IMPORTANT - For Your Safety

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

Any extension cords used with this printer must be three-conductor and be correctly wired to provide connection to ground. Improper extension cords are a major cause of fatalities.

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 that is easily accessible. In case of emergencies, you must disconnect the power cord from the power outlet to shut off the power completely.

Geräuschemission / Acoustic Noise Emission (For Germany Only)

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

Wiring Information (For U.K. only)

Important

If the mains plug supplied with this printer is not suitable for your socket outlet, remove the plug from the mains cord and fit an appropriate three pin plug. If the replacement plug is intended to take a fuse then fit the same rating fuse as the original.

If a moulded plug is severed from the mains cord then it should be destroyed because a plug with cut wires is dangerous if engaged in a live socket outlet. Do not leave it where a child might find it!

In the event of replacing the plug fuse, fit a fuse approved by ASTA to BS1362 with the same rating as the original fuse.

Always replace the fuse cover. Never use a plug with the cover omitted.

WARNING - THIS PRINTER MUST BE PROPERLY EARTHED.

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

Green and yellow: Earth

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live

The colours of the wires in the main 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 that is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “N” or coloured black or blue.

USER'S GUIDE

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal that 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.

Connecting the Printer to Your Computer

This printer has a bi-directional parallel interface and an RS-232C serial interface. They allow the printer to communicate with IBM/PC ^® or compatible computers. Before connecting the printer and computer, you need to purchase a connecting cable specifically made for the interface to be used

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 button. For further information, see “MODE Button” 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 button on the printer. For further information, see “MODE Button” 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.

Note

To use the parallel connection, only a shielded interface cable that is IEEE 1284 compliant and less than 1.8m (6 feet) long should be used.

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

2. Secure the connection to the printer with the wire clips or screws.

Serial Interface Port Secure connection with screws. Computer Parallel Interface Port Secure connection with wire clips. Printer

Fig. 2-21 Connecting the Printer and Computer

1. Attach the other end of the interface cable to the interface connector on your computer. Be sure to tighten the connection on the computer as well.

Note

When you connect to a network, you can use Brother NC-3100h or NC-2010h/NC-2100h Network cards. For the details, refer to the Network User's Guide.

Turning the Printer On

Installing the Power Cord and Turning the Printer On

1. Make sure that the Power button is turned OFF. The power button is on the front left side of the printer.

Fig. 2-22 Plugging in the Power Cord

1. Turn the printer on by pressing the Power Button.

Caution

- Check the AC voltage. This printer should be operated at the specified voltage and frequency.

• USA and Canada: AC 120 V, 50/60 Hz
• Europe, Australia and others: AC 220 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz

• Since this printer must be electrically grounded, the power cord should be connected to a grounded AC outlet.
• The total length of the power cord, including extension cords, should not exceed 5 meters (16.4 feet). Use of a longer power cord may result in reduced voltage or malfunctions.
• Do not unplug the power cord to turn off the printer.
• The printer should be installed near a power outlet that is easily accessible.

Caution

Always wait at least 5 seconds after turning off the power before turning it on again.

Do not turn the power off while the printer is printing as this may cause a paper jam and adversely affect the printer.

The printer performs self-diagnosis at start-up to check its hardware and software. If the printer should find any problems, the display will change to show the corresponding error message. See “TROUBLESHOOTING” in Chapter 6.

The display shows several messages quickly at start-up. If the printer detects no errors, the printer initializes. This will take several minutes during which time the LCD will display the following message :

LJ WAIT 001P T1 AUTO K C M Y

Once the printer has finished initializing, it automatically goes on-line and the message changes to show the current printer status and settings as shown below:

LJ READY 001P T1 AUTO K C M Y

AUTO: The auto emulation selection mode is set.

LJ : The auto emulation selection is set and currently the HP PCL5C emulation is selected.

READY : The printer is ready to print.

001 : The number of copies to print is set to 1.

P : Portrait print is selected.

T1 : Paper is fed from Tray1.

■ : Toner cartridges are full. When the toner cartridges become nearly empty, the ■ indication blinks. The ■

indication disappears when a color toner is empty.

Printing the Test Patterns or Lists

You can check print quality and print a list of available fonts before you actually start working with the printer. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Make sure that you have already installed the toner cartridges, the OPC Belt Cartridge, the Oil Bottle and the Fuser Cleaner and have loaded paper into the cassette. Make sure that you have removed the protective parts on the Waste Toner Pack.
2. Turn on the printer. Wait until the following message is displayed:

CHAPTER 3 BEFORE WORKING WITH THE 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 PCL 5C	HP PCL 5C
	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 Brother BR-Script 2 emulation.

The printer is set to the HP color printer emulation (PCL5C) mode automatically. Since PCL5C mode takes the highest priority in the automatic emulation selection, 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 modes, the display reads as follows:

Emulation	Status Display in Ready State
HP PCL5C	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

Notes

Emulation modes other than PCL5C and BR-Script 2 are monochrome emulation modes.

To select the emulation mode manually, use the Emulation button. For further information, see “EMULATION Button” in Chapter 4.

Notes

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 button. The factory setting is 5 seconds.
• The EPSON or IBM emulation mode priority must be selected, since the printer cannot distinguish between them. The factory default setting is EPSON emulation mode. If you wish to use IBM emulation, you will need to select it manually using the Emulation button 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 buttons 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, RS-232C serial interface, NC-3100h 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 button. For more information, see “MODE Button” in Chapter 4. Since the automatic interface selection mode has been factory set to ON, simply connect the interface cable to the printer. (Note: Always turn off both your computer and printer when connecting or disconnecting the cable).

