Safety Information
IMPORTANT - ForYour Safety
To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted only into a standard
three-pin power point which is properly grounded through the normal household wiring.
Extension cords used with this printer must be three-pin plug type and correctly wired to
provide proper grounding. Incorrectly wired extension cords may cause personal injury an
equipment damage.
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 byASTA 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 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 mains 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.

Note
When you feed paper manually, note the following:
• If your application software supports a manual feed selection in the print
menu, you can select it through the software. Since the software or
command setting overrides the switch setting, you do not need to set the
MANUAL FEED mode and the paper size in PAPER mode.
• If you use pre-printed paper in the multi-purpose tray, the paper should
be inserted top edge first with the pre-printed side face up.

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 (default) IBM
HP LaserJet HP LaserJet
BR-Script 3 BR-Script 3
HP-GL HP-GL
EPSON FX-850 IBM Proprinter XL
You can select the emulation mode manually in the EMULATION menu in
SETUP mode by using the control panel. For more information, see
Chapter 3.
CHAPTER 2 DRIVER AND SOFTWARE
2–21
✒ 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
the EPSON emulation mode, you might need to select the IBM
emulation mode in the EMULATION menu in SETUP mode by using the
control panel.
• Try Automatic emulation selection with your application software or
network server. If it does not work properly, select the emulation mode
manually using either the printer control panel switches or the
emulation selection commands from your software.

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 the 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/Xoff (handshake protocol) ON
DTR (ER) ON
Robust Xon OFF
If a Network board (Brother NC-4100h) has been installed, use the control
panel to select NETWORK.
When necessary, use the control panel in the INTERFACE mode to select
the interface or the serial communications parameters manually. For more
information, see Chapter 3. For the computer settings, see the manual for
the computer or software you are using.
CHAPTER 2 DRIVER AND 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 in the SELECT menu by
using the control panel in the INTERFACE mode.
If you constantly use only one interface, we recommend that you select that
interface in the INTERFACE mode. The printer allocates the entire input
buffer to that interface when only one interface is selected.

If you want to reprint a document that has just been printed, you can reprint
it by pressing the Reprint switch. Also, if you have created a document that
you wish to share with colleagues, simply spool the document to a non-
secure area of the printer. This document can then be re-printed by anyone
who is on the network or at the printer control panel.
You can use the reprint function when the printer is READY or in the
settings menu.
When you want to print PROOF, PUBLIC or SECURE data, we recommend
installing the optional HDD or CompactFlash card.
If you do not install an HDD (See Hard Disk Drive (HD-6G/HD-EX) in
Chapter 4) or CompactFlash card (see “CompactFlash Card” in Chapter 4),
you can reprint from RAM.
The reprint data in RAM will be deleted when the printer is turned off.
3–6
When you use RAM to reprint:
☛
1.
Press the
Set
switch on the control panel to exit from the READY status and
select RAMDISK SIZE in the SETUP mode.
☛
2.
The default RAM is 0MB. Press the switch to increase the reprint RAM
size in increments of 1MB.
✒ Notes
When you increase the RAM size for secure printing, the work area of the
printer is decreased and the printer performance will be reduced. Ensure
that you reset the RAMSIZE to 0MB when you have finished using secure
printing.
When you store the data in RAM, the data will be deleted when the printer
power is turned off.
We also recommend adding additional RAM if you want to be able to print a
large amount of secure data. (See “RAM Expansion” in Chapter 4)
3–10
c
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 front panel or a web browser. The printer
will not print a PUBLIC document when you send it to the printer. You must
use 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.

c
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 use
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 “?”.

If you press the Back switch when the printer is the on-line state, it goes off-
line and the LCD goes to the menu display.
Pressing the Back switch allows you to return to the previous level from the
current menu level.
The Back switch also allows you to select the previous digit while inputting
numbers.
When the leftmost digit is selected, the Back switch allows you to go up one
level in the menu.
When a menu or number without an asterisk (Set switch not pressed) is
selected, the Back switch allows you to return to the previous menu level
with the original setting unchanged.
✒
Note
When you press the Set switch to select a setting, an asterisk appears
briefly at the end of the display. Since the asterisk indicates the selection,
you can easily find the current settings as you scroll through the display.

