This mode is effective when you print photographic images. High Resolution Control (HRC) The High Resolution Control (HRC) technology provides clear and crisp printouts and improves even the 600-dpi resolution. This mode is effective when you print text. Maintenance-Free and Economical Toner Cartridge The toner cartridge can print up to 10,000 (Black) and 6,000 (Cyan, Magenta and Y ellow) single-sided pages at 5% coverage. This printer uses one piece, easy-to-replace toner cartridges. Universal Media Cassette This printer loads paper automatically from the media cassette. Since the media cassette is a universal type, a number of different sizes of paper can be used. Even envelopes can be loaded from the media cassette. For detailed paper specifications, see ‘Paper Handling’ in Chapter 3.

Three Interfaces This printer has a high speed bi-directional parallel interface, an RS-232C serial interface and a moduler input/output (MIO) compatible interface. If your application software supports the bi-directional parallel interface, you can monitor the printer status. It is fully compatible with the industry-standard bi-directional parallel interface. The RS-232C serial interface is an industry standard so that you can connect it to any computer using a standard serial cable. The MIO interface allows you to install a commercial MIO-compatible card. If you install the card, you can use one more interface port for features such as networking or printer sharing. Automatic Interface Selection This printer can automatically select the bi-directional parallel, RS-232C serial or MIO interface depending on the interface port through which it receives data. With this feature, the printer can be connected to more than one computer. Five Emulation Modes This printer can emulate the Hewlett-Packard® Color PCL® 5C ( PCL6® in monochrome printing) printers, PostScript® Level 2 language emulation (Brother BR-Script Level 2) printers, the industry-standard HP- GL* plotter as well as EPSON® FX-850", and IBM® Proprinter X L® printers (in monochrome printing). Y ou can print with all application programs that support one of these printers. Automatic Emulation Selection This printer can automatically select the printer emulation mode depending on the print commands it receives from the computer software. With this feature, many users can share the printer on a network. Data Compression Technology This printer can internally compress the received graphics and font data in its memory so that it can print larger graphics and more fonts without additional memory.

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 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 states, the display reads as follows: Emulation Status Display in Ready State HP PCL5C LJ READY 001P T1 BR-Script 2 BS IDLE O01P 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.

USER'S GUIDE - 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, as the printer cannot distinguish between them. Since the factory setting is the EPSON emulation mode, you might need to select the IBM emulation mode with the Emulation button when you need to use this emulation.. < Try this function with your application software or network server. If the function does not work propery, select the required emulation mode manually using the printer panel buttons or use emulation selection commands from your software.

This printer has an automatic interface selection function. When the printer receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the bi- directional parallel, RS-232C serial interface or MIO interface as appropriate. When you use the parallel interface, you can turn the high-speed and bi- directional parallel communications on or off with the Mode button. For further 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. When you use the serial interface, you need to have the same communications settings on both the printer and computer. Since the automatic interface selection mode has been factory set with certain settings, you may be able to simply connect the interface cable to the printer if your computer has the settings listed below. Communications Parameters Factory Settings Baud rate (data transfer speed) 9600 Code type (data length) 8 bits Parity (data error check) None Stop bit (data separator) 1 stop bit Xon/X off (handshake protocol) ON

Robust X on 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 further information, see “MODE Button” in Chapter 4. For the settings on the computer, see the manual of the computer or application software you are using.

USER'S GUIDE - 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/X off, DTR(ER), and Robust X on] 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. This function takes a few seconds to work. If you want to speed up printing, select the required interface manually with the Mode button. If you constantly use only one interface, we recommend that you select that interface in the interface mode. The printer allocates all of the input buffer to that interface if only one interface is selected.

USER'S GUIDE 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 1/0 Extended 1/0 interface I/F=AUTO Auto interface selection Select the setting menu and enter the sub-setting menu to change the setting as follows: BAutomatic Interface Selection When you select this function with the Set button, the display shows the next sub-setting menu. Y ou need to set the time out for the auto interface selection from 1 to 99 seconds with the À or Y 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 need to set the communications parameters for the serial interface, high speed/bi- directional communications for the parallel interface, and the optional interface settings if the installed MIO card requires them. See the tables below. For further information about automatic interface selection, see “AUTOMATIC INTERFACE SELECTION" in Chapter 3.