When using the serial interface, you must have the same communication settings on both the printer and computer. Since the automatic interface selection mode has been factory set for standard computer serial link, you may be able to simply connect the interface cable to the printer if your computer already has the settings detailed 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 button (INTERFACE MODE) on the printer. For more information, see “MODE Button” in Chapter 4. For the settings on your the computer, please refer to your user’s manual for your computer or application software.

Notes

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 button. 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 button.
• The automatic interface selection function takes a few seconds to work. If you want to speed up printing, select the required interface manually via the Mode button.

If you typically use only one interface, we recommend you select that interface as your default.. If only one interface is selected, the printer will allocate all of the input buffer to that interface.

ABOUT THE CONTROL PANEL

Selecting the Local Language Display

The display shows the current printer status. When you operate the control panel buttons, it shows functions and settings. If a problem occurs, it shows the corresponding error message. These messages are displayed in several languages. The default is English.

Fig. 4-3 Buttons in NORMAL Mode

Note

The factory settings are printed in bold in this section.

SEL Button

Pressing the Sel button toggles the printer mode between on-line and off-line. When the printer is on-line, the On Line LED lights and the printer is ready to receive data from the computer. When the printer is off-line, the On Line LED is off.

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

If you press the Sel button when the printer is on-line, it takes the printer off-line and the LCD displays the current emulation.

You can enter other emulations in the AUTO emulation mode by pressing the ▲ (UP) or ▼ (DOWN) button.

Notes

When you press the Sel button, remember the following:

• All other buttons—except the Sel button—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 button to take it off-line, but you cannot enter other emulation modes. To make settings in other emulation modes, press the Emulation button and select the emulation.
• The Sel button works as a “quick exit” button. If you are lost in the display menus or you want to quickly exit the display menu, press the Sel button. You can exit quickly from any level of the display menu to the on-line mode. If you have already made a setting effective by pressing the Set button and then press the Sel button to quickly exit, your setting (whether made by accident or on purpose) will remain effective. Pressing the Sel button will not cancel any setting you have made.

SET Button

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

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

Note

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

▲ (UP) or ▼ (DOWN) Button

Press the ▲ (UP) or ▼ (DOWN) button to scroll forward or backward through the menus and settings. Press or continue pressing the button until you locate your desired option.

MODE Button

Pressing the Mode button allows you to enter modes where you can change settings. The mode menus and settings will vary according to the current emulation mode and options.

Display Message	Interface Mode
I/F=PARALLEL	Parallel interface
I/F=RS-232C	Serial interface
I/F=EXTEND I/O	Extended I/O interface
I/F=AUTO	Auto interface selection

Note

• The Extended I/O interface is available only when a commercial MIO compatible sharing/network card has been installed.

• Some models are supplied with the network card pre-installed.

• Press the Set button to save your selection.

An asterisk appears at the end of the display for a short time. Then the printer automatically exits from the setting menu to the interface menu.

1. Press the ▲ or ▼ button until the exit menu appears on the display.

2. Press the Set button.

Then the printer automatically returns to the off-line ready state.

1. Press the Sel button to turn the printer On-line.

INTERFACE MODE

The automatic interface selection has been factory set. If you want to select a specific interface manually, use interface mode to select it.

Display Message	Interface Mode
I/F=PARALLEL	Parallel interface
I/F=RS-232C	Serial interface
I/F=EXTEND I/O	Extended I/O interface
I/F=AUTO	Auto interface selection

Select the setting menu and enter the sub-setting menu to change the setting as follows:

■ Automatic Interface Selection

When you select this function with the Set button, the display shows the next sub-setting menu.

You must set the time out for the auto interface selection from 1 to 99 seconds with the ▲ or ▼ button: factory setting = 5 seconds. This time out is the duration during which the printer will not allow another automatic change to the interface.

Even if you choose the automatic interface selection, you must set the communications parameters for the serial interface, high speed / bidirectional communications for the parallel interface and the optional interface settings if the installed MIO card requires them. See the tables below.

For more information about automatic interface selection, see “AUTOMATIC INTERFACE SELECTION” in Chapter 3.

Parallel Interface

When you use the parallel interface, you must set the communications mode in the following sub-setting menu.

Display Message	High Speed and Bi-directional Parallel Communications
HIGH SPEED=ON	Turn on or off the high speed parallel communications.
BI-DIR=ON	Turn 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. 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 must install the Brother driver supplied on the CD-ROM included with the printer or a third party 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

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

Display Message	Parameters	Settings
BaudRate= 9600	Baud rate(Data transfer speed)	150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800,9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200baud
CodeType=8 bits	Code type(Data length)	7 bits or 8 bits

DTR (ER) =ON(Effective when Xon/Xoff=ON)	Data terminal ready (ER)	ON: Makes DTR (ER) low when the buffer is full.OFF: Does not make DTR (ER) low when the buffer is full. DTR(ER) goes low only when the printer is off-line.
Robust Xon =OFF(Effective when Xon/Xoff=ON)	Robust Xon	ON: Sends Xon while waiting.OFF: Sends Xon once, when the printer status changes from off-line to on-line.

■ Extended I/O Interface

If you have installed a commercial modular input/output (MIO) card in the printer, you can select the extended I/O interface in this mode. If the installed MIO card requires any optional interface settings, they appear under this menu. Set them, referring to the manual of the MIO card.

Note

This setting appears only when an MIO card has been installed. For installation of the MIO card, see the Network manual. The network card may be pre-installed on some HL-2400Ce series models.

