USER’S GUIDE
IMPORTANT - Wiring Information (For U.K. only)
If the power cord supplied with this printer is not suitable for your electrical outlet, remove the plug from th e mai ns cord and fit an ap propriate three pin plug. If the replacemen t 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 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 co rd are coloured in acco rdance with the following code:
Green and yellow: Ground Blue: Neutral Brown: Live
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.
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 appropri at e l ength. If the const r uction of the pl ug 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 t he 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.

You can avoid memory errors and print most full page 600 dpi graphic and text data, including larger fonts, with the printer’s standard memory.
Environment-Friendly
Economy Printing Mode
This feature will cut your printing cost by saving toner. It is useful to obtain draft copies for proof-reading. Y ou can select from two economy modes—25% toner saving and 50% toner saving—through the Windows printer driver supplied with your printer.
Sleep Mode (Power Save Mode)
When the printer is not used for a certain amount of time, sleep mode automatically reduces power consumption. The printer consumes less than 9 W when in sleep mode.
Low Running Cost
Since the toner cartridge is separate from the drum unit, you need to replace only the toner cartridge after approximately 2,200 pages, which is cost effective and ecologically friendly. (In USA, Canada and some other areas the printer is supplied with a starter toner cartridge which must be replaced after 1,000 pages.) The actual number of pages printed with each toner cartridge may vary depending on your average type of print job.

The supplied printer driver for Windows 95 or Windows 3.1 enables manual duplex printing. For more information about settings, see the help text in the printer driver.
The printer prints all the even numbered pages on one side of the paper first, and then prints all the odd pages on the reverse side of the paper.
When you have finished printing the even numbered sides of the paper , the driver instructs you to re-insert the paper by a pop-up message on the computer screen. Follow the instructions on how to reinsert the paper.
Note
Before re-inserting the sheets, you have to straighten them, or you will get paper handling errors.
The use of very thin or very thick paper is not recommended.
If you encounter a double feeding error, we recommend that you hold
all sheets of paper except the front sheet while the paper is feeding.

Other Control Features
The printer has the following useful features:
CHAPTER 3 CONTROL PANEL
Sleep Mode
When the printer does not receive data for a certain period of time (time­out), it enters sleep mode. Sleep mode acts as though the printer was turned off. The default time-out is 5 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 the switch also wakes up the printer.
Note
When the printer goes into sleep mode, the fan will not stop until the printer engine has cooled down.
Sleep mode allows the print engine to cool, so the temperature of your room and how long the printer has been in sleep mode affects the warm-up time. This warm-up time can take up to 20 seconds. The Ready lamp blinks to indicate that the printer is warming up.
You can change the time out for the sleep mode with the supplied printer driver or Remote Printer Console program. Refer to the Help section in the printer driver or RPC program for more information about the sleep mode setting.

CHAPTER 3 –4
Control Features Set by the Brother Printer Driver
Page Protection
If the printed images are too complex to print, the printer may print a partial image on the page. If this occurs, the printer has lost some print data and will indicate a “print overrun” error by printing an error report.
The page protection feature allows the printer to create the image to be printed in memory before physically moving the paper through the printer. Therefore, setting page protection to ON may eliminate the “PRINT OVERRUN” error.
The “AUTO” setting does not require additional memory and it automatically uses page protection only when it is necessary. Occasionally , when AUT O page protection is on, processing complex print data may be slightly delayed.
Note
To set the Page Protection to A4, Letter or Legal paper sizes, the following total capacity of memory is required.
300 dpi 600 dpi Letter/A4 2 Mbytes 6 Mbytes Legal 3 Mbytes 6 Mbytes
CHAPTER 3 CONTROL PANEL
If your printer does not have enough memory for page protection, your document may be printed at 300 dpi.
You can set this function in the following ways.
The supplied printer driver for Windows 95/Windows 3.1

When removing the drum unit, handle carefully as it may contain toner.
You should clean the printer when you replace the drum unit. See
“CLEANING THE PRINTER” in this chapter.
Note
The drum unit is a consumable, and it is necessary to replace it periodically. There are many factors that determine the actual drum life, such as temperature, humidity, type of paper and toner that you use, the number of pages per print job, etc.. The drum life is estimated at approximately 20,000 pages at 20 pages per job and 8,000 pages at 1 page per job. The actual number of pages that your drum will print may be significantly less than these estimates. Because we have no control over the many factors that determine the actual drum life, we cannot guarantee a minimum number of pages that will be printed by your drum.
For best performance, use only genuine Brother toner, and the product should only be used in a clean, dust-free environment with adequate ventilation.

