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 colored 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 colored insulation to expose the wires.

The wire which is colored 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 colored green or green and yellow.

The wire which is colored blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “N” or colored black or blue.

SOFTWARE FOR NETWORKS

BRAdmin Professional

BRAdmin professional is a utility for managing your Brother network enabled printers that are running under Windows 95/98/Me, Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0. It allows you to easily configure and check the status of your network-enabled printer.

Storage Manager

Brother Storage Manager software can manipulate the printer forms that you may have stored in a CompactFlash or 2.5" HDD.

You can print a fixed form document at any time from the control panel.

To make a fixed document, you must write Fonts, Macros, or fixed forms to the Storage Device of your printer.

Analysis Tool Software

By adding a HDD or CompactFlash Card to the printer, you can obtain print logs by enabling the log function with the embedded web management. Then you can gain cost analysis capability by loading these print logs into the Analysis Tool Software.

Analysis Tool Software is a 32-bit Windows application designed to manage important information about a print job, such as the username, job name and number of printed pages. Using this software, you can easily associate printing costs with users or groups of users.

Driver Deployment Wizard

Save time and effort by using the Brother Driver Deployment Wizard software to automate the installation and configuration of Brother networked printers in a TCP/IP environment.

Use the Wizard to configure the printer TCP/IP settings and to specify the Printer driver to be used. The Wizard can then create an Executable file that can be e-mailed to other network users. When run, the Executable file installs the appropriate printer driver and network print software directly on the remote PC.

To access the Driver Deployment Wizard, insert the CD-ROM supplied with the printer into your CD-ROM drive, click the Install Software icon, and then select the Driver Deployment Wizard.

SOFTWARE FOR WINDOWS COMPUTERS

You can install the Software from the supplied CD-ROM as follows:

1. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. The opening screen appears automatically. Follow the instructions on the screen.
2. Click the Install Software icon on the Menu screen.
3. Click "Printer Driver", and then follow the on screen instructions. The printer driver will complete the installation.

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 with user settings. Please see “List of Factory Settings” in Chapter 4.

Note

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

The changed user settings can be restored to the default factory settings with the RESET MENU mode. For more information, see Chapter 4.

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 from the following combinations:

EPSON (Default)	IBM
HP LaserJet	HP LaserJet
BR-Script 3	BR-Script 3
HP-GL	HP-GL
EPSON FX-850	IBM Proprinter XL

To get the most out of this laser printer, we recommend that you use the Brother BR-Script 3 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, in most cases you can start using the printer as it is with the factory settings.

Note

Emulation modes other than PCL5C and BR-Script 3 are monochrome emulation modes.

You can select the emulation mode manually by using the control panel to access the EMULATION menu in SETUP mode. For more information, see Chapter 4.

Note

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

• The EPSON or IBM emulation mode priority must be selected, because the printer cannot distinguish between them. Since the factory setting is EPSON emulation mode, you might need to select the IBM emulation mode by using the control panel to access the EMULATION menu in SETUP mode.
• Try Automatic emulation selection with your application software or network server. If it does not work properly, select the emulation mode manually by using either the printer control panel or the 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 IEEE 1284 Parallel or USB interface whichever is appropriate.

When you use the parallel interface, you can turn the high-speed and bidirectional parallel communications on or off by using the control panel to access the PARALLEL menu in INTERFACE mode. For more information, see 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 necessary, select the interface or the serial communications parameters manually by using the control panel to access the INTERFACE mode. For more information, see Chapter 4. For the settings on your the computer, please refer to your user's manual for your computer or application software.

Note

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

- This function takes a few seconds to work. If you want to speed up printing, select the required interface manually by using the control panel to access the SELECT menu in INTERFACE mode.

If you typically use only one interface, we recommend you select that interface in the INTERFACE mode. If only one interface is selected, the printer will allocate the entire input buffer to that interface.

The Printable Area depends on the settings in your application. The figure below shows the physical printable area and non-guaranteed print area for the various types of paper that can be used with this printer.

Cut Sheets

Fig. 3-1

Note

If you use paper that does not meet the specifications listed in this User's Guide, the life of the various consumables and parts may be reduced.

Envelopes

Avoid using envelopes with the following characteristics:

Glossy or shiny surfacesProtective cover on the envelopes' adhesive partsSealing flaps that have not been folded at purchaseSealing flaps as shown below
Three or more layers of paper in the marked area
Each side folded as shown below

Fig. 3-2

Before loading envelopes in the cassette, check the following:

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

Fig. 3-3 Feeding Direction

• Envelope joints that are sealed by the manufacturer should be secure.
• All sides should be properly folded without any wrinkles or creases.
• Print quality may vary among different styles of envelopes. Prior to purchasing large quantities, it is a good idea to test the envelopes you plan to use.

CASSETTE FEED

The printer can feed paper from the Paper Cassette, Optional Lower Paper Tray or Optional Legal Cassette.

Note

When you load paper into the Paper Cassette, note the following:

• 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 printer driver or by using the control panel.
• The paper size has been factory set to letter for 120V models or A4 for 220/240V models. If you want to use other sizes of paper or envelopes, change the paper size setting in PAGE FORMAT MODE, which is in FORMAT MODE by using the control panel. For paper size selection, see “PRINT MENU” 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 up and the top edge of the paper at the back of the cassette.