Notes

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

• Letter size has been factory set for 120V models. A4 size has been factory set for 220/240V models.
• When you use paper smaller than specified in the PAGE FORMAT MODE, be sure that the print area is smaller than the paper size; otherwise the inside of the printer will get stained with toner. We recommend that you perform a test before actual use. For this test, you should use letter or A4 size of paper to confirm that the printed area is completely within the margins of the paper size you intend using. This simple test will help prevent toner from spreading throughout the inside of your printer, which may cause later print jobs to be smudged with toner.
• The factory settings for 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 range of settings 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
A4	0-70	10-78-80	0-103	10-113
Legal	0-70	10-80	0-126	10-136

■ 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.

$$ # \text { of Lines / Page } = \frac {\text { Page Length - (Top Margin + Bottom Margin) }}{\text { Line Feed Pitch [Vertical Motion Index (VMI)] }} $$

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
A4	64 lines	43 lines
Legal	78 lines	45 lines

In Non-HP Modes

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

COLOR MODE

Note

The settings in this mode menu are effective only in the HP PCL5C and BR-Script 2 modes.

Display Message	Orientation
COLOR PRINT=ON	print in color mode
COLOR PRINT=OFF	print in monochrome mode only

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.

Since the HP-GL emulation mode is for a plotter, you can select the plotter pens, the pen size and percentage of gray in this mode menu.

Display Message	Graphics Mode
PEN SETTING	Set the size and percentage of gray separately for six plotter pens.
CHARACTER SET	Set the standard and alternate character sets.

Note

In most cases, the application software controls the above graphics mode settings, so you do not have to set them in this menu with the Mode button. The software or command setting overrides the button setting.

Select the setting menu and enter the sub-setting menu to make the changes as follows:

■ Pen Setting

After you select the pen, advance to the sub-setting menu for size or gray-percentage selection with the ▲ or ▼ button and enter the menu with the Set button.

Message appears on the lower row of the LCD	What you can adjust
SIZE 1=3 dots *	The pen size can be set from 1 dot to 10 dots
GRAY 1=100% *	The shades of gray can be set to 15, 30, 45, 75, 90 or 100%

Notes

• When another pen is selected, the display shows the selected pen with the number after “SIZE” or “GRAY.”
• Whichever resolution you have selected (300 or 600 dpi), the pen size takes effect in units of 300 dpi.

■ Character Set

When you select “CHARACTER SET,” you can select the standard and alternate character sets used in the HP-GL emulation mode.

Enter the sub-setting menu and select the menu for the standard or alternate character set with the ▲ or ▼ button and press the Set button.

RESOLUTION MODE

The print resolution, Color Advanced Photoscale Technology (CAPT) and High Resolution Control (HRC) can be set in this mode menu.

Display Message	Resolution Mode
RESOLUTION	Set the print resolution of the printer.
CAPT SETTING	Set the CAPT function. .
HRC SETTING	Set the HRC function.

Select the setting menu and enter the sub-setting menu to make the settings as follows:

■ Resolution

When you select “RESOLUTION,” you can choose a resolution of 300 or 600 dots per inch (dpi) on this printer. You can set the resolution in this mode according to your requirements.

The printer may not be able to print large files because of the resolution and the printer's memory. The higher the resolution (and thus the file size), the more memory is required.

Display Message	Resolution
RESOLUTION=600	Set the resolution to 600 dpi.(Factory setting)
RESOLUTION=300	Set the resolution to 300 dpi.

Note

• Even if you set the resolution to 600 dpi in this mode, the printer may not be able to print large and complex full color files at 600 dpi because of insufficient memory. However, it automatically decreases the resolution to 300 dpi to print them. While the printer is printing in this mode, the display prompts “01 PR300 ...”
• If the printer cannot print files even at 300 dpi, a “MEMORY FULL” error occurs. See “TROUBLESHOOTING” in Chapter 6.
• This automatic resolution decrease function works with the page protection on. See also “PAGE PROTECTION” in this chapter.
• When you want to print large and complex full color data without decreasing the resolution, you should expand the memory capacity of the printer.

■ CAPT Setting

When you select “CAPT SETTING,” you can use the Color Advanced Photoscale Technology (CAPT) function which offers photographic fine color on graphics. CAPT setting is available only in BR-Script 2 mode. This feature requires a minimum of 24 MB of RAM to process large and complex full color printouts. When you set CAPT=ON, the high resolution control (HRC) setting is unavailable.

Display Message	Advanced Photoscale Technology
CAPT =ON	Color advanced photoscale technology is effective.
CAPT =OFF	Cancel the color advanced photoscale technology. (factory setting)

Note

In the PCL 5C mode, CAPT setting is always ON. It depends on the printer setting if the printer uses the function or not.

■ HRC Setting

When you select “HRC SETTING,” you can set the high resolution control (HRC) function which is a special function that offers improved print quality of characters and graphics that conventional laser printers cannot attain with resolutions of 300 or 600 dpi.

Display Message	High Resolution Control
HRC =OFF	Cancel high resolution control.
HRC =LIGHT	Set high resolution control to the light level.
HRC =MEDIUM	Set high resolution control to the medium level. (Factory setting)
HRC =DARK	Set high resolution control to the dark level.

The following figures show jagged print with the high resolution control set to “OFF” on the left and clear and crisp print with the control set to “MEDIUM” on the right.

PAGE PROTECTION

Note

The setting in this mode menu is effective in the HP PCL5C, EPSON FX-850, IBM Proprinter XL and HP-GL modes. It does not appear in the BRScript 2 mode.

If print images are too complex to print, the printer may print them in parts or only on part of the page. If this occurs, the printer loses print data and shows a message on the LCD panel.

The page protection function reserves additional memory so that the printer can create the entire page image in memory before physically printing it. This function can be set for letter, A4, or legal size paper. Select the paper size for page protection.

Display Message	Page Protection
PROTECT=AUTO	Page protection on only when it is necessary. (Factory setting)
PROTECT=LETTER	Page protection on for letter size paper.
PROTECT=A4	Page protection on for A4 size paper.
PROTECT=LEGAL	Page protection on for legal size paper.
PROTECT=OFF	Page protection off

To protect pages, your printer will need the minimum memory shown in the following table:

Protection	600 dpi Color
Off	16 Mbytes
Letter or A4	20 Mbytes
Legal	24 Mbytes

Note

When you use the page protection function, note the following:

- If the function setting is changed, all download fonts and macros—including permanent ones—are cleared. If the memory is too low to protect pages, page protection does not take effect.

