and the printer does
not receive data for a certain period of time (time out), it enters sleep
mode. Sleep mode acts as though the printer was turned off. The factory
set default time out is 15 minutes. While the printer is in sleep mode, all
the lamps are off and it is as if it was turned off, but the printer can still
receive data from the computer. Receiving a print file or document
automatically wakes up the printer to start printing. Pressing any switch
also wakes up the printer.

✒ Note

• This printer has no power switch. The sleep mode handles the power
control.

• When the printer goes into sleep mode, the fan will not stop until the

Q & A

This section contains questions and answers for using your printer. If
you have encountered problem, find the question relating to your
problem and take the steps recommended to correct the problem.

Setting up the Printer Hardware

Question Recommendation

The printer does not
work. All lamps are off.
The printer does not
print.

Setting up the Printer for DOS

The printer may be in sleep mode. Press any
switch to wake up printer.
Check the following:

• The protective parts have been removed.

• The toner cartridge and drum unit are

installed properly.

• The interface cable is securely connected

between the printer and computer.

• Notice if any lamps are blinking. Notice

which lamps are blinking and refer to
Operator Call section of this manual.

Questions Recommendation

I cannot print from my
application software.

• Check if the DOS application software

interface settings match that of your
printer. ( i.e., if you are using a parallel
printer cable, then you would most likely
set your DOS software printer port to
LPT1.)

• Check if the printer has any printer alarms

active.

• If the serial interface is used, make sure

that the RS-232C serial interface is selected
with the slide switch. Make sure that the
interface settings are correctly set up with
the proper DIP switches. Make sure the
serial parameters of baud rates, parity and
stop bits match between your application
software and the printer.

6–8

Questions Recommendation

The printer prints, but it
prints incorrect
information. Sometimes
it prints a couple of
characters and then ejects
the page, etc.

This is an indication that your application
printer emulation setting and the printer’s
emulation do not match. Check in your
application software which printer you have
selected to make sure the printer is set up
correctly. Remember this printer emulates three
widely used printer selections : HP LaserJet IIP,
Epson FX-850, and IBM Proprinter XL. A
suggestion is to reset the printer to factory
settings by using the RESET function or by
using the RPC to set the printer into HP
emulation and then select the HP LaserJet IIP

printer in your application software.
The printer does not print
when I press the Print
Screen Key.
(DATA lamp On)
The printer prints the first
part of my document but
doesn’t print the last
page.
(DATA lamp On)

Press the FF/CONT switch. The data has been

sent to the printer but the printer did not receive

the Page Eject command (print screens do not

send this command.)

This was a common problem with database

software and spreadsheet software when not

correctly set up. The data has been sent to the

printer but the printer did not receive the Page

Eject command. Press the FF/CONT switch to

eject the page. Then check with your software

supplier on how to add a Page Eject ( or Form

Feed) command to the end of your print job.
How can I change the

Use the remote printer console (RPC) program.
User settings or default
settings of the printer?

CHAPTER 6 TROUBLESHOOTING

Setting up the Printer for Windows

Questions Recommendation

The printer does not
work.

Check the followings:

• The printer plugged in.

• Interface cable is securely connected

between the printer and computer.

• There are any alarm conditions (blinking

lamps.)

6–9

USER’S GUIDE

Questions Recommendation

I cannot print from my
application software.

• If you are using Windows 3.1, make sure

the supplied printer driver is installed and
selected with your application software.

• If you are using Windows 3.0 or earlier,

make sure that proper printer driver is
installed and selected to match the printer
emulation.

• If you use the serial interface, make sure

that the serial slide switch of the serial
interface is in the correct position and the
interface settings are correctly set up with

the DIP switches.
How can I change the
printer’s default settings?
Sometimes I get a Print
Overrun error when
printing certain
documents from
Windows.

Exit to DOS and use the remote printer console
program.

• Set the TrueType mode to ‘Print as

graphics’ from the PRINT menu in your

application software.

• Reduce the print resolution or reduce the

complexity of your document and try

again.
Sometimes I get the
Memory Full message.
How can I correct this?

• Set the TrueType mode to ‘Print as

graphics’ from the PRINT menu in your

application software.

• Another solution is to purchase more

memory.

