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 EARTHED

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

GREEN AND YELLOW : EARTH

BLUE : NEUTRAL

BROWN : LIVE

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.

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.

Features

This printer has the following standard features. When you need more information on how to use a particular feature, turn to the page indicated at the end of the paragraph.

High Speed and Quiet Laser Printing

This printer uses electrophotography technology by laser beam scanning so that it can print A4 size paper at a speed of up to 20 pages per minute or letter size paper at up to 21 pages per minute. The controller utilizes a high speed 32-bit RISC microprocessor and special hardware chips. The quiet printing will not bother you working in your office or at home: max. 55 dB A (printing)/40 dB A (stand-by) or 52 dB A (printing)/45 dB A (stand-by).

1,200 DPI Resolution

This printer uses a print engine with a resolution of 1,200 dots per inch (dpi). Compared with a 300-dpi engine, the quality of the output is far superior. See page 4-31. By utilizing the 300-dpi mode, the printer can also print 300-dpi data, if necessary. (In HP emulation you can select a horizontal 1200-dpi mode by special control command. See page Appendix-54.)

High Resolution Control

The high resolution control (HRC) technology provides clear and crisp printouts. See 4-34.

Maintenance-Free Toner Cartridge

The toner cartridge can print up to 9,000 single-sided pages at 5% coverage. The one piece, easy-to-replace toner cartridge does not require difficult maintenance. Just install it. See 2-7.

Advanced Photoscale Technology

This printer can print graphics in 256 shades of gray in HP® LaserJet 5^TM emulation and BR-Script level 2, producing nearly photographic quality.

Manual Loading

This printer loads paper automatically from the paper cassette. Even envelopes can be loaded from the multi-purpose tray and the upper paper cassette. In addition, the multi-purpose tray allows you to load paper sheet by sheet. See 3-15 for auto loading and manual loading.

Four Interfaces

This printer has a high speed bi-directional parallel interface, an RS-232C serial interface, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) and a modular input/output (MIO) compatible interface.

If your application software supports the bi-directional parallel interface, you can monitor the printer status. It is fully compatible with the industry-standard bi-directional parallel interface. See page 2-15.

The RS-232C serial interface is an industry standard so that you can connect it to any computer using a standard serial cable. See page 2-15.

The Universal Serial Bus is an interface which allows the printer to be connected with multiple peripheral devices. (Window 98 only)

The MIO interface allows you to install a commercial MIO-compatible card. If you install the card, you can use one more interface port for features such as networking or printer sharing. See page 5-7.

Automatic Interface Selection

This printer can automatically select the bi-directional parallel, RS-232C serial, Universal Serial Bus, or MIO interface depending on the interface port through which it receives data. With this feature, the printer can be connected to more than one computer. See page 3-5.

Five Emulation Modes

This printer can emulate the Hewlett-Packard® laser printer-LaserJet 5 (PCL® 6), PostScript® Level 2 language emulation (Brother BR-Script Level 2) printers, the industry-standard HP-GL™ plotter as well as EPSON® FX-850™, and IBM® Proprinter XL® printers. You can print with all application programs that support one of these printers. See page 3-1.

Automatic Emulation Selection

This printer can automatically select the printer emulation mode depending on the print commands it receives from the computer software. With this feature, many users can share the printer on a network. See page 3-3.

Data Compression Technology

This printer can internally compress the received graphics and font data in its memory so that it can print larger graphics and more fonts without additional memory.

Memory Expansion

This printer has 8-Mbytes of RAM as standard. It can be expanded up to 72 Mbytes When you select duplex mode with an optional duplex unit installed, the memory should be expanded to 10Mbytes in total or more to enjoy 600-dpi duplex printing.

Connecting the Printer to Your Computer

This printer has a bi-directional parallel interface, an RS-232C serial interface, and a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface. They allow the printer to communicate with IBM/PC® or compatible computers. Before connecting the printer and computer, you need to purchase or make a connecting cable specifically for the interface to be used. See "INTERFACE SPECIFICATIONS" in Appendix.

Since the automatic interface selection mode has been factory set, simply connect the interface cable to the printer. In some cases, you need to turn off the high-speed and bi-directional parallel communications with the MODE switch. For further information, see "MODE Switch" in Chapter 4.

When you use the serial interface, you need to have the same communications settings on both the printer and computer. Since the automatic interface selection mode has been factory set with certain factory settings (baud rate = 9600, code type = 8 bits, parity = none, stop bit = 1, Xon/Xoff = ON, DTR (ER) = ON, and Robust Xon = ON), you may simply connect the interface cable if these are the same as the settings on your computer. When necessary, set the communications parameters with the MODE switch on the printer. For further information, see "MODE Switch" in Chapter 4. For the settings on the computer, see the manual of the computer or software you use.

Connect the printer to your computer as follows:

1. Make sure that both the computer and the printer are turned off.

Caution

• Always turn off the printer and computer when connecting and disconnecting the cable.

• When connecting and disconnecting the cable from the Universal Serial Bus interface, however, it is not necessary to turn off the printer and computer.

• Connect one end of the interface cable to the interface connector located on the back of the printer.

• Secure the connection with wire clips or screws on the printer.

CHAPTER 3

BEFORE WORKING WITH THE PRINTER

SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY

Before working with your application software, you need to set up or install the printer driver in your software. Locate the printers that your application software supports and install the desired printer driver. Each software package differs in the way the printer driver is selected. Read the software manual and follow the setup or installation procedures.

Be sure to select the printer emulation mode that matches the installed printer driver. This printer emulates particular printer models of the following manufacturers. Since this printer has been factory set with the automatic emulation selection on, you may not need to select the emulation mode. When necessary, select the appropriate printer emulation mode with the panel switches according to the printer driver installed in your application software. See "CHAPTER 4 CONTROL PANEL."

Printer Driver	Emulation Mode
HL 2060	HP LaserJet 5
HL 1660/1660e	HP LaserJet 5

* EPSON FX-850	EPSON FX-850
EPSON FX-80TM	EPSON FX-850
* IBM Proprinter XL	IBM Proprinter XL
IBM Proprinter®	IBM Proprinter XL

To get the most out of this printer, you need to install the printer driver for this printer or the HP LaserJet and select the HP LaserJet emulation mode: this is the best combination. When any other HP LaserJet series printer driver is installed, select the HP LaserJet emulation mode. When any other printer driver is installed, select the HP-GL, BR-Script 2, EPSON, or IBM emulation mode according to the installed printer driver. You may find difficulty in printing EPS file format pictures with the HP LaserJet mode. In this case, it is better to select the BR-Script 2 mode.

An asterisk (*) indicates the best or recommended combination of the printer driver and emulation mode. Be sure to use any of these best or recommended combinations if circumstances permit. When an emulation mode other than the HP mode or BR-Script 2 is selected, the printout may differ slightly from the printout that the target printer produces.

For Windows 95/98/NT 4.0 or Windows 3.1 users, to get the best performance from your printer, install the driver supplied with your printer.

AUTOMATIC EMULATION SELECTION

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 LaserJet	HP LaserJet
	BR-Script 2	BR-Script 2
	HP-GL	HP-GL
	EPSON FX-850	IBM Proprinter XL

To get the most out of this laser printer, we recommend you use the HP LaserJet emulation mode, which is a true laser printer mode. Since the HP LaserJet mode takes the highest priority in the automatic emulation selection, you can start using the printer as it is with the factory settings in most cases.

When the automatic emulation selection is active, you can check the current emulation on the display. When the printer is in ready, print, or wait states, the display reads as follows:

Emulation	Status Display in Ready State
HP LaserJet	LJ	READY	001P	T1
BR-Script 2	BS	IDLE	001P	T1
HP-GL	GL	READY	001P	T1
EPSON FX-850	FX	READY	001P	T1
IBM Proprinter XL	PR	READY	001P	T1

To select the emulation mode manually, use the EMULATION switch. For further information, see "EMULATION Switch" in Chapter 4.

Note

When you use the automatic emulation selection, note the following:

• Once the emulation is automatically changed, it is not changed again for a short period of time. This time period is called "Time Out" and it can be set with the EMULATION switch. The factory setting is 5 seconds.
• The EPSON or IBM emulation mode priority must be selected, as the printer cannot distinguish between them. Since the factory setting is the EPSON emulation mode, you might need to select the IBM emulation mode with the EMULATION switch when you need to use this emulation.
• Try this function with your application software or network server. If the function does not work properly, select the required emulation mode manually using the printer panel switches or use emulation selection commands from your software.

AUTOMATIC INTERFACE SELECTION

This printer has an automatic interface selection function. When the printer receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the bidirectional parallel, Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface, RS-232C serial interface or MIO interface as appropriate.