BParallel Interface When you use the parallel interface, you need to set the communications mode in the following sub-setting menu. Display Message High Speed and Bi-directional Parallel Communications HIGH SPEED=ON Tums on or off the high speed parallel communications. BI-DIR=ON Tums 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 need a printer driver or software that supports these features. Check with your software vendor to see if your software supports bi-directional parallel features. Serial Interface When you intend to use the serial interface, be sure to select the same communications parameters on both the printer and computer. Y ou must set them for the automatic interface selection, too.

- Notes When you make settings in PAGE FORMAT MODE, note the following: < The letter size has been factory set for 120V models. The A4 size has been factory set for 220/240V models. When you use a smaller size of paper than that specified in the PAGE FORMAT MODE, be sure that the print area is smaller than the paper size, or the inside of the printer will get stained with toner. Itis recommended that you perform a test before actual use: for this test, you could use letter or A4 size of paper to see the printed area is completely inside the paper size you are going to use. This simple test will help prevent toner from being incorrectly applied to the inside of your printer, which may cause later print jobs to be smudged with toner. The factory settings 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. MA bout Right and Left Margins The settings range of the right and left margins are subject to the page orientation as follows. The right margin should be placed 10 columns greater than the left margin: minimum text width = 10 columns. If the orientation is changed, the margin settings are restored to the factory settings. If the paper size is changed and the right and left margins exceed the paper size, they are restored to the factory settings: if they do not exceed the paper size, they remain effective. The following table shows the settings range in columns. The factory settings are printed in bold. Paper Size Portrait Landscape Left Margin RightMargin 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

USER'S GUIDE 4-26 MA bout 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. Page Length - (Top Margin + Bottom Margin) Line Feed Pitch [Vertical Motion Index (VMI)] #of Lines/Page = 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.

• 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 À or Y 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 is erased and replaced with the new one. Whatever font you have selected with the Font button, the printer saves the font as a bitmapped font as long as the print size is no more than 24 point so that the printer can print it faster than when they are not saved. It is recommended that you save the scalable font you frequently use for faster printing. Since the flash memory card 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. Y ou can select the saved fonts as “CARD1 FONT” or “CARD2 FONT” with the Font button or the font selection command from your software. For font selection, see “FONT Button” in Chapter 4. You can check the saved fonts by printing the list of fonts with the Test button. See “TEST Button” in Chapter 4.

- 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 card. If the font data exceeds the RAM capacity, a memory full error occurs. Y ou 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 card. When the font data is saved, the printer is reset to ensure as much capacity as possible in RAM. If any data remains, it is printed out. If you have saved the font at 600-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 out the list of download fonts with the Test button and check the download font ID on the list before you enter this menu. Y ou need to 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 or HDD card.

- Notes When you select a feeder, note the following: + The “FEEDER=TRAY 2” 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. This allows your print job to continue without error if one of the paper trays becomes empty. The printer will automatically select the other tray if one tray becomes empty. + When you select the FEEDER=AUTO, the printer automatically searches for the paper size you set with the Mode button in the PAGE FORMAT mode and 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.

APPENDICES 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

2. Preprinted papers must use inks that can withstand the temperature of

the printers fusing process. (200 degrees centigrade)

3. If selecting a cotton bond paper, paper having a rough surface such as

cockle or laid finished paper, or paper that is wrinkled or puckered may exhibit degraded performance. A-5

USER'S GUIDE A-6 - 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 prefolded paper.

6. Paper with tabs and staples.

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

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

APPENDICES . Envelopes with clasps, snaps or tie strings. . Envelopes made with smooth or shiny paper. . Envelopes that are rough, highly textured, or deeply embossed. . Envelopes which do not lie flat or that are curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped.

9. Envelopes having an open flap with an adhesive that seals the

envelope. œuou 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.

BLABELS 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. A dhesives 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.

