PRINTER SETTINGS FACTORY SETTINGS The printer settings have been set at the factory before shipment. They are called “Factory settings.” Although you can operate the printer with these factory settings unchanged, you can tailor the printer 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 preset 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. 2-21

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. 3-1

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

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 commandés in your software. 3-2

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 bi- directional 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. 3-3

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.

APPENDIX 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: Highly textured paper Smooth or shiny paper Paper that is coated or has a chemical finish Damaged, wrinkled or pre-folded paper Paper exceeding the recommend weight specification specified in the manual Paper with tabs and staples Letterheads using low temperature dyes or thermography 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. DND HPBSN = A-6

APPENDIX 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

3. Envelopes of “baggy” construction or with folds that are not sharply

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

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 recommendés 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. A-7

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. A-8