When you use the parallel interface, you can turn the high-speed and bidirectional parallel communications on or off with the MODE switch. For further information, see "MODE Switch" in Chapter 4. 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 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 commercial interface card has been installed in the MIO card slot, it can be selected automatically.

When necessary, select the interface or the serial communications parameters manually with the MODE switch (INTERFACE MODE) on the printer. For further information, see "MODE Switch" in Chapter 4. For the settings on the computer, see the manual of the computer or software you are using.

Note

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

• Once the interface is automatically changed, it is not changed again for a short period of time. This time period is called "Time Out" and it can be set with the MODE switch. The factory setting is 5 seconds.
• The communications parameters [ baud rate, code type, parity, stop bit, Xon/Xoff, DTR(ER), and Robust Xon] must be set for the serial interface. Although they have been factory set as shown in the above table, you may need to change them with the MODE switch.
• This function takes a few seconds to work. If you want to speed up printing, select the required interface manually with the MODE switch.

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

ABOUT THE CONTROL PANEL

Selecting the Local Language Display

The display usually shows the current printer status. When you operate the control panel switches, it shows functions and settings. If any problems occur, it shows the corresponding error message. You can see these messages in several languages. The default language is English.

• English

• German

• Spanish

Norwegian

• Danish

• French

Dutch

Italian

• Finnish

• Portuguese

To change to another language:

1. Turn off the printer.
2. Hold down the FORM FEED switch and turn on the printer.

The message "SELF TEST" appears and then the message changes to "LANG.=ENGLISH *".

1. Press the or switch until your desired language appears on the display.
2. Press the SET switch to make the selected language message effective.

An asterisk (*) appears at the end of the display for a short time, and then the printer automatically returns to on-line state with the selected language message on the display.

Turning the Maintenance Message Off

This printer periodically prompts you to replace parts to enjoy high quality and reliable printing jobs.

Turning the messages off:

You can turn these messages off by taking the following steps.

1. Turn on the printer with pressing the "FORM FEED" key.
2. Choose "MAINTENANCE" with the key and press the SET key.
3. Choose "MAINTENANCE = OFF" with the key and press the SET key.

Using the Panel Switches

The printer has a versatile control panel. It has two operation modes:

When you press the switches, they work in the NORMAL mode as indicated above the switches. When you press the switches with the SHIFT switch held down, they work in the SHIFT mode as indicated below the switches. You can control the basic printer operations and make various printer settings in the NORMAL and SHIFT modes.

For further information, see "SWITCHES IN NORMAL MODE" and "SWITCHES IN SHIFT MODE" in Chapter 4.

Fig. 3-1 Switch Operation in NORMAL and SHIFT Modes

Note

When the printer is in use in the BR-Script 2 mode, some switches are not used.

Printer Settings

You may operate the printer with the panel switch settings unchanged. They have been factory set. When necessary, change and store them in the printer memory as user settings.

There are two types of printer settings available on this printer:

1. User Settings
2. Factory Settings

Remember that the user settings override the factory settings. The user settings are effective until other settings are made or they are restored to the factory settings.

User Settings

Although the printer settings have been factory set, you can change them with the control panel switches. Since this printer has a memory, you can store the panel switch settings in the memory as "User Settings." They are recalled every time you turn on the printer.

In addition to the current settings, you can save two more sets of user settings with the MODE switch and restore to them with the RESET switch. The current settings are cleared after restoring one of the saved user settings.

Factory Settings

The printer settings have been set at the factory before shipment. They are called "Factory Settings." Although you can operate the printer with these factory settings unchanged, you can tailor the printer by making user settings.

Note

Changing the user settings does not affect factory settings. You cannot modify the preset factory settings.

The changed user settings can be restored to the factory default settings with the RESET switch. For further information, see "RESET Switch" in Chapter 4.

Using Envelopes

Avoid using envelopes with the following characteristics:

• Smooth or shiny surfaces
• Protection cover at envelopes' adhesive parts
• Sealing flaps that have not been folded at purchase
• Sealing flaps as shown below

• Three or more layers of paper in the marked area

Each side folded as shown below

Fig. 3-2 Envelope Information

Before loading envelopes in the cassette, check the following:

• Envelopes should have a lengthwise sealing flap.
• The sealing flaps should be crisply and correctly folded (irregularly cut or folded envelopes may cause paper jams).
• Envelopes should consist of two layers of paper in the following marked area.

Fig. 3-3 Envelopes

Note

If envelopes get smudged during printing, set the print density to a higher value in the ADVANCED MODE with MODE switch for darker printouts. To adjust the print density setting, see "Checking the Printed Test Pattern or Demo Page" in Chapter 2.

• Envelope joints that are sealed by the manufacturer should be secure.
• All sides should be properly folded without any wrinkles or creases.

Cassette Feed

The printer can feed paper from the multi-purpose tray, the upper cassette and the optional lower paper cassette. You can select the multi-purpose tray as a paper cassette with the FEEDER switch. Since the auto paper feed mode has been factory set, the printer usually feeds paper from the upper paper cassette. When the optional lower paper cassette is installed and the upper paper cassette runs out of paper, the printer automatically switches to the lower paper cassette. When the lower paper cassette runs out of paper or it is not installed, the printer automatically switches to the multi-purpose tray (T1 > T2 > MP) and feeds from there as long as they contain paper of the same size. When necessary, select the feeder with the FEEDER switch. For further information, see "FEEDER Switch" in Chapter 4. For information about the lower paper cassette, see "LOWER TRAY UNIT" in Chapter 5.

Note

When you load paper into the multi-purpose tray or the paper cassette, note the following:

• If you use the multi-purpose tray, the paper size has to be manually set in the MP TRAY SETTING mode with the FEEDER switch.
• 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 with the MODE switch.
• The paper size has been factory set to letter for 110/120V models or A4 for 220/240V models. If you want to use other sizes of paper or envelopes, change the paper size in the PAGE FORMAT MODE of the FORMAT MODE with the MODE switch. For paper size selection, see "MODE Switch" 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 down and the top of the paper to the front of the cassette. If you use pre-printed paper in the multi-purpose tray, the paper should be loaded with the printed side face up and the top of the paper towards the printer.

You can set the paper size for the paper cassette with the MODE switch in the PAGE FORMAT mode. The printer automatically detects the paper size you set in the paper cassette. If you load a different size of paper in the paper cassette from the size selected with the MODE switch or through your application software, the printer prompts you to set the proper size of paper as follows:

( * * ) indicates the paper size you have selected with the MODE switch in the PAGE FORMAT mode or through your application software.)

Fig. 3-4 Cassette Feed

Manual Feed

When you set paper in the multi-purpose tray with the setting MANUAL FEED = ON selected with the FEEDER switch, the printer loads paper only from the multi-purpose tray regardless of the previous feeder selection. When you select the setting PAPER IN = CONT in the MP TRAY SETTING mode, the printer loads paper automatically from the multi-purpose tray. When you select the setting PAPER IN = STOP, the printer waits for you to press the SEL key to start printing. You can set the paper feed mode and the paper size with the FEEDER switch. For further information, see "FEEDER Switch" in Chapter 4.

Note

When you feed paper manually, note the following:

• If your application software supports a manual feed selection in the print menu, you can select it through the software. Since the software or command setting overrides the switch setting, you do not need to set the manual feed mode and the paper size with the FEEDER switch.
• If you use pre-printed paper in the multipurpose tray, please note that it is inserted with the pre-printed side face up. Insert the top of the page towards the printer in the multi-purpose tray.

Face Down Print Delivery

The printer normally ejects paper onto the top of the printer with the printed page face down.

Fig. 3-5 Face Down Print Delivery

Face Up Print Delivery

You can change the print delivery path from the top to the rear of the printer. Push down the knob located inside the rear paper slit on the left of the paper path selector guide.

Fig. 3-6 Face Up Print Delivery

The printer ejects paper through the rear paper slit with the printed page face up.

Note

After you have finished face up print delivery, be sure to reset the knob to switch back to the face down print delivery.

CHAPTER 4 CONTROL PANEL

DISPLAY AND LAMPS

This printer has one liquid crystal display (LCD) and five lamps on the control panel. The display can show various messages with up to 16 characters. The lamps light to indicate the current printer status.

Fig. 4-1 Display and Lamps

Note

The factory settings are printed in bold in this section.

SEL Switch

Pressing the SEL switch changes the state of the printer between on-line and off-line. When the printer is on-line, the ON LINE lamp lights and the printer is ready to receive data from the computer. When the printer is off-line, the ON LINE lamp is off.

