Note
• An interface cable is not a standard accessory. Some computers have
both a USB and a parallel port. Please purchase the appropriate cable
for the interface you intend to use. Most parallel cables support bi-
directional communication, but some might have an incompatible pin
assignment or may not be IEEE 1284-compliant.
• Do not use a parallel cable that is longer than 3 metres (10 feet).
• The power cord may differ slightly from this figure depending on the
country where you purchased the printer.
• When you use a USB cable, make sure to use a high-speed twisted
cable (12Mbps), and connect it to the USB connector of your PC. Do not
use the USB connector on the front of your PC or on the iMac's
keyboard.

Use the printer within the specified power range:
AC power:
• AC 220-240 V 50/60 Hz or
• AC 100-120 V 50/60 Hz
The power cord, including extensions, should not exceed 5 metres
(16 ½ feet).
Do not share the same power circuit with other high-power appliances such
as an air conditioner, copier, shredder and so on. If you cannot avoid using
the printer with these appliances, we recommend that you use an isolation
transformer or a high-frequency noise filter.
Use a voltage regulator if the power source is not stable.

Web Browser Management
Many Brother printers support Embedded Web Server (EWS) technology.
This means that you can use a standard web browser to manage many
aspects of the printer; for example, you can view consumable life, configure
network parameters, view serial number information, printer usage, and so
on. Start your web browser and enter the NetBIOS name, DNS name or IP
address of the printer.
(Windows
®
Users Only)

BRAdmin professional
The BRAdmin Professional software is designed to manage your Brother
network connected devices. For example, Brother network ready printers and
Brother network ready Multifunction devices can be managed using the
BRAdmin Professional software. The BRAdmin Professional software can
also be used to manage devices from other manufacturers whose products
support the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).
♦
♦♦
♦
Storage Manager
Brother Storage Manager software can manipulate the printer forms that you
may have stored in the internal flash memory.
You can print the fixed form document at any time from the control panel.
To make the fixed documents print, you must first write Fonts, Macros or
fixed forms to the memory of your printer.

♦
Driver Deployment Wizard
This installer includes the Windows PCL driver and Brother network port
driver (LPR and NetBIOS). The administrator should set up the IP address,
Gateway and Subnet with BRAdmin Professional before using this software.
If the administrator then installs the printer driver and port driver using this
software, he can save the file to the File server or send the file in E-mail to
users. Then, each user just clicks that file to have the printer driver, port
driver, IP address, and so on, automatically copied to their PC.

This printer has an Automatic Emulation Selection function. When the printer
receives information from the computer, it automatically chooses the
emulation mode. This function has been set at the factory to ON.
The printer can select among the following emulation combinations:
EPSON (default) IBM
HP LaserJet HP LaserJet
BR-Script 3 BR-Script 3
EPSON FX-850 IBM Proprinter XL
You can choose the emulation mode manually by using the EMULATION
menu in the SETUP mode on the printer control panel. For more information,
see Chapter 3.
✒
✒✒
✒
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, so to use the IBM emulation mode you will
need to select it by using the EMULATION menu in the SETUP mode on
the printer control panel.
• Try this function with your application software or network server. If the
function does not work properly, either select the required emulation
mode manually using the printer panel buttons or use the emulation
selection commands in your software.

This printer has an Automatic Interface Selection function. When the printer
receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the interface that 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 Parallel menu in
the INTERFACE mode on the printer control panel. For more information, see
Chapter 3. Since the Automatic Interface Selection mode has been set at the
factory to ON, simply connect the interface cable to the printer.
If a Network board (Brother NC-4100h) has been installed, select NETWORK
mode on the printer control panel.
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.

• If an unpacked Drum Unit is put in direct sunlight or room light, the unit
may be damaged.
• Use a genuine Brother Toner Cartridge that is specially formulated for
high-quality printing.
• Printing with a toner or a toner cartridge that is not made by Brother may
reduce the print quality and the quality and life of the printer itself. It may
also cause serious damage to the performance and life of a drum unit.