DEVICE OPERATION

Notes

• BE SURE TO TURN OFF THE PRINTER POWER BUTTON BEFORE INSTALLING OR REMOVING A FLASH MEMORY CARD OR HDD CARD, OR THE CARD WILL BE DAMAGED.
• Settings in this mode are effective only when you have installed a flash memory card, HDD card or optional HDD and you have selected PCL5C, HP-GL, or BR-Script 2. They will not appear if the printer does not have a card installed or if it is in another emulation mode.
• If you turn the printer off or remove the flash memory card or HDD card while data is being written onto or deleted from the card, all the data on the card may be lost.
• If the write protect button of the flash memory card or HDD card is on, this mode menu does not appear.
  • An HDD card will only fit into slot 2.

Be sure to install a commercial flash memory card or HDD card in the correct card slot of the printer.

When you are in this mode menu, you can save macros and fonts in the installed flash memory card or the HDD card.

The sub-setting menus displayed in this mode will vary according to the status of the installed card.

Display Message	Card Operation
DEVICE 1	Select Card 1.
DEVICE 2	Select Card 2.
DEVICE 3	Select optional HDD.

When two cards are installed, you can select the card that you want to operate.

When the installed card is not formatted:

When you enter this mode menu with a flash memory card, HDD card or optional HDD installed but not formatted by this printer, you must first format the device.

If DEVICE is selected,

Display Message	Card Operation
FORMAT DEVICE	Format a new flash memory card, HDD card or optional HDD.
Exit	Exit to DEVICE OPERATION

When the display shows “FORMAT DEVICE,” press the Set button to format the installed card.

After the printer finishes formatting the device, you must exit to the “DEVICE OPERATION” menu.

Notes

• When the card is formatted, data that was previously written is erased.
• It takes ten or more seconds to format a 2-Mbyte flash memory card, HDD card or optional HDD. The larger the capacity of the device, the longer time it takes to format.

When the installed flash memory card, HDD card or optional HDD is formatted:

When you enter this mode menu with a formatted device installed, the display shows the following menus:

Display Message	Card Operation
DEVICE 1	Select Card 1.
DEVICE 2	Select Card 2.
DEVICE 3	Select optional HDD.

After you have selected the card, the display shows the following messages:

Display Message	Flash Operation

DEVICE LIST	Print the contents of the flash memory, HDD card or optional HDD. This menu appears only when something has been saved in the device.
SAVE	Save received data, macros and fonts.
DELETE	Delete items from the device.

Note

A common use of the flash memory is with FORMS software packages. With these commercially available software packages you have an option to send a form to the printer without any data. After you have sent the form to the printer, you may save the form in the flash memory as a Macro. Then the next time you want to print this form, you would setup your FORMS software package to SEND DATA ONLY - USE FORM IN PRINTER. This process could save from 1 to 4 minutes per print job.

Select the setting menu and enter the sub-setting menu to change the settings as follows:

■ Execute Data

Note

This menu appears only when data has been saved on the device.

When you select “EXECUTE DATA,” you can execute any of the data saved in the device using the SAVE DATA mode.

When you enter this sub-setting menu with the Set button, the printer prompts you to select the ID of the data.

Select the ID with the ▲ or ▼ button and press the Set button again, so that the printer executes the selected data.

■ Device List

When you select “DEVICE LIST” and you press the Set button, the printer automatically loads paper and starts printing the contents of the installed flash memory card, HDD card or optional HDD. You can check the contents and the unused capacity of the device.

■ Save

When you select “SAVE” and you press the Set button, you can enter the following sub-setting menus to save the macros and fonts in the installed device:

Display Message	Save Menu
SAVE DATA	Save data that the printer will receive and set its ID.
SAVE MACRO	Save a macro. This menu appears only in the HP PCL5C emulation mode.
PRIMARY FONT	Save the primary font selected with the Font button. This menu appears only in the HP PCL5C emulation mode.
SECONDARY FONT	Save the secondary font selected with the Font button. This menu appears only in the HP PCL5C emulation mode.
DOWNLOAD FONT	Save a download font. This menu appears only in the HP PCL5C emulation mode.

Note

If the capacity of the device becomes low while macros and fonts are being saved, the display shows the “DEVICE FULL” error message and they cannot be saved. Use a new device or delete unnecessary macros and fonts from the card. The DEVICE LIST displays the contents and the used capacity.

- Save Data

You can send data and save it on the device. In this mode, any kind of data such as PCL data, BR-Script 2 data and command strings can be saved. When you select “SAVE DATA” and you press the Set button, the display shows the guide menu.

The guide menu message prompts you to press the Set button again so that the printer exits from the data reception status when you have finished sending data.

Send the data from your computer and then press the Set button.

Notes

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 button. 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 is available in RAM. If any data remains, it will be printed first.

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

When you exit from the data reception status, select the data ID with the

▲ or ▼ button and press the Set button. The printer will then save the received data with the selected ID onto the card.

Notes

• 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 cannot be run with a macro execution command in HP PCL5C emulation.

- Save Macro

Note

The “SAVE MACRO” menu appears only in the HP PCL5C emulation mode.

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

If a macro has been downloaded into the printer's memory and you press the Set button at "SAVE MACRO", the printer prompts you to select the ID for the macro.

Select the ID with the ▲ or ▼ button and press the Set button 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 PCL5C emulation mode.

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

When you press the Set button at the “PRIMARY FONT” or “SECONDARY FONT” message, the printer prompts you to select the ID of the font.