To receive data from the computer, set the printer on-line. To operate the control panel switches, set the printer off-line.

When you press the SEL switch when the printer is the on-line state, it turns off-line and the LCD displays the current emulation mode.

AUTO LaserJet 5

You can enter other emulations in the auto emulation mode by pressing the (UP) or (DOWN) switch.

Notes

When you press the SEL switch, remember the following:

• All other switches—except the SEL switch—are operational only when the printer is off-line.
• If the printer is not in auto emulation mode, the LCD displays the current emulation by pressing the SEL key to take it off-line, but you cannot enter other emulation modes. To make settings in other emulation modes, press the EMULATION switch and select the emulation.
• The SEL switch works as a "quick exit" switch. If you are lost in the display menus or you want to quickly exit the display menu, press the SEL switch. You can exit quickly from any depth of the display menu to the on-line ready state. If you have already made a setting effective by pressing the SET switch and then press the SEL switch to quickly exit, your setting (whether made by accident or on purpose) will remain effective. Pressing the SEL switch will not cancel any setting.

SET Switch

Pressing the SET switch allows you to select certain items on the display or make the displayed menu or setting effective. The switch also works as an execute switch to perform the displayed function.

When you press the SET switch, the printer stores the settings you have selected into the memory as "User Settings." Every time you turn on the printer, it is reset according to these user settings. They remain effective until you make new settings or restore them to the factory settings. For factory reset, see "RESET Switch" in this chapter.

Note

When you press the SET switch to select a setting, an asterisk appears at the end of display for a short time. Since the asterisk indicates the selection, you can easily find the current setting when you scroll through the display.

(UP) or (DOWN) Switch

Pressing (UP) or (DOWN) switch scrolls the menus and settings forward or backward respectively on the display. Press or keep pressing the switch until you access the desired item.

MODE Switch

Pressing the MODE switch allows you to enter modes where you change settings. The mode menus and settings vary according to the current emulation mode and options. For details, refer to the pages indicated in parentheses.

BI-DIR=ON	Turns on or off the bi-directional parallel communications.

The above high-speed and bi-directional settings are used for the bi-directional parallel interface of this printer. The bi-directional parallel interface is compatible with the IEEE 1284 standard bi-directional parallel interface. Although it uses the same cable, hardware, and software as the bi-directional parallel interface, to use its enhanced capabilities—such as bi-directional communication between the computer and printer and faster transmission of data—you need a printer driver or software that supports these features. Check with your software vendor to see if your software supports bi-directional parallel features.

Serial Interface

When you intend to use the serial interface, be sure to select the same communications parameters on both the printer and computer. You must set them for the automatic interface selection, too.

PAGE FORMAT MODE

Notes

The settings in this mode menu vary as follows:

• All settings are effective in the HP LaserJet, EPSON FX-850, and IBM Proprinter XL modes.
• The X and Y (vertical and horizontal) offsets are effective in the BR-Script 2 mode. Other settings are not effective and they do not appear in this mode.
• The paper size and the X and Y (vertical and horizontal) offsets are effective in the HP-GL mode. Other settings are not effective and they do not appear in this mode.

The following settings can be made in this mode:

Display Message		Page Format Mode
PAPER	=LETTER	Set cut sheet paper size to letter, A4, legal, B5, A5, B6, A6, or executive, or envelope size to COM10, Monarch, C5, or DL.
LEFT M	= 0C P	Set the left margin at column 0-126 at 10cpi.
RIGHT M	= 80C P	Set the right margin at column 10-136 at 10cpi. See “List of Factory Settings” in this chapter.
TOP M	=0.5" P	Set the top margin at a distance from the top edge of the paper: 0, 0.33, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 inches. factory setting = 0.33 (Non-HP), 0.5 (HP)
BOTTOM M=0.5" P		Set the bottom margin at a distance from the bottom edge of the paper: 0, 0.33, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 inches. factory setting = 0.33 (Non-HP), 0.5 (HP)
LINES	= 60L P	Set the number of lines per page from 5 to 128 lines. See “List of Factory Settings” in this chapter.

The letter "P" in the display messages indicates that the page orientation is portrait. The letter "L" is displayed when it is landscape.

Display Message		Page Format Mode (Continued)
X OFFSET=	0	Move the print start position (at the upper left corner on pages) horizontally up to -500 dots to the left or +500 dots to the right in 300dpi dot unit increments: factory setting = 0.
Y OFFSET=	0	Move the print start position (at the upper left corner on pages) vertically up to -500 dots downward or +500 dots upward in 300dpi dot increments: factory setting = 0.

Note

When you make settings in PAGE FORMAT MODE, note the following:

• The letter size has been factory set for 110/120V model. The A4 size has been factory set for 220/240V model.
• When you use a smaller size of paper than that specified in the PAGE FORMAT MODE, be sure that the print area is smaller than the paper size, or the inside of the printer will get stained with toner. It is recommended that you perform a test before actual use: for this test, you could use a letter or A4 size of paper to see the printed area is completely inside the paper size you are going to use. This simple test will help prevent toner from being incorrectly applied to the inside of your printer, which may cause later print jobs to be smudged with toner.
• The factory settings of the right/left margins and lines vary according to the paper size and orientation. See the tables below.
• The top and bottom margins have been factory set to 0.5" in the HP emulation mode and to 0.33" in the non-HP emulation modes.
• The setting margins are subject to the current page orientation. The display shows the current orientation with "P" for portrait and "L" for landscape.
• Images offset outside the print area are not printed.

■ About Right and Left Margins

The settings range of the right and left margins are subject to the page orientation as follows. The right margin should be placed 10 columns greater than the left margin: minimum text width = 10 columns.

If the orientation is changed, the margin settings are restored to the factory settings. If the paper size is changed and the right and left margins exceed the paper size, they are restored to the factory settings: if they do not exceed the paper size, they remain effective.

The following table shows the settings range in columns. The factory settings are printed in bold.

Paper Size	Portrait		Landscape
	Left Margin	Right Margin	Left Margin	Right Margin
Letter	0-70	10-80	0-96	10-106
Legal	0-70	10-80	0-126	10-136
A4	0-70	10-78-80	0-103	10-113

About Line Settings

Setting the number of lines/page automatically sets the line spacing or line feed pitch. If the paper size is changed, the number of lines/page changes accordingly. The new setting is calculated with the following expression and the remainder, if any, is ignored. However, the line feed pitch and the top and bottom margins remain effective.

$$ # \text {o f L i n e s / P a g e} = \frac {\text {P a g e L e n g t h} - (\text {T o p M a r g i n} + \text {B o t t o m M a r g i n})}{\text {L i n e F e e d P i t c h} [ \text {V e r t i c a l M o t i o n I n d e x (V M I)} ]} $$

The setting of lines/page is subject to the current paper size and orientation. For example, when letter-sized paper is used, the printer can print 60 lines per page in portrait orientation. If the orientation is changed, the line settings are restored to the factory settings in that orientation.

The following tables show the factory settings in each emulation mode.

In HP Mode

Size	Orientation
	Portrait	Landscape
Letter	60 lines	45 lines
Legal	78 lines	45 lines
A4	64 lines	43 lines

In Non-HP Modes

Size	Orientation
	Portrait	Landscape
Letter	62 lines	47 lines
Legal	80 lines	47 lines
A4	66 lines	45 lines

Note

When you use application software in the non-HP modes, the recommended settings are as follows:

• Left margin = column 0
• Right margin = Max. value
• Auto MASK ON

GRAPHICS MODE

Note

The settings in this mode menu are effective only in the HP-GL mode. They do not appear in any other emulation modes.

600 dpi	Not recommended	For optimum print quality	For mixing 600 dpi bitmaps with 1200 dpi. For optimum print quality
1200 dpi	Not recommended	Not recommended	For optimum print quality

Note

Even if you set the resolution to more than 300 dpi in this mode, the printer may not be able to print large files at your selected resolution because of insufficient memory. However, it automatically decreases the higher resolution that you set to 300 dpi to print them. While the printer is printing, the display prompts "01 PR300 ..."

If the printer cannot print files even at 300 dpi, the “MEMORY FULL” error occurs. See “TROUBLESHOOTING” in Chapter 7.

This automatic resolution decrease function works in the BR-Script 2 mode and other emulation modes with the page protection on. See also "PAGE PROTECTION" in this chapter.

When you want to print without decreasing the resolution, you must expand the memory capacity of the printer.

Expand the memory capacity referring to the table below. It shows the minimum size of memory required in the BR-Script 2 mode.

This message prompts you to press the SET switch again so that the printer exits from the data reception status when you finish sending data.

