True 600 dots per inch (dpi) with microfine toner and up to 10 pages per minute (ppm) printing speed (A4 or Letter paper).

□ Versatile Paper Handling

The machine has a multi-purpose sheet feeder and straight paper path mechanism. Using this mechanism, you can load A4, letter, legal, B5, A5, A6 and executive sizes of paper, and various types of paper including envelopes, 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.

Copier

You can easily copy at a comfortable speed with only one push of a button. You can also enlarge or reduce the copying size.

□ Document Management Application ‘Visioneer PaperPort® LE Software’ (MFC-P2000)

Visioneer PaperPort® LE Software is a document management application which contains a viewer, editor and filing system and various links to other applications. Visioneer PaperPort® LE Software is a sophisticated application and has widespread industry acceptance and endorsements.

☐ A Sofisticated Viewer Software ‘WordCraft Unimessage™ Viewer Software’ (HL-P2000)

WordCraft Unimessage™ Viewer is a sophisticated viewer for displaying and editing graphic files. In addition to the usual image editing functions (object drawing, annotations, highlighting, etc.) you will also be able to use this software to view both colour and monochrome images, create cover sheets for use with HL-P2000, display thumbnails of graphics files in any of your directories and set up a referencing system for your files using DIR (Document Indexing Retrieval).

□ TWAIN Compliant Scanner Driver

The scanner driver is TWAIN compliant which is a defacto standard. You can use the scanner from other TWAIN compliant applications as well as the PaperPort application or Unimessage™ viewer application.

□ Enhanced Printing Performance and User-Friendly Operation for Windows®

The dedicated printer driver and TrueType™-compatible fonts for Microsoft® Windows 95/98 and Windows 3.1 are available on the floppy disk and CD-ROM supplied with your machine. 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 choose various machine settings including toner saving mode, custom paper size, sleep mode, gray scale adjustment, resolution and so forth. You can easily set these print options through the Machine Setup Menu within the Windows Control Panel.

☐ Remote Printer Console Program for DOS

The utility program, Remote Printer Console (RPC), is available on a floppy disk supplied with your machine. When you operate your computer in the DOS (Disk Operating System) environment, this program allows you to easily change the default settings of the machine 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 machine status while running in the background and report the current status or errors on your computer screen.

○↔●
On	Print data remains in the machine memory. If the Data lamp is on for a long period of time and nothing has printed, you need to press the switch to print the remaining data.

This lamp also works as the Toner lamp with the Alarm lamp. They blink simultaneously to indicate a toner error. See “REPLACING THE TONER CARTRIDGE” in Chapter 6 and “Operator Calls” in Chapter 7.

Drum Lamp

The Drum lamp indicates the drum unit is nearly at the end of its life.

Lamp	Machine status
Off	The drum unit can be used.
○
On	The drum unit is nearly at the end of its life.Installing a new drum unit turns off this lamp. See “REPLACING THE DRUM UNIT” in Chapter 6.
●

Alarm Lamp

The Alarm lamp blinks to indicate a machine error status such as “COVER OPEN” and “MEMORY FULL.” If any other error occurs, the machine indicates the error by blinking the Alarm lamp with another lamp or by printing an error report.

Note

The Ready, Data and Drum lamps are used to indicate machine errors with the Alarm lamp. See “ALARM INDICATIONS AT A GLANCE” in Chapter 7 and take corrective action for the error.

Switch

This switch will be used for the following purpose depending on the situation.

Cancel printing

If you press the switch during printing, the machine immediately stops printing and ejects the paper.

Wake-up

If the machine is in sleep mode, pressing the switch wakes it up into the ready state.

Form Feed

If the Data lamp is on, press the switch. The machine prints any data remaining in memory: this operation is called “Form Feed.”

Error Recovery

If an error occurs, the machine will recover from some errors automatically. If the error does not clear automatically, press the switch to clear the error and continue machine operation.

Other Control Features

The machine has the following useful features:

Sleep Mode

When the machine does not receive data for a certain period of time (time-out), it enters sleep mode. Sleep mode acts as though the machine was turned off. The default time-out is 5 minutes. While the machine is in sleep mode, all the lamps are off and it is as if it was turned off, but the machine can still receive data from the computer. Receiving a print file or document automatically wakes up the machine to start printing. Pressing the switch also wakes up the machine.

Note

• When the machine goes into sleep mode, the fan will not stop until the machine engine has cooled down.
• Sleep mode allows the print engine to cool, so the temperature of your room and how long the machine has been in sleep mode affects the warm-up time. This warm-up time can take up to 30 seconds. The Ready lamp blinks to indicate that the machine 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 6 MAINTENANCE

REPLACING THE TONER CARTRIDGE

The machine can print approximately 2,400 pages (5% coverage: A4/Letter) with one toner cartridge. When the toner cartridge is running low, the Alarm and Data (Toner) lamps blink once every 5 seconds to indicate toner low. Initially, some models are supplied with a starter toner cartridge which must be replaced after 1,000 pages.

Note

• Actual page count will vary depending on your average document type. (i.e.: standard letter, detailed graphics, etc.)
• It is recommended that you always keep a new toner cartridge ready for use for when you get the toner low warning.
• Discard the used toner cartridge according to local regulations. If you are not sure of them, consult your local dealer. Be sure to seal up the toner cartridge tightly so that toner powder does not spill out of the cartridge. Do not discard used toner cartridges together with domestic rubbish.
• It is recommended that you clean the machine when you replace the toner cartridge. See “CLEANING THE MACHINE” in this chapter.