Select the ID with the ▲ or ▼ button and press the Set button 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 will be erased and replaced with the new one.

Whatever font you have selected via the Font button, the printer will save it as a bitmapped font as long as the print size is no more than 24 point. This allows the printer to print fonts faster than when they are not saved. We recommend that you save the scalable fonts that you frequently use as bitmap fonts for faster printing.

Since the flash memory card is in card slot 1 or 2 (the HDD card can only be used in card slot 2), 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 “DEVICE1 FONT” or “DEVICE2 FONT” with the Font button or the font selection command from your software. For font selection, see “FONT Button” in this chapter.

You can check the saved fonts by printing the list of fonts with the Test button. See “TEST Button” in this chapter.

Notes

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 device. If the font data exceeds the RAM capacity, a memory full error occurs. You can clear this error with the Continue button. As not all the font data has been stored in RAM, you cannot save the font to the device. 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.
• If you have saved the font at 600-dpi resolution and change the printer resolution to 300 dpi, the printer cannot print the saved font.

- Download Font

Notes

• The “DOWNLOAD FONT” menu appears only in the HP PCL5C emulation mode.
• Be sure to print the list of download fonts with the Test button and check the download font ID on the list before you enter this menu. You must select the font in this menu using 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, HDD card or optional HDD.

The printer prompts you to select the download font ID that you can choose from the font list. Press the ▲ or ▼ button to move the cursor to the ID and select it with the Set button.

Note

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

After you have selected the download font ID, press the Set button, 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 downloaded font in the device, you will not need to download the font every time you want to use it.

Since the font can be saved in either the flash memory card in card slot 1 or 2 (the HDD card can be used only in card slot 2) of the printer, or in the optional HDD, you can select the saved fonts as “DEVICE1(2 or 3) FONT” with the Font button or the font selection command from your software. For font selection, see “FONT Button” in this chapter.

You can check the fonts saved on the card by printing the list of fonts with the Test button. See “TEST Button” in this chapter.

Note

When the fonts on the HDD card are selected in a print job, they are copied into the printer RAM. It may cause a printer memory full error because those fonts occupy some RAM space. We recommend that you install optional DIMM memory to use the downloaded fonts on the HDD card.

Delete

When you select “DELETE” and press the Set button, you can enter the following sub-setting menus to delete macros and fonts or format the installed flash memory card or HDD card:

Display Message	Delete Menu

Note

Do not forget the pass number used to lock the control panel. If you enter the wrong number, you will not be able to unlock it and the display will show the following message:

INCORRECT!!

■ Auto Form Feed

If unprinted data remains in the printer's memory, the Data LED stays on. You must print the remaining data with the Form Feed button. See “FORM FEED Button” in this chapter.

The auto form feed mode you can set in this menu allows you to print the remaining data without pressing the Form Feed button.

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

Display Message	Auto Form Feed
AUTO FF=OFF	Turn off the auto form feed. You must press the Form Feed button 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, an auto form feed takes place after the wait time set as shown below.

When you turn on the auto form feed feature as explained above, you must 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. The printer automatically prints the remaining data after the set wait time.
WAIT TIME=99s	The wait time can be set from 1 to 99 seconds.

■ Form Feed Suppress

You can turn the form feed suppress function on or off in this menu as follows:

Display Message	Form Feed Suppress
FF SUPPRESS=OFF	Turn off the form feed suppress function. (Factory setting)
FF SUPPRESS=ON	Turn on the form feed suppress function.

If pages contain no print data, the printer would normally print blank pages. When you turn this function on, you can suppress printing blank pages.

When the printer is used in a network environment, it may be set to deliberately print a blank page at the end of each print job. When you turn on this function, the printer does not print the blank pages.

ERROR PRINT

Note

The setting in this mode menu is effective only in the BR-Script 2 mode. It does not appear in any other emulation modes.

You can turn on or off the error print in this mode.

Display Message	Error Mode
ERROR PRINT=ON	Turn on the error print so that the printer prints a Postscript error if one occurs.
ERROR PRINT=OFF	Turn off the error print so that the printer does not print an error message. (Factory setting)

CONTINUE MODE

If any recoverable error occurs, including “Toner Empty,” it can be cleared with the Continue button. The Continue button function is selected with this mode setting.

Display Message	Continue Mode
CONTINUE=MANUAL	Select the manual error recovery mode. Press the Continue button to clear errors. (Factory setting)
CONTINUE=AUTO	Select the auto error recovery mode. The printer automatically clears recoverable errors. You need not press the Continue button.

SCALABLE FONT

Note

The setting in this mode menu is effective only in the HP PCL5C 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 PCL5C emulation mode has been selected, the printer may print a different font rather than the font you have selected with your program or a font selection command.

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

Display Message	Scalable Font
FONT=ALL	All scalable fonts for this printer can be selected with the font selection command. (Factory setting)
FONT=LJ	Scalable fonts for 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 button. The setting in this mode menu merely restricts the font selection command from an application to avoid incorrect font selections.

INPUT BUFFER

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

Note

If the printer reports a memory full error, reduce the capacity of the input buffer.

After you change the input buffer capacity (make sure you press the Set button), be sure to turn off the printer and then turn it on again. The setting takes effect when you turn the printer back on.

Notes

• 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.

Installed memory	16M	32M	112M
1 square	30KB	30KB	30KB
5 squares	0.9MB	4.3MB	21.4MB
15 squares	3.0MB	15.0MB	75.0MB

The Input buffer size increases proportionally.

SAVE SETTINGS

Suppose you share this printer with others who want different control panel settings.

Since more than one set of user settings can be stored in the printer's memory, you can easily reset the printer to your preferred settings after they are changed. For resetting the printer, see “RESET Button” in this chapter.