The printer prints, but it prints incorrect information. Sometimes it prints a couple of characters and then ejects the page.
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 does not print the last page. (Data lamp On)
How can I change the User settings or default settings of the printer?
Check if the DOS a
interface settings match that of your printer: for example, if you are using a parallel printer cable, you would most likely set your DOS software printer port to LPT1.
Check to see 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
rinter. This is an indication that your application printer emulation setting and the printer’s emulation do not match. Check in your application software to see which printer you have selected and to make sure that the printer is set up correctly. Remember this printer emulates three widely used printer selections : HP LaserJet 5P, Epson FX-850, and IBM Proprinter XL. Try setting the printer into HP emualtion and then select the HP LaserJet 5P/5L printer in your application software. Press the panel 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 panel 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.

Setting Up the Printer for Apple Macintosh Computers when the Optional RS-100M Serial Interface is Installed into Your Printer
Question Recommendation
I cannot print from my application software.
Make sure that the supplied Macintosh printer
driver is installed in the System Folder and it is selected with Chooser.
Check the PORT selection within the Chooser: it
should match the port to which you physically attached the printer cable.
The serial slide switch of the optional interface
board should be in the Apple (RS-422A) position.
Check the printer cable type: you cannot use a
LocalTalk or straight-through cable. Refer to
Chapter 4 for details on printer cable type.

The printer does not load paper from the manual feed slot. How can I load envelopes? You can load envelopes from either the multi-purpose
What paper can I use? You can use plain paper, envelopes, transparencies,
How can I clear paper jams? See “PAPER JAMS” in this chapter.
Check to see if the “Paper Empty” message appears
on your computer screen or the Alarm and Paper lamps are blinking on the printer control panel. If so, the multi-purpose sheet feeder may be out of paper or not properly installed. If it is empty, load a new stack of paper into 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. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the stack over and put it back into the paper tray.
Reduce the amount of paper in the multi-purpose
sheet feeder, then try again.
Re-insert the paper firmly, one sheet at a time.

labels, and organizer paper. For information on loading paper, see “Paper Handling” in Chapter 2.
CHAPTER 6 –10
Printing
Question Recommendation
The printer prints unexpectedly or it prints garbage.
The printer cannot print full pages of a document. A “Print Overrun” error message occurs.
The printer prints the first couple of pages correctly, then some pages have text missing.
The printer cannot print full pages of a document. A “Memory Full” error message occurs.
My headers or footers appear when I view my document on screen but do not show up when I print them.
Turn on and off the printer or reset the printer.
Make sure your application software is correctly set
up to use this printer by checking the 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.
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. Refer to
“SERIAL INTERFACE BOARD RS100M” in
Chapter 4.
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 95/Windows 3.1 with the
supplied printer driver, change the following settings on the driver and try again.
Graphics Mode TrueType Mode Use Printer TrueType Fonts
See the page protection mode to “AUTO” for your
document size.
Reduce the print resolution or reduce the complexity
of your document and try again.
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) or incorrect setting of your computer serial interface. Some applications download several types and sizes of fonts. This can use up your printer memory very quickly. Set the Page Protection to AUTO for your document size, reduce the number of font sizes within your application, reduce resolution, or purchase additional SIMM memory for the printer. 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 (leaving 62 printable lines). Adjust the top and bottom margins in your document to allow for this.

Marking
If you still have the same problem and the Drum lamp
is on, replace the drum unit with a new one.
Wipe the electric terminals referring to “Cleaning the
Printer Interior and Drum Unit” in Chapter 5. Never
use heat-sensitive paper as it will cause this problem.
If the same problem occurs and the Drum lamp is still
on after cleaning, replace the drum unit with a new
one.
Make sure that the toner cartridge is not empty.
Wipe the electric terminals referring to “Cleaning
the Printer Interior and Drum Unit” in Chapter 5.
Make sure that a torn piece of paper does not
remain on the scanner window.
The problem may disappear by itself. Try printing
multiple pages to clear this problem especially if the
printer has not been used for a long time.
If the surface of the drum has been scratched, replace
the drum unit with a new one.
If the problem does not disappear, it may be that the
drum has been marked or damaged due to excessive
exposure to light. In this case, replace the drum unit
with a new one.