! CHANGE DRUM SOON Message
CHANGE DRUM SOON
The printer uses a Drum Unit to create the print images on paper. If the
display shows the above message, it means the Drum Unit is near the end
of its life. We recommend that you replace the Drum Unit with a new one
before there is a noticeable deterioration in the print quality.
! Replacing the Drum Unit
This printer can print upto 20,000 pages
*1
with one Drum Unit.
*1
At 5% coverage print (A4-Letter size). The actual number of printed pages
may vary depending on the average type of print job and paper.
✒
✒✒
✒
Note
There are many things that affect how long the drum unit lasts for, such as
the temperature, humidity, type of paper, type of toner used, the number of
pages in each print job and so on. Under ideal conditions, a drum unit will
last for upto 20,000 pages. The actual number of pages that your drum will
print may be significantly less than this estimate. Because we have no
control over the many things that affect the actual drum life, we cannot
guarantee a minimum number of pages that your drum will print.
For best performance, only use genuine Brother toner. You should only use
the printer in a clean, dust-free environment with suitable ventilation.

First, make sure that you are using paper that meets our recommended paper
specifications. See “What Kind of Paper Can I Use?” in Chapter 1.
Problem Recommendation
The printer does not load
paper.
•
If there is paper in the paper cassette, make sure 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 place it back in the paper cassette.
•
Reduce the amount of paper in the paper cassette, and then try
again.
•
Make sure that the MANUAL FEED = ON (STOP) is not selected
on the control panel.
The printer does not load
paper from the Multi-purpose
Tray.
•
Fan the paper, and then put the paper back in firmly.
•
Make sure that the MANUAL FEED
=
ON (STOP) is not selected
on the control panel.
The printer does not load
envelopes.
•
The printer can load envelopes from the Multi-purpose Tray. Your
application software 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. Please see your
software application manual.
There is a paper jam.
•
Clear the jammed paper (see “Paper Jams and How to Clear
Them” in this chapter).
The printer does not print to
the Face Down Output Tray.
•
Close the Face Up Output Tray.
The printed pages are curled,
so the Face Down Output Tray
cannot hold the prescribed
number of pages.
•
Turn the paper in the Paper Cassette over.
•
Change the printer driver setting in Media Type to Transparencies
from the current setting.
The printer does not print on
the paper you have chosen.
•
Make sure that the cable is connected to the printer
•
Make sure that you have chosen the appropriate printer driver.

Problem Recommendation
The printer prints unexpectedly
or it prints garbage.
•
Make sure the printer cable is not too long. We recommend you
use a parallel cable that is less than 2 metres (6 1/2 feet) long.
•
Check if the printer cable is damaged or broken.
•
If you are using an interface-switching device, remove it, and
then connect your computer directly to your printer and try again.
•
Check that you have chosen the appropriate printer driver as ‘Set
as Default’.
•
Check that the printer is not connected to the same port that is
also connected to a storage device or scanner. Remove all other
devices and connect the port to the printer only.
•
Turn off the status monitor in the Device / Options page on the
Advanced tab in the printer driver.
The DL size of envelopes that
have been creased after they
were printed.
•
Put in new DL size envelopes sideways, and print again. Refer to
‘Printing Envelopes’ in Chapter 1.
The printer cannot print full
pages of a document. An error
message “PRINT OVERRUN”
occurs.
•
Press the
Go
button to print the data that is left in the printer.
•
If this does not clear the error, reduce the complexity of your
document or reduce the print resolution.
•
Change the following settings in the supplied Windows
®
driver,
and then try again. The best combination of settings below will
vary depending on your document.
•
Graphics mode
•
TrueType mode
•

Problem Recommendation
MY headers or footers appear
when I view my document on
the screen but they do not
show up on printed pages.
•
Most laser printers have a restricted area that cannot be printed
on. Usually the first two lines and the last two lines of a page
cannot have print (leaving 62 printable lines). Adjust the top and
bottom margins of your document to allow for this.