Use the control panel to set the configuration of the printer to meet 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 a list of the settings with the Test button. See “TEST Button” in this chapter.

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 then automatically moves to “exit MODE” menu.

EXIT MODE

When you finish setting your desired option in the mode menus, advance to the following message:

MODE exit MODE

Press the Set button to exit from the mode menus to the off-line ready state.

Note

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

FONT Button

Pressing the Font button allows you to select fonts and symbol/character sets.

Notes

When you use the Font button, note the following:

• The Font button is effective in the HP PCL5C, EPSON FX-850, and IBM Proprinter XL modes. However the settings are subject to the current emulation mode. Note that the Font button 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 button. The software or command setting overrides the button setting.
• If you want to use optional fonts instead of the printer's resident fonts, be sure to install a font cartridge/card that has your preferred 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 cartridge/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 PCL5C mode or BR-Script 2 mode when a card is installed. See “DEVICE OPERATION.”

FORM FEED Button (REPRINT Button)

The Form Feed button works in two ways according to the Data LED status.

Form Feed

When the printer is off-line and there is data remaining in the printer memory, the Data LED comes on. Pressing the Form Feed button executes a form feed and prints the remaining data.

If you set the number of copies with the Copy button and press the Sel button during copy printing, the printer suspends the form feed operation.

Pressing the Sel button again resumes the form feed operation.

If no data remains in the printer memory and you press the Form Feed button, the printer ignores this button operation.

Note

If you want the printer to print the remaining data automatically, you can set the auto form feed function with the Mode button. See “AUTO FORMFEED” in this chapter.

Reprint Function

You can reprint the last print job without sending it from the computer again. When you press the Form Feed button with the Data LED off, the printer reprints the pages of the last print job. You can use this function to recover printing when a paper jam has occurred.

After printing is finished, set the printer off-line and press the Form Feed button once, so that the printer prints the pages of the last print job. However, if there is not enough memory to keep all the pages of the last print job, the printer will print only the last page of the last job.

When you press the Form Feed button one or more times during reprinting, you can set the number of copies to reprint. The printer reprints the last job the number of times you press the button.

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 memory.

You can set 4 attributes (Proof, Public, Private and Print only) for each documentation through the printer driver. Documents which have the Proof, Public or Private attributes set will be stored in the HDD and you can re-print these documents whenever you like.

When you want to print a document which is stored in the HDD, you can do collated printing of multiple copies of the document.

When the printer is idle and the optional HDD is installed, when you press the FormFeed button, the printer displays the following messages.

Display Message	Function
PROOF	The data sent will be printed and stored in the HDD.Anybody can re-print the data from the control panel or the browser.When the HDD becomes full, or the number of documents stored exceeds the document save limit number, the excess documents will be deleted starting from the oldest ones.Anybody can delete the data from the control panel or the browser.
PUBLIC	The data sent will be stored in the HDD. (not printed)Anybody can re-print the data from the control panel or the browser.Anybody can delete the data manually from the control panel or the browser.
PRIVATE	The data and password sent will be stored in the HDD. (not printed)You can print the data by inputting the password you set from the control panel or the browser.You need to input the password you set when you want to delete the data you stored in the HDD from the control panel or the browser.

This function works as follows.

graph TD
    A["Proof"] --> B["User 1 → Document 1 → Action = Print / Delete → Collate = ON/OFF → Copies = ###<br>    (when 'Print' is set)"]
    B --> C["Document2 →"]

    L --> M["Document2 →"]
    L --> N["Document3 →"]
    L --> O["User 2 → Document 1 →"]
    O --> P["exit"]

CONTINUE Button

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

The function of this button varies according to the CONTINUE mode set with the Mode button.

Since the CONTINUE mode has been factory set to MANUAL, you need to press the Continue button to recover from a printer error message. If you set the mode to AUTO, the printer attempts to resume the printing operation without the need to press the Continue button.

For more information, see “CONTINUE MODE” in this chapter.

Note

The Continue button is not a cure-all. The printer cannot recover from some errors. Take corrective action, referring to the error message. See “TROUBLESHOOTING” in Chapter 6.

BUTTONS IN SHIFT MODE

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

Copy Pages Orientation Feeder Emulation Mode Power K C M Y Ready On Line Data Alarm Feeder Emulation Economy Test Shift Copy Reset

Fig. 4-8 Buttons in SHIFT Mode

Note

The factory settings are printed in bold in this section.

SHIFT Button

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

EMULATION Button

This factory setting for the automatic emulation selection function is ON. The printer will select the emulation mode automatically when it receives data from the computer.

To set the emulation mode manually, hold down the Shift button and press the Emulation button. Then enter the setting mode to change the emulation.

To set the emulation mode, follow these steps:

1. Press the Sel button to take the printer off-line.
2. Hold down the Shift button and press the Emulation button. When you enter the setting mode, the display first shows the current emulation mode with an asterisk.
3. Press the ▲ or ▼ button until the emulation mode you want appears on the display.

Display Message	Emulation Mode
AUTO	Auto Emulation Selection
HP PCL5C	HP PCL5C
BR-Script 2	BR-Script level 2 mode
HP-GL	HP-GL Plotter Mode
EPSON FX-850	EPSON FX-850
IBM ProprinterXL	IBM Proprinter XL

1. Press the Set button to make the displayed selection effective. When you select any specific emulation mode other than "AUTO," for a short time an asterisk appears at the end of the display. Then the printer automatically exits from the setting mode to the off-line mode.

When you select “AUTO,” the sub-item “Time Out” for the automatic emulation selection appears on the display. Go to the next step.

1. Set "Time Out" with the ▲ or ▼ button.

This time out is the duration during which the printer will not allow another automatic emulation change. You can set it from 1 second to 99 seconds: the factory setting is 5 seconds.

