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 3	BR-Script 3
	HP-GL	HP-GL
	EPSON FX-850	IBM Proprinter XL

To get the best possible color output, 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 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 in 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 computer, please refer to your user's manual for your computer or application software.

Note

When you use 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 that 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.

Note

The Ozone Filter does not have an LCD message indicator. However, you will need to replace it once a year.

*1 - at 5 % coverage print (A4-Letter size).

Note

The toner cartridges shipped with the printer are starter cartridges. Each starter cartridge will produce approximately 7,000 pages (Black) and 4,250 A4 pages (Cyan, Magenta and Yellow).

*2 - For example, if the Cyan and Magenta toner cartridges are almost empty, the indication will be “■□□■” (□ = blinking ■)

KCMY

If the Cyan and Magenta toner cartridges are empty, the indicator will have disappeared.

3 - To replace the Paper Feeding Roller, the Separator Pad, the Transfer Drum and the Oil Pad, consult your local dealer/retailer or Service provider.
4 - Definition of pages: actual output page number. Definition of images: If the image on a page contains only one color of either Cyan, Magenta, Yellow or Black => 1 image, two colors => 2 images, three colors => 3 images, four colors => 4 images.

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 the material inside does not spill. Do not discard used consumables together with domestic waste.
• When removing toner cartridges, we recommend placing them on a piece of paper to prevent accidentally spilling or scattering toner on your work surface.

Note

• If you use paper that is not within the paper specifications, 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.

KCMY

*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. When this occurs, the indicator on the LCD panel will disappear.

Toner Empty Message

When the following messages appear on the LCD panel and the printer stops printing, you need to replace the Toner Cartridge(s):

TONER EMPTY

Replacing the Toner Cartridges

! Caution

When replacing the Toner Cartridges, handle them carefully so that toner does not spill.

Note

To ensure optimum print quality, use genuine Brother toner cartridges. Third party toner cartridges may not work in your printer.

To obtain genuine Brother supplies, consult the dealer where you purchased the printer.

To replace the toner cartridge(s), follow these steps:

1. Open the Front Cover of the printer.
2. Remove the Toner Cartridge(s) that has run out of toner. Pull the Toner Cartridge out slightly with one hand, then hold the Toner Cartridge with both hands and pull it out of the printer.
3. After rocking each new Toner Cartridge 3 to 4 times from side to side, remove the tape labeled 'REMOVE' and the orange protective cover from the new Toner Cartridge.

Fig. 5-1

1. Insert the new Toner Cartridge(s) by positioning it in the correct guide(s). Slide it gently into the printer. Do not try to lock or push it in; it should rest loosely in the guide rails. Note that each color cartridge is individually keyed to prevent improper installation. Match each cartridge color label to the corresponding label on the printer.

Fig. 5-2

1. Close the Front Cover.

! Caution

• Insert the toner cartridges gently into the printer. Do not try to lock them into place by pushing them. Toner cartridges should rest loosely in the guide rails; they will be correctly positioned when the front cover is closed.
• The printer may be damaged or may not work correctly if you install consumables other than genuine Brother supplies or if you use refilled toner cartridges. This could void your warranty.
• Do not stand the toner cartridge on its end or turn it upside down.
  Install the toner cartridges immediately after you remove the protective cover. Do not touch the shaded area shown below:

Fig. 5-3

OIL BOTTLE

Oil Bottle Low Message

When the Oil has almost run out, the following message appears on the LCD panel. Obtain a new Oil Bottle to replace the nearly empty bottle. After this message appears, you can print approximately 30 pages:

FUSER OIL LOW READY

Oil Bottle Empty Message

When the Oil completely runs out, the following message appears on the LCD panel and the printer stops printing. When you see this message, you must replace the Oil Bottle with a new one:

OIL EMPTY

Replace the oil bottle

Occasionally you may encounter a difficulty with your HL-3450CN printer. This section contains frequently asked questions and the answers. Find your question below, and then follow the recommended steps. You can correct most problems yourself.