Before You Purchase a Large Quantity of Paper
Make sure that the paper is suitable for the printer.
♦
♦♦
♦
Paper for Plain Paper Copies
Paper is divided by usage, such as paper for printing and paper for copying.
The usage is usually shown on the paper’s package. Check the package to
see whether it is suitable for laser printers. You must use paper that is
suitable for laser printers.
♦
♦♦
♦
Basis Weight
The basis weight of the paper for general use varies in different countries.
We recommend that you use paper that weighs 75 g/m2 to 90 g/m2 (20 to
24 lb.), although this printer is able to cope with thinner or thicker paper than
these weights.
Unit Europe USA

80 to 90 75 to 90
lb 20 to 24
♦
♦♦
♦
Long Grain and Short Grain
Though most plain paper for copying is long grain, some is short grain. We
recommend that you use long grain paper for this printer. Short grain paper
is too weak to be carried through the printer.
APPENDIX
A–9
♦
♦♦
♦
Acid Paper and Neutralized Paper
Paper can be classified as either acid paper or neutralized paper.
Modern methods for making paper started with acid paper, but neutralized
paper is taking the place of acid paper because of environmental or
preservation issues.
However, many forms of acid paper can be found in recycled paper. We
recommend that you use neutralized paper for this printer.
You can use an acid paper check pen to distinguish acid paper from neutral
paper.
♦
♦♦
♦
Print Surface
The characteristics may differ a little between the face side and reverse side
of a sheet of paper.
Usually, the opening side of the ream of paper package is the print side.
Follow any indication of the print side on the paper package. Typically, the
paper side is indicated with an arrow.
♦
♦♦
♦
Moisture Content
Moisture content is the amount of water left in the paper after it has been
made. It is one of the important characteristics of the paper. This can
change greatly depending on where the paper is stored, although usually
paper is 5% water by weight. Because paper often absorbs water, the
amount of water can sometimes be about 10% in a high humidity
environment. When the amount of water increases, the characteristic of the
paper changes greatly. The fixing of the toner may become worse. For
storing of the paper and during use, we recommend that the humidity of the
surrounding environment is between 50% and 60%.

Radio Interference (220-240 V Model Only)
This printer complies with EN55022(CISPR Publication 22)/Class B.
Before this product is used, ensure that you use a double-shielded interface
cable with twisted-pair conductors and that it is marked “IEEE 1284-
compliant.” We recommend to use a parallel cable that is 2.0 meters (6 1/2
feet) or less.
IMPORTANT - For Your Safety
To ensure safe operation the three-pin electrical plug supplied must be
inserted only into a standard three-pin power point that is properly grounded
through normal household wiring.
Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-pin plug type and
correctly wired to provide proper grounding. Incorrectly wired extension
cords may cause personal injury and 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 in order to shut off power completely.
APPENDIX
A–29
LAN Connection
Caution
Connect this product to a LAN connection that is not subjected to over
voltages.
Geräuschemission / Acoustic Noise Emission (For Germany Only)
Lpa < 70 dB (A) DIN 45635-19-01-KL2
IT power system (For Norway Only)
This product is also designed for IT power system with phase to phase
voltage 230 V.
IMPORTANT - Wiring Information (For U.K. Only)
If the power cord supplied with this printer is not suitable for your electrical
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 a fuse with
the same rating as the original.
If a moulded plug is severed from the power cord then it should be destroyed
because a plug with cut wires is dangerous if plugged into 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 by ASTA 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 PROPERLY EARTHED.
The wires in the mains cord are coloured in accordance with the following
code:
Green and yellow: Ground
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
A–30
The colours of the wiring in the power lead of this printer may not
correspond with the markings which identify the terminals in your plug. 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
coloured 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 coloured insulation to expose the wires.
The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter “E” or by the earth symbol
or coloured green or green and yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter “N” or coloured black or blue.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which
is marked with the letter “L” or coloured red or brown.
The outer sheath of the cord must be secured inside the plug. The coloured
wires should not hang out of the plug.