Send data from your computer.

Note

When you send data to be saved on the card, it is temporarily stored in the RAM of the printer. Note the following:

• If the received data exceeds the RAM capacity, a memory full error occurs. You can clear this error with the CONTINUE switch. When this error occurs, only part of the image has been stored in RAM, therefore, you cannot save the data to the card.
• The printer is reset to ensure as much capacity as possible in RAM. If any data remains, it is printed out first.

After you have finished sending data, press the SET switch again, so that the printer exits from the data reception status.

When you exit from the data reception status, you see the following message on the display:

DATA ID = # # # # #

Select the data ID with the or switch and press the SET switch. The printer will then save the received data with the ID on the card.

Note

• When you see an asterisk on the display, the ID number has been used for other data or a macro. If you select the used ID number, the old data or macro is erased and replaced with the new data.
• Once the data is saved, you can execute it with "EXECUTE DATA" or with a data execution command.

• The data saved in the SAVE DATA mode can not be run with the macro execution command in HP LaserJet emulation.

• Save Macro

Note

The "SAVE MACRO" menu appears only in the HP LaserJet emulation mode.

If you have downloaded a macro in the printer's memory, you can save the macro on the installed flash memory card or HDD card.

If a macro has been downloaded in the printer's memory and you press the SET switch at "SAVE MACRO," the printer prompts you to select the ID of the macro.

Select the ID with the or switch and press the SET switch again, so that the printer saves the macro with the selected ID.

Note

When you see an asterisk on the display, the ID number has been used for another macro or data. If you select the used ID number, the old macro or data is erased and replaced with the new macro.

You can execute a macro with the macro execution command.

• Primary Font or Secondary Font

Note

The "PRIMARY FONT" and "SECONDARY FONT" menus appear only in the HP LaserJet emulation mode.

If you have selected the primary or secondary font with the FONT switch, you can save the font on the installed flash memory card or HDD card.

When you press the SET switch at "PRIMARY FONT" or "SECONDARY FONT," the printer prompts you to select the ID of the font.

FONT ID = ##

Select the ID with the or switch and press the SET switch again, so that the printer saves the font with the selected ID.

Note

When you see an asterisk on the display, the ID number has been used for another font. If you select the used ID number, the old font is erased and replaced with the new one.

Whatever font you have selected with the FONT switch, the printer saves the font as a bitmapped font as long as the print size is no more than 24 points, so that the printer can print it faster than when they are not saved. It is recommended that you save the scalable font you frequently use for faster printing.

Since the flash memory card or the HDD card is in the card slot of the printer and fonts stored in the card behave in the same way as they would if they were in a dedicated Font Card, you can select the saved fonts as "CARD1 FONT" or "CARD2 FONT" with the FONT switch or the font selection command from your software. For font selection, see "FONT Switch" in Chapter 4.

You can check the saved fonts by printing the list of fonts with the TEST switch. See "TEST Switch" in Chapter 4.

Note

When you save the primary or secondary font, note the following:

• The font is temporarily stored in the RAM of the printer before it is saved on the card. If the font data exceeds the RAM capacity, a memory full error occurs. You can clear this error with the CONTINUE switch. As not all the font data has been stored in RAM, you cannot save the font to the card. When the font data is saved, the printer is reset to ensure as much capacity as possible in RAM. If any data remains, it is printed out.

• If you have saved the font at 600 or 1200 dpi resolution, the printer cannot print the font at 300 dpi.

• Download Font

Note

• The "DOWNLOAD FONT" menu appears only in the HP LaserJet emulation mode.
• Be sure to print out the list of download fonts with the TEST switch and check the download font ID on the list before you enter this menu. You need to select the font in this menu with the same number you see on the list.

If you have downloaded a font into the printer memory, you can save it on the flash memory card or the HDD card.

The printer prompts you to select the download font ID that you can find from the font list. Press the SET switch to move the cursor to the ID and select it with the or switch.

FONT ID = ##

Note

The download font IDs do not appear when fonts have not been downloaded.

After you select the download font ID, press the SET switch, so that the printer saves the selected download font. Vector or bitmapped fonts are saved in the format of the original font.

Once you save the download font in the card, you do not need to download the font every time you need it.

Since the flash memory card or the HDD card is in the slot of the printer, you can select the saved fonts as "CARD1 FONT" or "CARD2 FONT" with the FONT switch or the font selection command from your software. For font selection, see "FONT Switch" in Chapter 4.

You can check the fonts saved on the card by printing the list of fonts with the TEST switch. See "TEST Switch" in Chapter 4.

Note

When the fonts on the HDD card are selected in a print job, they are copied into the printer RAM. It may tend to cause the printer memory full error because those fonts occupy some RAM space. It is recommended to install optional SIMM to use the downloaded fonts on the HDD card.

Delete

Change the number with the or switch and move to the next digit with the SET switch. After you finish entering your 3-digit pass number, the panel switches are locked or unlocked.

Note

Do not forget your pass number that you have used to lock the panel switches. If you enter a wrong number, you cannot unlock them. The display shows the following message:

INCORRECT!!

Auto Form Feed

If unprinted data remains in the printer's memory, the DATA lamp stays on. You need to print out the remaining data with the FORM FEED switch. See "FORM FEED Switch" in Chapter 4.

The auto form feed you can set in this mode menu allows you to print out the remaining data without pressing the FORM FEED switch.

You can turn on or off the auto form feed in this mode menu as follows:

Display Message	Auto Form Feed
AUTO FF=OFF	Turn off the auto form feed. You need to press the FORM FEED switch every time data remains in the printer's memory. (Factory setting)
AUTO FF=ON	Turn on the auto form feed. Every time data remains in the printer's memory, the auto form feed takes place after the wait time set as below.

When you turn on the auto form feed as above, you need to set the wait time in the following sub-setting menu:

Display Message	Wait Time
WAIT TIME= 1s	Set the wait time for the auto form feed.

CONTINUE=AUTO	Select the auto error recovery mode. The printer automatically clears recoverable errors. You need not press the CONTINUE switch.

SCALABLE FONT

Note

The setting in this mode menu is effective only in the HP LaserJet mode. It does not appear in any other emulation modes.

Since this printer has many scalable fonts, some application programs may not be able to handle them correctly. When the HP LaserJet emulation mode has been selected, the printer may print a different font rather than the font you have selected with your program (or the font selection command).

To cope with this font problem, you can restrict the font selection by this command as follows:

Display Message	Scalable Font
FONT=ALL	All scalable fonts of this printer can be selected with the font selection command. (Factory Setting)
FONT=LJ	Scalable fonts of this printer other than the following can be selected with the font selection command: Atlanta, Bermuda Script, PC Brussels, Copenhagen, Germany, Portugal, Calgary, San Diego, and US Roman.

Even if you restrict the font selection as above, you can select among all the scalable fonts with the FONT switch. The setting in this mode menu merely restricts the font selection command.

PRINT DENSITY

You can increase or decrease the print density with the or switch in this mode menu as follows:

Display Message	Print Density
The more black squares, the darker the print density. The black squares indicate the density level.	The more black squares, the darker the print density. The black squares indicate the density level.
The density can be set to 15 levels.	(The Factory setting = )

INPUT BUFFER

You can increase or decrease the capacity of the input buffer with the or switch in this mode menu. A larger capacity allows the printer to receive data from the computer faster.

Display Message	Input Buffer
□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□☐	The more squares, the larger the capacity of the input buffer. The squares indicate the level of the capacity but not the size in Mbytes.
□□	The capacity can be set 15 levels.
□	(Factory setting =□□□□□□)

After you change the input buffer capacity (make sure you press SET switch), be sure to turn off the printer and then turn it on again. The setting takes effect the next time you turn on the printer.

Note

• The set capacity is not changed even if the emulation mode is changed.
• The actual capacity of the input buffer varies according to the installed RAM. If the RAM capacity is small, the input buffer capacity may not be increased.
• When you select duplex printing, it requires more memory to run duplex printing. If you set a large input buffer and the remaining memory is not enough to run duplex printing, the print speed may decrease in duplex printing, the 600 and 1200 dpi resolution may decrease to 300dpi, or the printer may automatically change duplex printing to simplex printing. In such a case, you need to install optional SIMM memory or set a smaller input buffer size in this mode.

SAVE SETTINGS

Suppose you share this printer with others who want different panel switch settings or you use the printer with different settings.

Since you can save the current settings in the printer's memory, you can easily reset the printer to your necessary settings after they are changed. For resetting the printer, see "RESET Switch" in Chapter 4.