SETTING UP THE PRINTER HARDWARE

Question	Recommendation
The printer does not come on.	Check to verify the following; The printer is securely plugged into the AC outlet. The power source is active. The power button is on.
The printer does not print.	Check the following: The printer is turned On. The printer is Online. All of the protective parts have been removed. All the covers of the printer are closed. The toner cartridges are installed correctly. The ‘toner empty’ message is not displayed on the LCD. If one or more toner empty indicators are on, replace the toner cartridges. The interface cable is securely connected between the printer and computer. The Alarm LED is blinking. If the LED is blinking, refer to the Error Messages section of this manual. The HL-3450CN printer is selected in the printer settings in your application. The host is configured correctly: check printer port, print manager, etc. (clear stored job or ‘use print manager’ is turned off). There is no jammed paper inside the printer. Paper is loaded in the Paper Cassette. An Error message is not displayed.

SETTING UP THE PRINTER

Question	Recommendation
I cannot print from my application software.	Make sure that the supplied Windows printer driver is installed correctly and selected in your application software.
I cannot print the entire page.	Check that the size of paper in the feeder is the same as the paper size you selected in your application or in the printer driver. Check that the interface cable is connected to the printer and computer securely.
Computer indicates a device time-out.	If the Alarm LED is blinking, clear it referring to the 'Alarm Indications at a Glance' section in this chapter, and then try to print again. If the Alarm LED is off, wait a short while and then click the Retry button in the PC screen dialog box. Check that the printer is On Line.
Computer indicates Paper Empty.	Paper is empty. Load paper in the Feeder, and then press Go to recover from the error status.
Computer indicates Off Line	Press Go to put the printer in the Ready state.
Computer indicates Power Off	Check that the printer is securely plugged into the AC outlet and that the Power button is On.
Computer indicates an error message other than above.	Check to verify the following; • The computer can work in bi-directional mode. • The printer port is correct. • Selection of the printer is correct. • Recommended interface cable is being used. (IEEE 1284 compliant) Or, select the 'Control' tag in the driver and set the 'Status Monitor' to off.
If you install the printer driver for your HL-3450CN using the Plug & Play installation, the installation may fail sometimes and display the error dialog box as shown:C:\WINDOWS\BR00002.txtOK	Please reinstall the printer driver by clicking the 'Add Printer' icon in the Settings-Printer dialog box.

PAPER HANDLING

Question	Recommendation
The printer does not load paper.	Check to see if the Alarm LED is on. If so, the Paper Cassette may be out of paper or not properly installed. If it is empty, load a new stack of paper into the Paper Cassette. If there is paper in the Paper 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 then reload it in the paper tray. Reduce the stack of paper in the Paper Cassette, and then try again.
How can I load envelopes?	You can load envelopes from the Paper Cassette (Tray 1). 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 more information.
Which 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 feeds more than one sheet at a time.	Check to verify the following: • The paper loaded is all the same type. • Paper that meets the specifications is loaded. • Paper stack was fanned before loading. • The stack of paper is not too high. • The side guide is not set too tight.
Paper skews while feeding.	Check to verify the following: • The side guide is adjusted correctly. • The amount of paper you loaded is correct. Refer to the 'PAPER SPECIFICATIONS' section in APPENDIX.
Sometimes mis-picking of paper from the paper tray or mis-feeding of paper from the paper exit occurs.	Clean the Paper Guide, the Registration Roller and the Exit Roller referring to 'Periodical Printer Cleaning' in Chapter 5.

PRINTING

Question	Recommendation
The printer prints unexpectedly or it prints incorrect characters.	• Cancel the print job from your computer. Then, turn the printer off and on, or reset the printer and try your print job again. • Make sure your application software is correctly set up to use this printer. 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 that 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 will cause your PC to hang up. Close applications you are not using and try again.
The headers or footers appear when I view my document on the screen but do not show up when I print them.	Most laser printers have a restricted area that cannot be printed. Adjust the top and bottom margins in your document to allow for this.
Printing takes too long.	• Color graphic images contain 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 getting ready to print. Print 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 to monochrome mode. • Check that the color toner(s) have not run out.

• 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 large quantities to ensure that it provides the desired performance. Some important guidelines when selecting paper are:

1. The 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, be aware that 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. Multi-part 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 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 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 paper that exceeds the paper weight specifications for the printer
2. Poorly manufactured envelopes with edges that are not straight or consistently square
3. Envelopes of "baggy" construction or with 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 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 envelopes lies with the customer.

LABELS AND OVERHEAD TRANSPARENCIES

The printer will print on most types 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 of the fusing unit. Adhesives should not touch any part of the printer because the label stock may stick to the drum or rollers, which would 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 can 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.