1. Press the Set button.

The next sub-item “EPSON/IBM” appears on the display.

1. Select EPSON or IBM with the ▲ or ▼ button.

Since the printer cannot distinguish between the EPSON and IBM emulation modes, you must select the EPSON or IBM emulation even in AUTO mode.

When the printer receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the emulation mode in any of the following combinations:

EPSON/IBM Priority	EPSON	IBM
Auto Selection Mode	HP PCL5C	HP PCL5C
	BR-Script 2	BR-Script 2
	HP-GL	HP-GL
	EPSON FX-850	IBM Proprinter XL

1. Press the Set button.

The next sub-item “KEEP PCL” appears on the display.

This function is for permanent macros and fonts downloaded in the HP PCL5C mode.

1. Turn on or off the "KEEP PCL" function with the ▲ or ▼ button.

When you do not need to keep the permanent macros and fonts used in HP PCL5C mode, turn this function off. When you want to keep them, you can turn it on.

If the function is turned on, the downloaded macros and fonts are kept in the printer's memory until the printer is turned off, so that they are not cleared by changing the emulation to BR-Script 2 mode.

Note

The “KEEP PCL” function reserves free space in the printer’s memory and may cause a memory full error. If a memory full error occurs, expand the memory capacity or turn off this function.

1. Press the Set button.

The “exit” message appears on the display.

1. Press the Set button again.

The printer exits from the setting mode to the off-line state.

Note

When you use the automatic emulation selection, try it with your application software or network server. If the function does not work properly, select a particular emulation mode manually. You can use the following commands to select the emulation on a network.

Commands	Hex	Emulation
ESC CR H	1B 0D 48	HP PCL5C
ESC CR AB	1B 0D 41 42	BR-Script 2

About Emulation Modes

This printer has the following emulation modes:

■ HP PCL5C Mode

This printer emulates Hewlett-Packard PCL5C color printers and PCL6 monochrome printers. This is the default emulation setting of the printer. Since many popular software packages support this emulation, this may be the best choice for general use.

■ BR-Script 2 Mode (color)

BR-Script is a Brother original page description language and it is a PostScript® language emulation interpreter. This printer has level 2 BR-Script, which supports full color printing at 600 dpi. BR-Script enables superior control for text and graphics printing. The HL2400Ce will deliver optimum performance in this mode.

Average users do not need to know much about PostScript ^® language. If you want to obtain technical information about PostScript ^® , please refer to 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 (monochrome)

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 (monochrome)

The EPSON FX-850 and IBM Proprinter XL emulations allow the HL-2400Ce to support the printer control language of industry-standard dot matrix printers..

ECONOMY Button

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 lighter.

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.

When you turn on the power save mode with the Set button, the display shows the next sub-setting menu.

You must set the time out for the power save mode from 1 to 99 minutes with the ▲ or ▼ button: 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 on, the printer automatically 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 slightly longer time to start printing the first page.

FEEDER Button

You can select the feeder and manual feed mode with the Feeder button.

Display Message	Feeder
FEEDER=AUTO	Select a feeder or auto paper feed.
MANUAL MODE=ON	Enable/disable the manual feed mode.
MEDIA TYPE	Select print media
SMALL SIZE	Set the small paper size detection for paper sizes under B5(JIS)

You can check the current feeder.

When you want to change settings with the Feeder button, hold down the Shift button and press the Feeder button. 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 button to take the printer off-line.
2. Hold down the Shift button and press the Feeder button. When you enter the setting mode, the display first shows the current feeder setting with the asterisk.
3. Press the ▲ or ▼ button until the feeder you want appears on the display.

Display Message	Paper Feed Method/Paper Source
FEEDER=AUTO	Auto paper feed
FEEDER=TRAY1	Upper Media Cassette (Tray 1)
FEEDER=TRAY2	Optional Lower Media Cassette (Tray 2)

Notes

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 both paper trays allows your print job to continue without error if one of the paper trays becomes empty. The printer automatically will select the other tray when one tray becomes empty.
• When you select FEEDER=AUTO, the printer automatically searches for the paper size you set with the Mode button in the PAGE FORMAT mode and then loads the paper from the paper source that contains the selected size of paper. If the upper and lower Media Cassettes contain different sizes of paper and one Media Cassette runs out of paper, the printer stops printing without automatically changing to the other paper source to feed paper. It prevents the incorrect 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 Tray 2) we recommended that you change the feeder setting from AUTO to Tray 1. This will pause the printer when a paper empty condition occurs, allowing you to load the correct type of paper. Press Select to finish the print job.

• Press the Set button to make the displayed selection effective. When you select “TRAY 1” or “TRAY 2,” for a short time an asterisk appears at the end of the display. Then the “exit” message appears on the display. Press the Set button again, so 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.

• Change the tray combination and priority with the ▲ or ▼ button.

When “AUTO=T1>T2” is set, both Tray 1 and the Tray 2 are selected but tray 1 will be selected first if the paper size in tray 1 and the page size for the print job match each other. (If you are using the optional Lower Tray and want to give priority to Tray 2, you can use the “AUTO=T2>T1” setting.)

1. Press the Set button.

MANUAL MODE

This printer has no manual feed tray or multi-purpose tray. Therefore you cannot feed special paper in the usual way. However this printer has a special Manual Feed Mode with Tray 1 to accommodate non-standard paper sizes. When “MANUAL MODE=ON” is selected or a manual feed command is sent to the printer, the printer will wait for you to replace the paper in Tray 1 with the paper for manual printing.

1. Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select the manual mode on or off.
2. Press the Set button to make the setting effective.

MEDIA TYPE

When you use anything other than ordinary plain paper (such as thick bond paper, envelope, or transparency), the appropriate media type must be selected in the media type mode to get the best print quality.