Drum Alarm Ready Paper Data Toner

Fig. 6-1 Toner Low and Empty Indication

Caution

You may print approximately 100 pages after the first toner low indication. Both Alarm and Data (Toner) lamps will blink continuously to indicate that the toner is empty. Once this indication appears, your machine cannot resume printing until you have installed a new toner cartridge.

Caution

Keep the drum unit level after removing the toner cartridge, to avoid possible toner spill or scatter.

Follow these steps to replace the toner cartridge:

1. Open the top cover towards you. Remove the drum unit by holding each side of the drum and gently lifting the drum forwards towards you.

The machine uses a drum unit to create the print images on paper. If the Drum lamp is on, it indicates the drum unit is nearly at the end of its life. We recommend you prepare a new drum unit to replace the current one. Even if the Drum lamp is on, you may be able to continue to print without replacing the drum unit for a while. If there is a noticeable deterioration in the output print quality even before the Drum lamp lights, then the drum unit should be replaced.

Drum Alarm Ready Paper Data Toner

Fig. 6-11 Drum Unit Nearly at the End of its Life

Caution

• When removing the drum unit, handle it carefully as it contains toner.
• You should clean the machine when you replace the drum unit. See “CLEANING THE MACHINE” 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 use the product in a clean, dust-free environment with adequate ventilation.

Follow these steps to replace the drum unit:

1. Open the top cover towards you. Remove the old drum unit.

The machine does not work. All lamps are off.	The machine may be in sleep mode. Press the panel switch to wake up the machine. Check to see if the machine is plugged into a live power source and the power switch is on.
The machine does not print.	Check the following:• The machine is turned on.• All of the protective parts have been removed.• The toner cartridge and drum unit are installed properly.• The interface cable is securely connected between the machine and computer.• Check to see if the Alarm lamp is blinking. If the lamp is blinking, refer to the Operator Call section of this manual.• Check to see if the Ready lamp is blinking. If the lamp is blinking fast, the machine might be cooling down to lower the machines internal temperature. Open the top cover of the machine to lower the temperature.

Setting Up the Machine for Windows

Question	Recommendation
I cannot print from my application software.	Make sure the supplied Windows printer driver is installed and selected with your application software.
Sometimes I get a Memory Full message. How can I correct this?	Reduce the print resolution or reduce the complexity of your document and try again.
Sometimes I get a Print Overrun error when printing certain documents from Windows.	• If you are using the supplied Windows driver, turn error recovery on in the Setup dialog box and try again.Reduce the print resolution or reduce the complexity of your document and try again.

Setting Up the Machine for DOS

Question	Recommendation
I cannot print from my application software.	Check if the DOS application software interface settings match that of your machine: for example, if you are using a parallel printer cable, you would most likely set your DOS software printer port to LPT1.Check if the machine has any alarms active. Check if the appropriate printer is selected in your application software.
The machine 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 machine emulation setting and the machines emulation do not match. Check in your application software which printer you have selected to make sure the machine is set up correctly. Remember the machine emulates three widely used printer selections: HP LaserJet IIP, Epson FX-850, and IBM Proprinter XL. Try setting the printer into HP emulation and then select the HP LaserJet IIP printer in your application software.
The machine does not print when I press the Print Screen Key. (Data lamp On)	Press the panel switch. The data has been sent to the machine but the machine did not receive the Page Eject command: print screens do not send this command.
The machine prints the first part of my document but does not print the last page. (Data lamp On)	This was a common problem with database software and spreadsheet software when not correctly set up. The data has been sent to the machine but the machine 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.
How can I change the User settings or default settings of the machine?	Use the remote printer console (RPC) program.

Paper Handling

Question	Recommendation
The machine does not load paper.	Check to see if the “PAPER EMPTY” message appears on your computer screen or the Alarm and Paper lamps are blinking on the machine 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.
How can I load envelopes?	You can load envelopes from either the multi-purpose 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.
What paper can I use?	You can use plain paper, envelopes, transparencies, labels, and organizer paper. For information on loading paper, see “Paper Handling” in Chapter 2.
How can I clear paper jams?	See “PAPER JAMS” in this chapter.

Printing

Question	Recommendation
The machine prints unexpectedly or it prints garbage.	Turn the machine off and on again to reset the machine.Make sure your application software is correctly set up to use this machine by checking the machine settings in your application software.Check the machine 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 Machine Control Panel.
The machine cannot print full pages of a document. An error message “PRINT OVERRUN” occurs.	The machine 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 or Windows 3.1 with the supplied printer driver, see the “Setting up the Machine for Windows” section.Try to reduce the complexity of your document or reduce the print resolution.
The machine cannot print full pages of a document. A "MEMORY FULL" error message occurs.	Reduce the graphic quality or the number of font sizes within your application software.Reduce the print resolution.Reduce the complexity of your document and try again.
The machine cannot print full pages of a document. A "MEMORY FULL" error message occurs.	Reduce the print resolution.Reduce the complexity of your document and try again.Reduce the graphic quality or the number of font sizes within your application software.
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 (leaving 62 printable lines). Adjust the top and bottom margins in your document to allow for this.

Copy

IMPORTANT - For Your Safety

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

Extension cords used with the equipment must be 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.

Disconnect device

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

Geräuschemission / Acoustic Noise Emission (For Germany Only)

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

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 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 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 coloured in accordance 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 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.