The printer automatically detects the paper size you have loaded into the Paper Cassette. If you load a different size of paper into the paper cassette from the size that is selected, by using the control panel or in your application software you can change the paper size setting, the printer will prompt you to load the correct size of paper as follows:

SIZE MISMATCH

Paper mismatch between the Printer and the Printer Driver setting. Load Paper size into Tray <1/2>

MANUAL FEED

Since this printer does not have a manual feed or multi purpose tray, you cannot manually feed irregular sized paper. However, this printer has a special “Manual Feed” mode using Tray 1 (upper tray) to accommodate non-standard paper sizes. You can select this mode with the printer driver or the control panel.

See “PAPER” in Chapter 4 for more information on selecting this setting using the printer Control Panel.

1. When the manual feed command is selected, the printer waits until you load the paper in Tray 1.

MANUAL FEED =ON

1. Pull out Tray 1 and load the paper you are going to use. It may be necessary to remove some or all of the paper stack first, depending on the size of paper in the tray and the size of the paper you wish to print on manually.

2. Re-install Tray 1 and press Go. The printer will then start printing.

Note

• Print quality may be affected by the type of paper you use and the print image.
• You may experience poor paper feeding during Duplex printing.
• This machine is not designed for continuous Duplex printing.
• During manual duplex printing, if you leave the printer for more than 5 minutes after the first side has been printed, the printer will reset the function automatically.

Printing PROOF Data

You can use this function to reprint PROOF data that has just been printed if it has no security settings. Documents that are placed in the PROOF area are available to anyone. This function can also be used for a document that will be moved to a public folder at a later date.

When the area to spool data becomes full, the earliest data will be automatically deleted first. The order of deleting data is not connected to the order of reprinting.

When you reprint PROOF data, refer also to “Operations for printing SECURE data” in this chapter.

Notes

• If you have not installed the optional HDD or CompactFlash, the reprint data will be deleted when the printer is turned off.
• If there is data in the job information that cannot be displayed on the LCD, the display shows “?”.
• For more information about the settings in the printer driver, see “Job Spooling” in Chapter 2.

Printing PUBLIC Data

You can use this function to reprint documents stored in a PUBLIC area of the printer memory. Documents here will not be password protected and anyone can access them using the control panel or a web browser. The printer will not print a PUBLIC document when you send it to the printer. You must print using the control panel of the printer or connect to the printer through a web browser.

Public data can be deleted using the control panel of the printer or from the web-based management software.

When you reprint PUBLIC data, refer also to “Operations for Printing SECURE Data” in this chapter.

Notes

• If there is data in the job information that cannot be displayed on the LCD, the display shows “?”.
• For more information about the settings in the printer driver, see "Job Spooling" in Chapter 2.

Printing SECURE Data

Secure documents are password protected and only those people that know the password will be able to print the document. The printer will not print the document when you send it for printing; to print the document you must print using the control panel of the printer (with password) or connect to the printer using a web browser.

If you want to delete the spooled data, you can carry out this operation using the control panel or in the web-based management software.

Notes

• If there is data in the job information that cannot be displayed on the LCD, the display shows “?”.
• For more information about the settings in the printer driver, see “Job Spooling” in Chapter 2.

COMPACTFLASH CARD / HDD CARD (HD-6G/HD-EX)

This printer has a slot for optional CompactFlash card. If you install an optional CompactFlash card or HDD card, you can save macros, print log and fonts on it, and also select your print job and reprint it through the network. If you have installed an optional font card, you can use the fonts stored in it as well as the resident fonts. For optional font cards, consult the dealer where you purchased the printer.

Note

• Do not install or remove a card with the power on because you may lose all data and may seriously damage the card.
• For more information about these cards, consult the dealer where you purchased the printer.
• For the latest information: http://solutions.brother.com

Selecting the Optional Fonts

After you have installed the optional font card, you can select optional fonts using any of the following methods:

1. Through your application software
2. With a font selection command
3. With the Control Panel menu functions.

When you select fonts through your application software, follow the instructions specific to your software. Refer to your software manual if you need assistance. When you select fonts with a font selection command, embed the font selection command in your program. See the Technical Reference Manual, which is optionally available for this printer.

Note

When you select the fonts through your software or with a command, note the following:

• You do not need to be concerned about the Font control panel setting. The software or command overrides the printer setting.
• 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 have set through the software or with a command. If the installed font card does not happen to have a font of similar characteristics, the printer will print in an unexpected font.

To select fonts with the Control Panel setting menu, follow these basic steps:

1. Press any of the Menu buttons (+, -, Set or Back) to take the printer Off Line.
2. Press + or – until “INFORMATION” appears on the LCD display.
3. Press Set to proceed to the next menu level, and then press + or – until "PRINT FONTS" appears.
4. Press Set to print the list of optional fonts (Fig. 5-77).
5. Find the Font Number on the list.

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

Note

• An area 15mm (0.6") from the edges of the envelope will not be printed.
• Avoid feeding labels with the carrier sheet exposed because your printer will be damaged.
• When feeding Transparencies, 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 Brother 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 purchasing to ensure 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 paper must use inks that can withstand the temperature of the printer's 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, the 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 may 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 PAPER 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 leading edge. The envelope should lie flat and not be of 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 of 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 made with smooth or shiny paper.
6. Envelopes that are rough, highly textured, or deeply embossed.
7. Envelopes that do not lie flat or that are curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped.
8. 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 this User's Guide. Labels and transparencies exceeding this specification may not feed or print properly and may cause damage to your printer.

Labels can be fed from Tray 1 and Tray 2, and printed using the optional Duplex Unit. Transparencies can be fed from Tray 1 only and cannot be printed using the Duplex Unit.

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.