1. Press the Set button to enter the media type mode. The display then shows the current setting with an asterisk.
2. Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select regular, thick paper or transparency then press the Set button to make the setting effective.

Note

Please do not forget to change the setting back to regular after you have printed on your special media with the setting changed.

SMALL SIZE

This printer can detect the size of paper in the trays automatically. If there is no paper loaded as specified by the user application, the printer prompts the user to load the correct size paper by displaying “LOAD PAPER XX SIZE” on the LCD panel. The printer can detect A4, Letter, Executive, Legal (only in Optional Legal Cassette) and B5(ISO), but not A5, B5(JIS), COM10 and DL size even though they can be handled. For this reason, it is necessary to change the detection size for paper smaller than B5.

1. Press the Set button to enter the small size mode. The display then shows the current setting with an asterisk. Then select "T1" or "T2".
2. Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select B5 (JIS), B5 (ISO), A5, COM10 or DL then press the Set button to make the setting effective. (B5 (JIS) and B5 (ISO) only for “T2”.)

COPY Button

You can set the number of copies to print of the same page with the Copy button. The job will print faster than choosing the copy print quantity from within your application software. Check the current setting on the display.

When the number of copies has been set to 3, the display may look as follows:

LJ READY 003P T1 AUTO

Note

If you send too many pages to be stored in the printer memory, part or all of the set of pages or copies may not be printed.

To set the number of copies, follow these steps:

1. Press the Sel button to take the printer off-line.

2. Hold down the Shift button and press the Copy button. When you enter the setting mode, the display first shows the current setting with the asterisk.

3. Press the ▲ or ▼ button until the desired number appears on the display.

Display Message	# of Copies to Print Same Pages
COPY PAGES= 1	1 page
COPY PAGES= 2	2 pages
...	...
COPY PAGES=999	999 pages (max.)

1. Press the Set button to make the displayed selection effective. For a short time an asterisk appears at the end of the display. The printer then automatically exits from the setting mode to the off-line state.

RESET Button

You can reset the printer with the Reset button. The print data that the printer has already received from the computer is cleared and the printer settings are restored to the user settings or factory settings.

Any temporary download fonts and macro settings selected with commands in HP PCL5C mode are also cleared.

Note

• Discard the used consumables according to local regulations. If you are not sure of them, consult your local dealer/retailer. Be sure to re-seal the consumables tightly so that the material inside does not spill out. Do not discard used consumables together with domestic waste.
• We recommend placing used consumables on a piece of paper or cloth to prevent an accidental spill or scatter of the material inside.

Note

• If you use paper that is not a direct equivalent for the specified paper, consumable and part life may be reduced.
• The Projected Life for each of the items listed are based on an average of 5% coverage of the printable area using any color toner cartridge. Frequency of replacement will vary depending on the complexity of printed pages, percent coverage and media type used.

Toner Cartridges

Caution

We strongly recommend using genuine Brother toner cartridges. Using generic or refilled toner cartridges may void the warranty for this printer.

Toner Nearly Empty Message

Check printed pages, page counter, and display messages periodically. If the ■ indicator starts blinking (□), the printer has nearly run out of toner or the toner is not evenly distributed inside the cartridge.

K C M Y

*K stands for Black, C stands for Cyan, M stands for Magenta and Y stands for Yellow.

Although you can print approximately 300 (Black) and 500 (Cyan, Magenta and Yellow) additional pages (at 5% coverage) after the toner low message first appears, be sure to replace the toner cartridge with a new one before it becomes completely empty.

Paper Handling

Question	Recommendation
The printer does not load paper.	·Check to see if the Alarm LED is on. If so, the Media Cassette may be out of paper or not properly installed. If it is empty, load a new stack of paper into the Media Cassette. ·If there is paper in the Media Cassette, make sure that 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 replace it in the paper tray. ·Reduce the stack of paper in the Media Cassette, then try again.
How can I load envelopes?	You can load envelopes from the Media Cassette. Make sure you adjust the paper guide. Your application software also 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 applications manual for further information.
What paper can I use?	See ‘Paper Handling’ in Chapter 3 for detailed paper specifications.
How can I clear paper jams?	See the “PAPER JAMS” section in this chapter.
The printer loads more than one sheet at a time.	Check to see if: ·The paper loaded is all the same type. ·Paper that meets the specifications is loaded. ·Papers were fanned before loading. ·The stack of paper is not too high. ·The side guide is not set too tight.

Printing

Question	Recommendation
The printer prints unexpectedly or it prints incorrect characters.	Cancel the print job from your computer. Then, turn on and off the printer or reset the printer and try your print job again.Make sure your application software is correctly set up to use this printer and check the printer driver settings or printer settings in your application software.
The computer hangs up when the printer starts printing, or an application error occurs.	Check to see if the system resources are enough (PC memory, etc). When you have many applications open, the system resources of your PC will not be enough and your PC will hang up. Close applications you are not using and try again.
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. Adjust the top and bottom margins in your document to allow for this.
Printing takes too long.	When you print color graphic images, there is a large amount of data and the printer will take a relatively long time to complete printing.When you print in Super Fine mode, the printer will take a relatively long time to finish printing.When the Data LED is blinking, the printer is making itself ready to print. Printing speed depends on memory size or performance of your PC and memory size of the printer.
The printer doesn’t print in color	The printer may be set in monochrome mode.Check that the color toner(s) have not run out.

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 that cannot be arranged uniformly when placed in a pile

Notes

• An area 15 mm (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 desirable 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 you have selected a cotton bond paper, paper having a rough surface such as cockle or laid finished paper or paper that is wrinkled or puckered, these types of paper may exhibit degraded performance.

Note

The manufacturer does not warrant 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 pre-folded 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 TOAVOID” 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 that 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 ABOVEMAY 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.