• Reduce the print resolution or reduce the

complexity of your document and try

again.

Setting up the Printer for Apple Macintosh Computers

Questions Recommendation

The printer does not
print.

6–10

Check the following:

• The printer is plugged in.

• Paper is loaded.

• No error conditions are active (any blinking

lamps on printer.)

• Printer is on-line.

Questions Recommendations

I cannot print from my
application software.

Paper Handling

Questions Recommendations

The printer does not load
paper.

The printer does not load
paper from the manual
feed slot.
How can I load
envelopes?

What paper can I use? You can use plain paper, envelopes,

How can I clear paper
jams?

CHAPTER 6 TROUBLESHOOTING

• Make sure that the supplied printer driver is

installed in the System Folder and it is

selected with Chooser.

• Check the PORT selection within Chooser :

it should match the port you physically

attached the printer cable to.

• The serial slide switch of the optional

interface board is in the RS-422A position.

• Check the printer cable type (you should

not be using a Local-Talk or straight-thru

cable.)

• Note if the ALARM and PAPER lamps are

blinking. If so, the multi-purpose sheet

feeder is out of paper. Load a new stack of

paper in the feeder.

• If there is paper in the multi-purpose sheet

feeder, make sure it is straight. If the paper

is curled, you should straighten it before

printing.

• Reduce the stack of paper in the multi-

purpose sheet feeder, then try again.

When the MANUAL lamp is blinking, press the
FF/CONT switch for manual loading.
Re-insert the paper firmly.
You can load envelopes from either the multi­purpose sheet feeder or the manual feed slot.
Your application software must be set up
correctly to print on the envelope size you are
using. This is usually done in the page setup or
document setup menu of your software. Refer
to your application manual.

USER’S GUIDE

Printing

Questions Recommendations

The printer prints
unexpectedly or it prints
garbage.

• Make sure your application software is

correctly set up to use this printer and

check the printer driver settings or printer

settings in your application software.

• Check the printer emulation settings. If you

can use the supplied RPC program, use it to

change the settings as required. Also, you

can print the current setting list from the

RPC program or Printer Control Panel.

• You may clear the problem by resetting the

printer to user or factory settings. See “-

Reset/Hex Dump Mode” in Chapter 3.

• Make sure that the correct interface type

and settings are set up to match your

computer. Be sure to use the RS-422A

serial interface for Macintosh computers

and the RS-232C serial interface for PCs.
The printer cannot print
full pages of a document.
An error message “Print
Overrun” occurs.

The printer received a very complex print job
and could not process part of the page. This
may be solved by the following ways.

• If you are using Windows 3.1 with the

supplied printer driver, set the TrueType
mode to ‘Print as graphics’.

• Reduce the complexity of your document or

reduce the print resolution.
The printer prints the first
couple of pages correctly,
then some pages have
text missing.

This is a problem usually relating to Serial
Interface settings. Your computer is not
recognizing the printer’s input buffer full signal.
Causes could be: incorrect serial cable
(incorrectly wired or too long), incorrect setting

of your computer serial interface.
The printer cannot print
my spreadsheet. A
"Memory Full" error
message occurs.

Some applications download several types and

sizes of fonts. This can use up your printer

memory very quickly. Either reduce the number

of font sizes within your application, reduce

resolution or purchase additional memory for

the printer.
My headers or footers
appear when I view my
document on screen but
do not show up when I
print them.

Most laser printers have a restricted area that
cannot be printed on. Usually the first two lines
and last two lines of text cannot print. Adjust
the top and bottom margins in your document to
allow for this.

Print Quality

Questions Recommendations

Printouts are too dark or
light.

Printed pages contains
white stripes.

CHAPTER 6 TROUBLESHOOTING

Certain environmental conditions such as humidity, high temperatures,
etc. may cause the following situation to occur.

Printed pages are blurred at
the center or either edge.

• Make sure that the printer is placed on a flat,

horizontal surface.

• Remove the drum unit with the toner cartridge

installed. Hold the unit horizontally with both
hands and tap it firmly against a flat surface 3
or 4 times. Re-install the drum/toner unit and
try printing again. If the print quality is
acceptable, continue using this drum unit. If the
print quality is not acceptable, please contact
Brother customer service or your local
authorized service center for further assistance.