APPENDICES CCITT G3/G4 and TIFF (original command) One of the unique features of the PCL mode of this printer is it supports CCITT G3/G4 type data compression and TIFF format. BCCITT G3/G4 (Raster Graphic Mode 1152) The printer's PCL mode supports CCITT G3/G4 type graphic data compression. This format is popular in optical document storage area as this compression is effective to store black and white type pictures. Compression mode for CCITT G3/G4 is 1152 and the command becomes ESC * b1152 M. As G3/G4 format does not have picture size/resolution information, the printer requires a header at the beginning of the picture data. The header size is 94 byte. Both the header and the picture data are transferred by one transfer graphics data command (ESC * b ##W). Normal PCL transfer graphics data command has a limitation of the data size and ### should not exceed 32767. Unlike other mode, mode 1152 is special and this mode does not have 32767 byte size limitation. Print model is not applied to this type of raster graphics. The mode 1152 graphic data consists of the following data structure. The picture data follows the header. Header —— 94 bytes File length Picture = HF CCITT G3/G4 F- data of ESC*b##fAN Picture Data length Header format is described on the next page. You have to specify mode 1152 by sending ESC *b1152M command for each graphic data transfer. About CCITT G3/G4 data format, please refer to CCITT (THE

APPENDICES BTIFF Format (Raster Graphic Mode 1024) & A dvanced Photoscale Technology The printer's PCL mode supports TIFF Version 5.0 file format as a format to transfer raster graphics data. Mode set command for TIFF file format is ESC *b1024M. One transfer graphics data command (ESC*b###fW) should contain whole TIFF file. In mode 1024, transfer graphics data command byte count does not have alimitation of 32,767 byte. The printer supports both ‘MM (big endian) format and ‘Il’ (little endian) format. Print model is not applied to this type of data transfer. The printer has some limitations on the TIFF file format.

1. Tags position has to be prior to the picture (strip) data.

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

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

The printer supports 1, 4 and 8. If you specify 4 or 8 and the printer resolution is 600 dpi, the printer prints that page utilizing APT.

5. Horizontal resolution (Tag ID=282) and Vertical resolution (Tag

We recommend 150 dpi or less resolution for A PT to reduce data size. A-53

USER'S GUIDE A-54 Horizontal 1200-dpi Image Format Mode(Raster Graphic Mode 1027) The printer supports 1200 dpi printing for special image formats in 1200 dpi mode. We recommend that the installed printer memory is 10 Mbytes or more for 1200 dpi printing. To set 1200 dpi mode,

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

@PJL SET RAS1200MODE =ON

2. Choose PCL mode with the following PJL command:

@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE =PCL

(If you select a mode other than PCL mode, 1200 dpi printing mode cannot be selected.) The PCL Mode set command for 1200 dpi Image Format is ESC *b1027M. The transfer raster data command (ESC*b###W) then transfers horizontal 1200 dpi data. <1200 dpi Graphic Data Compression Format> This compression format consists of blocks of data 64 dots down the page starting from the leading edge of the paper. Ex.) If the graphic data extends over three bands as shown in the following diagram, it transfers the data as three blocks of data: ESC*b##W <Block 1> <Block 2> <Block 3>

USER'S GUIDE A-70 & Bar Code Human Readable Line On or Off n="10" or"RO” Human readable line OFF n="r1"or"R1” Human readable line ON Default: Human readable line ON “T131" or “t131” (1) “T5” or “t5" (2) “T6” or “t6” (3) “T130” or “t130”

Default: Human readable line OFF All others This parameter specifies whether or not the printer prints the human readable line below the bar code. Human readable characters are always printed with OCR:-B font of 10 pitch and all the current character style enhancements are masked. Note that the default setting is subject to the bar code mode selected by “t” or “T”. M Quiet Zone n="“onnn” or “Onnn” (nnn =0 — 32767) Quiet Zone is the space on both side of the bar codes. Its width can be specified using the units which are set by the “u” of “U” parameter. (For the description of “u” or “U” parameter, see the next section.) The default setting of Quiet Zone width is 1 inch.