Use the panel switches to set the configuration of the printer to your needs and then enter this mode menu to save your settings. Two sets of user settings can be saved in the printer as follows:

Display Message		User Setting
SAVE	SETTING 1	Save the current settings as No. 1 in the printer's memory.
SAVE	SETTING 2	Save the current settings as No. 2 in the printer's memory.

If you want to check the user settings, you can print out a list of the settings with the TEST switch. See "TEST Switch" in Chapter 4.

Note

No user settings have been factory set.

PAGE COUNTER

You can check the total number of printed pages with this mode. When you enter this mode, the display shows the number for a short time and automatically moves to "exit MODE" menu.

Press the SET switch to exit from the mode menus to the off-line ready state.

Note

Remember that you can exit from the mode menu any time with the SEL switch. After you make a setting effective with the SET switch, press the SEL switch. You will exit from the mode menu to the on-line ready state. The settings you have changed with the SET switch are effective after a quick exit.

FONT Switch

Pressing the FONT switch allows you to select fonts and symbol/character sets.

Note

When you use the FONT switch, note the following:

• The FONT switch is effective in the HP LaserJet, EPSON FX-850, and IBM Proprinter XL modes. However the settings are subject to the current emulation mode. Note that the FONT switch does not work in the BR-Script 2 mode.
• If the application software supports font and symbol/character set selection, you do not need to set them with the FONT switch. The software or command setting overrides the switch setting.
• If you want to use optional fonts other than the printer's resident fonts, be sure to install a font card that has your desired fonts. The printer automatically selects the font that has exactly the same or similar characteristics as those you set through the software or with a command. If the installed font card happens to have a font of similar characteristics, the printer will print with an unexpected font.
• You can store the fonts you require on a flash memory card or HDD card only in the HP LaserJet mode or BR-Script 2 mode when one is installed. See "CARD OPERATION."

FORM FEED Switch (REPRINT Switch)

The FORM FEED switch works in two ways according to the DATA lamp status.

Form Feed

When the printer is off-line and there is data remaining in the printer memory, the DATA lamp comes on. Pressing the FORM FEED switch executes a form feed and prints out the remaining data. The display may look as follows:

01 PRINT 001P T1

If you set the number of copies with the COPY switch and press the FORM FEED switch during copy printing, the printer suspends the form feed operation and the display shows the following message:

07 FF PAUSE

Pressing the SEL switch again resumes the form feed operation.

When no data remains in the printer memory and you press the FORM FEED switch, the printer ignores this switch operation and the display shows the following message:

No Data !!!

Note

If you want the printer to print out the remaining data automatically, you can set the auto form feed function with the MODE switch. See “AUTO FORMFEED” in Chapter 4.

Reprint Function

You can reprint the last print job data without sending it from the computer again. When you press the FORM FEED switch with the DATA lamp off, the printer reprints the last print job if there is sufficient memory to sore the complete job, otherwise it will reprint the last page of the job. You can use this function in order to recover printing when a paper jam has occurred.

After printing is finished, set the printer off-line and press the FORM FEED switch once, so that the printer prints reprints the last job.

The display shows the following message during reprinting:

REPRINT 1 JOB

If the printer does not have enough memory to reprint the entire job, it reprints the last page only, and the display shows the following message during reprinting:

REPRINT 1 PAGE

When you press the FORM FEED switch one or more times during reprinting, you can set the number of pages to reprint. The printer reprints the same job the number of times you press the switch.

Note

• The reprint data remains in the printer's memory until the printer is reset or the emulation, or some settings are changed. After you have reprinted confidential data, be sure to reset the printer to clear it from the printer's memory.
• If the printer cannot distinguish the job unit, it prints the last page only. You can reprint the job by using the supplied attached printer driver.
• You cannot use the reprint function in the BR-Script 2 emulation mode.

CONTINUE Switch

If there is a problem with the printer, it automatically suspends printing and goes off-line. Pressing the CONTINUE switch may ignore the error and resume printer operation.

The function of this switch varies according to the CONTINUE mode set with the MODE switch.

Since the CONTINUE mode has been factory set to MANUAL, you need to press the CONTINUE switch to recover from a printer error message.

If you set the mode to AUTO, the printer attempts to resume the operation without pressing the CONTINUE switch.

For further information, see "CONTINUE MODE" in Chapter 4.

Note

The CONTINUE switch is not a cure-all. The printer cannot recover from some errors. Take corrective action, referring to the error message. See "TROUBLESHOOTING" in Chapter 7.

You can control the basic printer operations and make various printer settings also in the SHIFT mode. Functions available in the SHIFT mode are labeled with the indications just below the panel switches.

Fig. 4-8 Switches in SHIFT Mode

Note

The factory settings are printed in bold in this section.

SHIFT Switch

When you hold the SHIFT switch down with the printer off-line, you can change settings with the panel switches in the SHIFT mode. Since the shift state is not locked, you need to hold it down and press the switch to get access to the corresponding shifted function labeled under the switch.

EMULATION Switch

This printer has been factory set with the automatic emulation selection function on. The printer can select the emulation mode automatically when it receives data from the computer.

When you want to set the emulation mode manually, hold down the SHIFT switch and press the EMULATION switch. Then you enter the setting mode where you change the emulation.

To set the emulation mode, follow these steps:

About Emulation Modes

This printer has the following emulation modes:

HP LaserJet Mode

The HP LaserJet mode (or HP mode) is the emulation mode where this printer emulates the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet laser printer. Since a large number of application software packages support this type of laser printer, your printer will operate at its optimum performance in this mode.

■ BR-Script 2 Mode

BR-Script is a Brother original page description language and it is a PostScript® language emulation interpreter. This printer supports level 2. The BR-Script interpreter of this printer can control text and graphics on pages completely and satisfactorily.

Average users do not need to know much about PostScript® language. If you want to obtain technical information about PostScript® commands, see the following commercial manuals:

• Adobe Systems Incorporated. PostScript® Language Reference Manual, 2nd Edition. Menlo Park: Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Inc., 1990.
• Adobe Systems Incorporated. PostScript® Language Program Design. Menlo Park: Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Inc., 1988.
• Adobe Systems Incorporated. PostScript® Language Reference Manual. Menlo Park: Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Inc., 1985.
• Adobe Systems Incorporated. PostScript® Language Tutorial and Cookbook. Menlo Park: Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Inc., 1985.

HP-GL Mode

The HP-GL mode is the emulation mode where this printer emulates the Hewlett-Packard plotter model HP-7475A. Since many graphics and CAD applications support this type of plotter, you can get more out of this printer working with your application software.

EPSON FX-850 and IBM Proprinter XL Mode

The EPSON FX-850 and IBM Proprinter XL modes are the emulation modes where this printer emulates the industry-standard dot matrix printers of respective manufacturers. Since most applications support these printers, you do not have to be concerned about compatibility.

ECONOMY Switch

TONER SAVE MODE

You can turn on or off the toner save mode as follows:

Display Message		Toner Save Mode
TONER	SAVE=OFF	Turn off the toner save mode. (Factory setting)
TONER	SAVE=ON	Turn on the toner save mode. The amount of toner on the paper decreases and the printed image may look light gray.

POWER SAVE MODE

You can turn on or off the power save mode as follows:

Display Message		Power Save Mode
POWER	SAVE=ON	Turn on the power save mode. The fixing assembly of the print engine is turned off after the specified time to save power. (Factory setting)
POWER	SAVE=OFF	Turn off the power save mode. The fixing assembly of the print engine is always powered on to keep its temperature at the specified level.

1. When you turn on the power save mode, the display shows the following message:

TIME OUT

1. When you press the SET switch, the display show this message:

TIME OUT=30m

You need to set the time out for the power save mode from 1 to 99 minutes with the or switch: factory setting = 30 minutes. The time out is the duration after which the fixing assembly of the print engine is turned off ("SLEEP") to save power.

When the power save mode is turned on, the printer turns on the fixing assembly again after it receives data from the computer. Since the fixing assembly must reach the specified high temperature, it takes a little longer time to start printing the first page.

FEEDER Switch

You can select the feeder, manual feed mode, or MP tray settings with the FEEDER switch, and also select the duplex printing mode if the optional duplex printing unit is installed.

Display Message	Feeder
FEEDER=AUTO	Select a feeder or auto paper feed.
MP FIRST=OFF	Turns MP first on or off.
MANUAL FEED=OFF	Turns manual feed on or off.
MP TRAY SETTING	MP tray settings
TRAY SETTING	Tray 1, Tray 2 settings
MEDIA TYPE	Select print media
DUPLEX MODE	Selects duplex printing mode (only with the duplex option installed.)

You can check the current feeder and the duplex mode on the display.