The toner cartridge is in a bag inside the toner cartridge carton.
A new toner cartridge contains enough toner to print up to approximately
11,000 A4/Letter-size single-sided pages at about 5% coverage (if the print
density is set at level 0).
Fig. 5-1
5–2
✒ Note
• This toner cartridge is a single-component cartridge. The microfine
toner does not become magnetized.
• The toner cartridge is packed inside a bag. Do not open it until
immediately before you install the toner cartridge. The toner cartridge
must not be exposed to light for a long time.
• Do not expose the toner cartridge to direct light.
• Do not stand the toner cartridge on its end or turn it upside down.
• Do not open the drum shutter because it might cause serious damage,
resulting in poor print quality.
• Do not touch the shaded parts shown below.
• Toner consumption varies according to the image coverage on the page
and the print density setting.
• The greater the image coverage, the greater the toner consumption.
• If you change the print density setting for lighter or darker printing, toner
consumption varies accordingly.
• Use a genuine Brother toner cartridge that is specially formulated to
ensure optimum print quality.
• Printing with a 3rd party toner or 3rd party toner cartridge may reduce
not only the print quality but also the quality and life of the printer itself.
It may also cause serious damage to the performance and life of a
drum unit. Warranty coverage does not apply to problems caused by
the use of 3rd party toner or 3rd party toner cartridges.

APPENDIX
Appendix–37
♦ Bar Code, Expanded Character, Line Block Drawing & Box Drawing
n = “s0” or “S0” 3 : 1 (default)
n = “s1” or “S1” 2 : 1
n = “s3” or “S3” 2.5 : 1
This parameter selects the bar code style as above. When the EAN 8, EAN
13, UPC-A, Code 128 or EAN 128 bar code mode is selected, this bar code
style parameter is ignored.
Expanded Character
“S” 0 = White
1 = Black
2 = Vertical stripes
3 = Horizontal stripes
4 = Cross hatch
eg. “S” n1 n2
n1 = Background fill pattern
n2 = Foreground fill pattern
If “S” is followed by only one parameter, the parameter
is a foreground fill pattern.
Line Block Drawing & Box Drawing
“S” 1 = Black
2 = Vertical stripes
3 = Horizontal stripes
4 = Cross hatch
♦ Bar Code
n = “mnnn” or “Mnnn” (nnn = 0 ~ 32767)
This parameter specifies the bar code width. The unit of "nnn" is %.
APPENDIX
Appendix–41
• 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.
EAN 8: Total 8 digits (7 digits + 1 check digit)
EAN 13: Total 13 digits (12 digits + 1 check digit)
UPC A: 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) 8 digits 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) 6 digits The first character and the last
check digit are removed from the 8 digit data.
*1: For 8 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”, “-”, “ . ”, “$”, “/”, “+”, “ : ” 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, Set B, or Set C is selected with the parameter
“t12” or “T12,” “t13” or “T13,” or “t14” or “T14” respectively:
Code 128 sets A, 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.
Appendix–42
• When ISBN (EAN) is selected with the parameter “t130” or “T130”:
Same rules apply as for “t5” or “T5”
• When ISBN (UPC-E) is selected with the parameter “t131” or “T131”:
Same rules apply as for “t6” or “T6”
• When EAN 128 set A, set B or set C is selected with the parameter
“t132” or “T132”, “t133” or “T133” or “t134” or “T134” respectively:
Same rules apply as for “t12” or “T12”, “t13” or “T13”, or “t14” or “T14."
♦ Box Drawing
ESC i … E (or e)
“E” or “e” is a terminator.
♦ Line Block Drawing
ESC i … V (or v)
“V” or “v” is a terminator.
♦ Expanded Character Data Start
n = “l” or “L”
Data that follows “l” or “L” is read as expanded character data (or labeling
data). Expanded character data must end with the “ \ ” code (5CH), which
also terminates this command.