APPENDICES MB Bar Code, Expanded Character, Line Block Drawing & Box Drawing Offset in X-axis n="xnnn" or"Xnnn” This parameter specifies the offset from the left margin in the “u”- or “U”-specified unit. Bar Code & Expanded Character Offset in Y -axis n="ynnn" or"Ynnn” This parameter specifies the downward offset from the current print position in the “u”- or “U”-specified unit.

USER'S GUIDE M Expanded Character Rotation n="a0" or "Al" Upright (default) n="al" or"Al” Rotated 90 degrees n="a2" or"A2” Upside down, rotated 180 degrees n="a3" or"A3" Rotated 270 degrees B Bar Code Data Start n ="b" or'B" Data that follows “b” or “B” is read in as bar code data. Bar code data must end with the “\” code (5CH), which also terminates this command. The acceptable bar code data is subject to the bar code mode selected by “t” or "T”. + When CODE 39 is selected with the parameter “t0” or “TO”: Forty three characters “0” to “9”, “A” to “Z”, "-",","," (space)”, “$”,"1", "4", and “%” can be accepted as bar code data. Other characters cause data error. The number of characters for bar codes is not limited. The bar code data automatically starts and ends with an asterisk “ * ” (start character and stop character). If the received data has an asterisk “ * ” at its beginning or end, the asterisk is regarded as a start character or stop character. + When Interleaved 2 of 5 is selected with the parameter “t1” or "T1": Ten numerical characters “0” to “9” can be accepted as bar code data. Other characters cause data error. The number of characters for bar codes is not limited. Since this mode of bar codes require even characters, if the bar code data has odd characters, the zero character “0” is automatically added to the end of the bar code data. + When FIM (US-Post Net) is selected with the parameter “t3” or “T3”: Characters “A” to “D” are valid and 1 digit of data can be printed. Uppercase and lowercase alphabet characters can be accepted. + When Post Net (US-Post Net) is selected with the parameter “t4” or “T4”, Characters “0” to “9” can be data and it must be terminated by a check digit. “?” can be used in place of the check digit. A-72

APPENDICES + When EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A is selected with the parameter “t5” or "T5": Ten numerical characters “0” to “9” can be accepted as bar code data. The number of characters for bar codes is limited as follows. EAN8: Total 8 digits (7 digits + 1 check digit) EAN 13: Total 13 digits (12 digits + 1 check digit) UPCA: Total 12 digits (11 digits + 1 check digit) A number of characters other than above causes data error and the bar code data is printed as normal print data. If the check digit is incorrect, the printer calculates the correct check digit automatically so that the correct bar code data will be printed. When EAN13 is selected, adding “+” and a 2-or 5-digit number after the data can create an add-on code. + When UPC-E is selected with the parameter “t6” or “T6”: The numerical characters “0” to “9” can be accepted as bar code data. (1) 8digits Standard format. The first character must be “0” and the data must be terminated by a check digit. Total 8 digits ="“0” +6 digits + 1 check digit. (2) 6digits The first character and the last check digit are removed from the 8 digit data. *1: For8 digits, “?” can be used in place of a check digit. *2: Adding “+” and 2- or 5-digit number after the data creates an add-on code for all 6 and 8 digit formats. + When Codabar is selected with the parameter “t9” or “T9”: Characters “0” to “9”, “-", *,","$", “7, “47, “2° can be printed. Characters “A” to “D” can be printed as a start-stop code, which can be uppercase or lowercase. If there is no start-stop code, errors occur. A check digit cannot be added and using “?” causes errors. + When Code 128 Set A, SetB, or Set C is selected with the parameter “12” or “T12," “13” or “T13,” or “t14” or “T14” respectively: Code 128 sets À, B and C are individually selectable. Set A encodes characters Hex 00 … 5F. Set B encodes characters Hex 20 … 7F. Set C encodes numeric pairs 00 … 99. Switching is allowed between the code sets by sending %A, %B, or %C. FNC 1, 2, 3, and 4 are produced with %1, %2, %3, and %4. The SHIFT code, %S, allows temporary switching (for 1 character only) from set A to set B and vice versa. The “%” character can be encoded by sending it twice. A-73