When tray 1 has been selected, the display may look as follows:

00 READY 001P T1

When the multi-purpose tray and the duplex printing mode have been selected, the display may look as follows:

00 READY 001P MP

The black square indicates that duplex printing mode is selected.

When you want to change settings with the FEEDER switch, hold down the SHIFT switch and press the FEEDER switch. You will then enter the setting mode where you change the feeder, manual feed mode, etc.

FEEDER

To select the feeder, follow these steps:

1. Press the SEL switch to set the printer off-line.
2. Hold down the SHIFT switch and press the FEEDER switch.

When you enter the setting mode, the display first shows the current feeder setting with the asterisk.

FEEDER=AUTO

1. Press the or switch until the desired feeder appears on the display.

Display Message	Paper Feed Method/Paper Source
FEEDER=AUTO	Auto paper feed
FEEDER=MP TRAY	Feed from multi-purpose tray (MP tray)
FEEDER=TRAY1	Upper paper cassette (Tray 1)
FEEDER=TRAY2	Lower paper cassette (Tray 2)

Note

When you select a feeder, note the following:

• The "FEEDER=TRAY2" message appears only when the optional lower tray unit has been installed.
• The FEEDER=AUTO setting allows you to optimize your printing environment. This setting allows a print job to continue uninterrupted when a paper out condition occurs. The default setting is AUTO. This setting allows a common printing situation: Loading the same size and type of paper in all paper trays. This allows your print job to continue without error if one of the paper trays becomes empty. The printer will automatically select another tray if one tray becomes empty.
• When you select the FEEDER=AUTO, the printer automatically searches for the paper size you set with the MODE switch in the PAGE FORMAT mode and loads the paper from the paper source that contains the selected size of paper. If all of the upper and lower paper cassettes and the multi-purpose tray contain different sizes of paper and one paper cassette runs out of paper, the printer stops printing without automatically changing to the other paper source to feed paper. It prevents a different size of paper from being printed by mistake.

• If you have the same size of paper loaded but of different type (i.e.: FORM "A" in Tray 1, Form "B" in Multi-purpose Tray) it is recommended to change the feeder setting from AUTO to Tray 1. This setting will allow the printer to pause when a paper empty condition occurs, allowing you to load the correct type of paper, then press SEL to finish to print job.

• Press the SET switch to make the displayed selection effective.

When you select "MP TRAY", "TRAY1," or "TRAY2," an asterisk appears at the end of the display for a short time. Then the "exit" message appears on the display. Press the SET switch again, so that the printer exits from the setting mode to the off-line state.

When you select "AUTO", the tray selection menu for the auto paper feed appears on the display. Go to the next step.

1. Change the tray combination and priority with the or switch. For example:

AUTO T1>MP

When "AUTO T1>MP" is set, both tray 1 and the multi-purpose tray are selected but tray 1 will be selected first if the paper size in tray 1 and the page size for the printing job match each other.

1. Press the SET switch.

MP FIRST

The display shows the current setting for the MP FIRST mode for the multi-purpose tray with an asterisk.

MP FIRST=OFF

1. Press the or switch to select on or off for the MP FIRST mode in the multi-purpose tray.

Note

• When you want to print the first page on paper such as letterhead in the multi-purpose tray, and the following pages on paper such as plain paper in another tray, place a sheet for the first page on the multi-purpose tray and select "MP FIRST=ON" in this menu. Then the printer first selects the multi-purpose tray regardless of the "FEEDER=####" setting and then automatically switches to the feeder selected in the "FEEDER=####" menu after the multi-purpose tray becomes empty.

• You can use the MP tray as a convenient temporary feeder by setting MP FIRST=ON. When MP FIRST=ON is set, if you place paper on MP tray, this paper will be printed, and if you do not place paper on MP tray, another tray will be selected according to the command or the “FEEDER=########” setting.

• You can set "MP FIRST=ON" so that you can use the MP tray paper first until it becomes empty and then switch to other paper sources which hold the same size of paper. You can set "MP FIRST=ON" for this purpose only when all the trays hold the same type and size of paper. When the MP tray paper size is different from paper in other trays, you must not select "ON" if you do not want to use MP tray paper.

• Press the SET switch.

MANUAL FEED

The display shows manual feed mode with an asterisk as follows:

MANUAL FEED=OFF*

1. Press the or switch to turn the manual feed mode on or off.
2. Press the SET switch to make the setting effective.

Note

When you select the "MANUAL FEED=ON", note that the feeder set in the "FEEDER=####" menu is ignored and the manual feed mode from the multi-purpose tray is selected. You must set "MANUAL FEED=OFF" so that the feeder selection in the "FEEDER=####" menu can be effective.

Unsatisfactory Printouts

If you are not satisfied with the printout quality, check the problem and take the necessary action to clear it.

Note

It is possible that paper could meet all of the guidelines listed in the specifications and still not print satisfactorily. This may be due to temperature, humidity or other variables over which the printer has no control. If you cannot clear print problems, consult the dealer where you purchased the printer.

Unclear Printouts

The printed page may have white stripes or faint images.

Fig. 7-7 White Stripes or Faint Images

If you see these print problems, check for the toner empty message. The toner may not be distributed evenly in the cartridge or the toner cartridge may be empty.

16 TONER EMPTY

Follow these steps to clear the problem:

1. Open the top cover of the printer.

Fig. 7-8 Opening the Top Cover

1. Remove the toner cartridge from the printer.

Fig. 7-9 Removing the Toner Cartridge

1. Rock the cartridge gently several times at a 45^ angle.

This distributes the toner evenly inside the cartridge.

Fig. 7-10 Distributing the Toner Evenly

1. Install the toner cartridge and close the top cover of the printer.
2. Print out several pages.

If you are still not satisfied with the printout, replace the toner cartridge with a new one.

Stains and Stripes

If the printed page is stained with toner or has vertical stripes, clean the printer interior. See "Cleaning" in Chapter 6.

Stains

Stripes

Stains at Fixed Intervals
Fig. 7-11 Dark Stripes or Toner Stains

If the same print problem occurs after cleaning, take any of the following actions:

• Make sure that you use paper or OHP films that meet specifications and have the correct printing surface.
• Check that the toner cartridge is not damaged. If it is damaged, replace it with a new one.

If the stripes or stains are vertically repetitive on a page, take the following action in accordance with the intervals of the stripes or stains.

Interval	Action
95 mm or 3.7”	Replace the toner cartridge.
53 mm or 2.1”	Print several pages. *
51 mm or 2.0”	Replace the toner cartridge.
38 mm or 1.5”	Replace the toner cartridge.

• If the problem occurs repeatedly, the transfer roller needs to be replaced with a new one. Consult your dealer or sales personnel.

■ White Spots

The printed page may have white spots in black text and graphics areas. Make sure that you use paper or OHP films that meet specifications and have the correct printing surface.

Fig. 7-12 White Spots

Toner Scatter

If toner scatters around printed characters and stains the printed page, clean the printer interior. See "Cleaning" in Chapter 6.

Fig. 7-13 Toner Scatter

If the same print problem occurs after cleaning, take any of the following actions:

• Make sure that you use paper, OHP films, or envelopes that meet specifications.
• Check for glue on the paper. Glue causes toner to scatter.
• If toner scatters over the entire printing surface, adjust the print density. See “Checking the Printed Test Pattern or Demo page” in Chapter 2.

■ Black Page

If an entire page is printed in black, make sure that the toner cartridge is properly installed. Never use heat-sensitive paper, or it may cause this problem.

Fig. 7-14 Black Page

■ White Page

If nothing is printed on pages, make sure that the toner cartridge is not empty, the sealing tape is removed from the toner cartridge, or you use paper, OHP films, or envelopes that meet specifications.

If a stack of paper is not fanned, more than one sheet may be loaded at a time, which may cause blank pages to be ejected.

Fig. 7-15 White Page

■ Dropout

If nothing or part of a page is printed, make sure that the toner cartridge is not empty or the toner is evenly distributed in the cartridge. Take the proper action, referring to "Unclear Printouts" in this section.

Also, make sure that you use paper, OHP films or envelopes that meet specifications. Moist paper causes this problem.

If the print density is set too low, this problem may occur. Adjust the print density to the proper setting. See "Checking the Printed Test Pattern or Demo page" in Chapter 2.

Test printing on paper, especially envelopes, is recommended before making a large purchase. The following types of envelopes are not recommended for use.

• Envelopes with thick and/or crooked edges
• Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped envelopes
• Extremely shiny or highly textured envelopes
• Envelopes with clasps
• Envelopes of baggy construction
• Envelopes not sharply creased
• Embossed envelopes
• Envelopes already printed with a laser printer
• Envelopes pre-printed on the inside
• Envelopes that cannot be arranged uniformly when placed in a pile

Notes

• An area 15mm (0.6") from the edges of the envelope will not be printed.
• Avoid feeding labels with the carrier sheet exposed. Otherwise, your printer will be damaged.
• When feeding OHP film, the use of a recommended type for laser printers will ensure optimum printing. For detailed information on the specification or purchase, please contact your nearest authorized sales representative or the place of purchase.

PAPER

The printer is designed to work well with most types of xerographic and bond paper. However, some paper variables may have an effect on print quality or handling reliability. Always test samples of paper before buying to ensure that it provides acceptable performance. Some important guidelines when selecting paper are:

1. Supplier should be informed that the paper or envelopes will be used in a laser printer.
2. Preprinted papers must use inks that can withstand the temperature of the printers fusing process. (200 degrees centigrade)
3. If selecting a cotton bond paper, paper having a rough surface such as cockle or laid finished paper, or paper that is wrinkled or puckered, these may exhibit degraded performance.

Note

The manufacturer neither warrants or recommends the use of any particular paper. The operator is responsible for the quality of paper used with the printer.

Paper Types to Avoid

Some types of paper might not perform well or may cause damage to your printer.

Types of paper to avoid are:

1. Highly textured paper.
2. Smooth or shiny paper.
3. Paper that is coated or has a chemical finish.
4. Damaged, wrinkled or prefolded paper.
5. Paper exceeding the recommend weight specification specified in the manual.
6. Paper with tabs and staples.
7. Letterheads using low temperature dyes or thermography.
8. Multipart or carbonless paper.

DAMAGE OR OTHER DEFECTS CAUSED BY THE USE OF PAPERS LISTED UNDER "PAPER TYPES TO AVOID" WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR SERVICE AGREEMENTS.

ENVELOPES

Most envelopes will perform acceptably on your printer. However; some envelopes will have feeding and print quality problems because of their construction. A suitable envelope should have edges with a straight, well creased folds and should not have more than two thickness of paper along the lead 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.

Envelope Types to Avoid

1. Envelopes constructed with a paper with a weight that exceeds the paper weight specifications for the printer.
2. Poorly manufactured envelopes with edges that are not straight or consistently square.
3. Envelopes with "baggy" construction or folds that are not sharply creased.

4. Envelopes with transparent windows, holes, cutouts or perforations.

5. Envelopes with clasps, snaps or tie strings.

6. Envelopes made with smooth or shiny paper.
7. Envelopes that are rough, highly textured, or deeply embossed.
8. Envelopes which do not lie flat or that are curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped.
9. Envelopes having an open flap with an adhesive that seals the envelope.

USE OF ANY OF THE ENVELOPES LISTED ABOVE MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR PRINTER. SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR SERVICE AGREEMENT.

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 the envelope lies with the customer.

LABELS AND OVERHEAD TRANSPARENCIES

The printer will print on most type of labels and transparencies designed for use with a laser printer. Labels should have an adhesive that is acrylic-based since such material is more stable at the high temperatures in the fusing unit. Adhesives should not come in contact with any part of the printer, because the label stock may stick to the drum or rollers and cause jams and print quality problems. No adhesive should be exposed between the labels. Labels should be arranged so that they cover the entire page with the only exposed spaces being lengthwise down the sheet. Using labels with spaces may result in labels peeling off and causing serious jam or print problems.

All labels and transparencies used in this printer must be able to withstand a temperature of 200 degrees centigrade (392 degrees Fahrenheit) for a period of 0.1 seconds.

Label and transparency sheets should not exceed the paper weight specifications described in the User's Guide. Labels and transparencies exceeding this specification may not feed or print properly and cause damage to your printer.

The entire responsibility for the quality and performance of labels and transparencies lies with the customer.

DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE USE OF UNSATISFACTORY LABELS OR TRANSPARENCIES IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR SERVICE AGREEMENTS.

CCITT G3/G4 and TIFF (original command)

One of the unique features of the PCL mode of this printer is it supports CCITT G3/G4 type data compression and TIFF format.

CCITT G3/G4 (Raster Graphic Mode 1152)

The printer's PCL mode supports CCITT G3/G4 type graphic data compression.

This format is popular in optical document storage area as this compression is effective to store black and white type pictures.

Compression mode for CCITT G3/G4 is 1152 and the command becomes ESC * b 1152 M.

As G3/G4 format does not have picture size/resolution information, the printer requires a header at the beginning of the picture data. The header size is 94 byte. Both the header and the picture data are transferred by one transfer graphics data command (ESC * b ### W). Normal PCL transfer graphics data command has a limitation of the data size and ### should not exceed 32767. Unlike other mode, mode 1152 is special and this mode does not have 32767 byte size limitation.

Print model is not applied to this type of raster graphics.

The mode 1152 graphic data consists of the following data structure. The picture data follows the header.

Header format is described on the next page.

You have to specify mode 1152 by sending ESC *b1152M command for each graphic data transfer.

About CCITT G3/G4 data format, please refer to CCITT (THE INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE

CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE) BLUE BOOK Volume VII.

TIFF Format (Raster Graphic Mode 1024) & Advanced Photoscale Technology

The printer's PCL mode supports TIFF Version 5.0 file format as a format to transfer raster graphics data.

Mode set command for TIFF file format is ESC *b1024M.

One transfer graphics data command (ESC*b##W) should contain whole TIFF file.

In mode 1024, transfer graphics data command byte count does not have a limitation of 32,767 byte.

The printer supports both 'MM' (big endian) format and 'II' (little endian) format.

Print model is not applied to this type of data transfer.

The printer has some limitations on the TIFF file format.

1. Tags position has to be prior to the picture (strip) data.
2. Compression tag --- Tag ID:259

The printer supports 1, 2, 3, 4 and 32773.

1: no compression (Bits/Sample=1,4,8)
2: CCITT G3 MH (Bits/Sample=1)
3: CCITT G3 MR (Bits/Sample=1)
4: CCITT G4 (Bits/Sample=1)

32773: Pack Bit (Bits/Sample=1)

1. Sample/pixel --- Tag ID:277

This value should be 1. This means the printer accepts only monochrome TIFF file.

1. Bits/Sample --- Tag ID:258

The printer supports 1, 4 and 8.

If you specify 4 or 8 and the printer resolution is 600 dpi, the printer prints that page utilizing APT.

1. Horizontal resolution (Tag ID=282) and Vertical resolution (Tag ID=283)

Compression type	Bits/Sample	Available Resolution	APT
No Compression	4, 8	From 1 dpi to 300 dpi	ON
No Compression Pack Bit	1	Printer's Resolution (300 or 600 dpi)	OFF
CCITT G3 & G4	1	200,300,400,600 dpi400 & 600 dpi are only when printer operates in 600 dpi.	OFF

We recommend 150 dpi or less resolution for APT to reduce data size.

Horizontal 1200 dpi Image Format Mode(Raster Graphic Mode 1027)

The printer supports 1200 dpi printing for special image formats in 1200 dpi mode.

We recommend that the installed printer memory is 10 Mbytes or more for 1200 dpi printing.

To set 1200 dpi mode,

1. Set 1200 dpi printing mode by using the following PJL command:

$$ @ \mathrm {P J L} \text {S E T R A S 1 2 0 0 M O D E} = \mathrm {O N} $$

1. Choose PCL mode with the following PJL command:

$$ @ P J L E N T E R L A N G U A G E = P C L $$

(If you select a mode other than PCL mode, 1200 dpi printing mode cannot be selected.)

The PCL Mode set command for 1200 dpi Image Format is ESC *b1027M.

The transfer raster data command (ESC*b##W) then transfers horizontal 1200 dpi data.

<1200 dpi Graphic Data Compression Format>

This compression format consists of blocks of data 64 dots down the page starting from the leading edge of the paper.

Ex.) If the graphic data extends over three bands as shown in the following diagram, it transfers the data as three blocks of data:

$$ E S C ^ {*} \mathrm {b} # # \mathrm {W} < \text {B l o c k} 1 > < \text {B l o c k} 2 > < \text {B l o c k} 3 > $$

In mode 1027, the transfer graphic data command byte count does not have a limitation of 32,767 bytes.

The block data is composed as follows:

Position	Data	Description
0 - 1	Block length	n - 2
2 - 3	Horizontal position	dots from the left of the page
4 - 5	Vertical position	dots from the leading edge of the page
6	Height dots	number of image vertical dots
7 - 8	Width words	number of image horizontal 16 bit words
9 - (n - 1)	Compression data	compression image data

Ex.) Data is at horizontal position = 256 , vertical position = 64 , height = 32 dots, width = 100 × 16 bit words (1600 dots), and compression data is 800 bytes;

ESC*b809W 03h 27h 01h 00h 00h 40h 20h 00h 64h [Data800Byte]

a: Block length(807)
b: Horizontal position(256)
c: Vertical position(64)
d: Height dots(32)
e:Width words(100)
f: Compression image data

Data compression compresses the original image data word by word (16 bits).

The compressed data consists of both horizontal compression which uses 16 bit, 8 bit and 4 bit repeating patterns within 1 word or 2 words of data, and vertical compression which indicates to repeat the same data as in the previous line with 1 word of data.

• Non-compressed data

When the most significant bit in the first 2 bytes is 0, the printer goes into non-compression mode. The following 11 bits then indicate the number of words of data, and the least significant 4 bits are not used. After that, the image data follows word by word.

15	14	4	3	0
0	data word count (11 bits)	not used
data 1 (16 bits)
:
data n (16 bits)

16 bit repeating compressed data

When the most significant 3 bits in the first 2 bytes are in the order 1, 0,

0, the remaining 13 bits indicate the number of times to repeat 16 bit data.

The following 2 bytes should be the 16 bit data to repeat.

15	14	13	12	0
1	0	0	number of repeats(13 bits)
data to repeat(16 bits)

• 8 bit repeating compressed data

When the most significant 3 bits in the first 2 bytes are in the order 1, 1, 0, the following 5 bits indicate the number of times to repeat 16 bits (two by 8 bits) data. The remaining 8 bits should be the 8 bit data to repeat.

15	14	13	12	8	7	0
1	1	0	number of repeats	data to repeat(8 bits)
(5 bits)

• 4 bit repeating compression data

When the most significant 3 bits in the first 2 bytes are in the order 1,0,1 , the following 4 bits indicate 4 bit data to repeat. The remaining 9 bits indicate the number of times to repeat the 16 bit (4 by 4 bits) data.

15	14	13	12	9	8	0
1	0	1	data to repeat	number or repeats(9 bits)
(4 bits)

Vertical repeating compressed data

When the most significant 3 bits in the first 2 bytes are in the order 1, 1, 1, the remaining 13 bits indicate the same data words as in the previous line.

15	14	13	12
1	1	1	the same data words as in the previous line (13 bits)

The printer can not support the APT and HRC function in the 1200 dpi printing mode.

Bar Code Control

The printer can print bar codes in the HP LaserJet, EPSON FX-850, and IBM Proprinter XL emulation modes.

Print Bar Codes or Expanded Characters

Code	ESC i
Dec	27 105
Hex	1B 69

Format: ESC i n ... n\

Creates bar codes or expanded characters according to the segment of parameters "n ... n". For further information about parameters, see the following "Definition of Parameters." This command must end with the "\" code (5CH).

[Definition of Parameters]

This bar code command can have the following parameters in the parameter segment (n ... n). Since parameters are effective within the single command syntax ESC i n ... n \, they don't take effect in the subsequent bar code commands. If certain parameters are not specified, they take the default settings. The last parameter must be the bar code data start ("b" or "B") or the expanded character data start ("l" or "L"). Other parameters can be specified in any sequence. The prefix of each parameter can be a lower-case or upper-case character: for example, "t0" or "T0", "s3" or "S3", etc.

Bar Code Mode

n = "t0" or "T0"	CODE 39 (default)
n = "t1" or "T1"	Interleaved 2 of 5
n = "t3" or "T3"	FIM (US-Post Net)
n = "t4" or "T4"	Post Net (US-Post Net)
n = "t5" or "T5"	EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A
n = "t6" or "T6"	UPC E
n = "t9" or "T9"	Codabar
n = "t12" or "T12"	Code 128 set A
n = "t13" or "T13"	Code 128 set B
n = "t14" or "T14"	Code 128 set C
n = "t130" or "T130"	ISBN (EAN)
n = "t131" or "T131"	ISBN (UPC-E)
n = "t132" or "T132"	EAN 128 set A
n = "t133" or "T133"	EAN 128 set B
n = "t134" or "T134"	EAN 128 set C

This parameter selects the bar code mode as above. When n is "t5" or "T5", the bar code mode (EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A) varies according to the number of characters in the data.

Bar Code Data Start

$$ n = \text {" b "} o r \text {" B "} $$

Data that follows “b” or “B” is read in as bar code data. Bar code data must end with the “\” code (5CH), which also terminates this command. The acceptable bar code data is subject to the bar code mode selected by “t” or “T”.

• When CODE 39 is selected with the parameter "t0" or "T0":

Forty three characters "0" to "9", "A" to "Z", ".", ".", (space)", "$", "/", "+", and "%" can be accepted as bar code data. Other characters cause data error. The number of characters for bar codes is not limited. The bar code data automatically starts and ends with an asterisk "" (start character and stop character). If the received data has an asterisk " at its beginning or end, the asterisk is regarded as a start character or stop character.

• When Interleaved 2 of 5 is selected with the parameter "t1" or "T1":

Ten numerical characters "0" to "9" can be accepted as bar code data. Other characters cause data error. The number of characters for bar codes is not limited. Since this mode of bar codes require even characters, if the bar code data has odd characters, the zero character "0" is automatically added to the end of the bar code data.

• When FIM (US-Post Net) is selected with the parameter "t3" or "T3":

Characters "A" to "D" are valid and 1 digit of data can be printed. Uppercase and lowercase alphabet characters can be accepted.

• When Post Net (US-Post Net) is selected with the parameter "t4" or "T4":

Characters "0" to "9" can be data and it must be terminated by a check digit. "?" can be used in place of the check digit.

• When EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A is selected with the parameter "t5" or "T5":

Ten numerical characters "0" to "9" can be accepted as bar code data. The number of characters for bar codes is limited as follows.

EAN 8: Total 8 digits (7 digits + 1 check digit)

EAN 13: Total 13 digits (12 digits + 1 check digit)

UPCA: Total 12 digits (11 digits + 1 check digit)

A number of characters other than above causes data error and the bar code data is printed as normal print data. If the check digit is incorrect, the printer calculates the correct check digit automatically so that the correct bar code data will be printed. When EAN13 is selected, adding "+" and a 2-or 5-digit number after the data can create an add-on code.

• When UPC-E is selected with the parameter "t6" or "T6":

The numerical characters "0" to "9" can be accepted as bar code data.

(1) 8 digits

Standard format. The first character

must be "0" and the data must be terminated by a check digit.

Total 8 digits = "0" + 6 digits + 1 check digit.

(2) 6 digits

The first character and the last

check digit are removed from the 8 digit data.

1: For 8 digits, “?” can be used in place of a check digit.
2: Adding "+" and 2- or 5-digit number after the data creates an add-on code for all 6 and 8 digit formats.

• When Codabar is selected with the parameter "t9" or "T9":

Characters "0" to "9", "-", ".", "$", "/", "+", ": can be printed.
Characters "A" to "D" can be printed as a start-stop code, which can be uppercase or lowercase. If there is no start-stop code, errors occur.
A check digit cannot be added and using "?" causes errors.

• When Code 128 Set A, Set B, or Set C is selected with the parameter "t12" or "T12," "t13" or "T13," or "t14" or "T14" respectively:

Code 128 sets A, B and C are individually selectable. Set A encodes characters Hex 00 ... 5F. Set B encodes characters Hex 20 ... 7F. Set C encodes numeric pairs 00 ... 99. Switching is allowed between the code sets by sending %A, %B, or %C. FNC 1, 2, 3, and 4 are produced with %1, %2, %3, and %4. The SHIFT code, %S, allows temporary switching (for 1 character only) from set A to set B and vice versa. The “%” character can be encoded by sending it twice.

• When ISBN (EAN) is selected with the parameter "t130" or "T130":

Same rules apply as for "t5" or "T5"

• When ISBN (UPC-E) is selected with the parameter "t131" or "T131":

Same rules apply as for "t6" or "T6"

• When EAN 128 set A, set B or set C is selected with the parameter "t132" or "T132", "t133" or "T133" or "t134" or "T134" respectively:

Same rules apply as for "t12" or "T12", "t13" or "T13", or "t14" or "T14".

Box Drawing

ESC i ... E (or e)

"E" or "e" is a terminator.

Line Block Drawing

ESC i ... V (or v)

"V" or "v" is a terminator.

Expanded Character Data Start

n = "l" or "L"

Data that follows "l" or "L" is read in as expanded character data (or labeling data). Expanded character data must end with the "\" code (5CH), which also terminates this command.
