Driver Deployment Wizard This installer includes the Windows® PCL driver and Brother network port driver (LPR and NetBIOS).

DRIVER AND SOFTWARE 2 - 19 Automatic Emulation Selection This printer has an Automatic Emulation Selection feature. When the printer receives data from the computer, it automatically chooses the emulation mode. This feature has been set at the factory to ON. The printer can choose from the following combinations: To get the most out of this laser printer, we recommend that you use the Brother BR-Script3 emulation. The printer is set to the HP color printer emulation (PCL 5C) mode automatically. Since PCL 5C 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. You can select the emulation mode manually by using the control panel to access EMULATION in the SETUP menu. See SETUP on page 3-12. EPSON (default )IBM HP LaserJet HP LaserJet BR-Script3 BR-Script3 HP-GL HP-GL EPSON FX-850 IBM ProPrinter XL Emulation modes other than PCL 6, PCL 5C and BR-Script3 are monochrome emulation modes. 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, you might need to select the IBM emulation mode by using the control panel to access EMULATION in the SETUP menu. ■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 buttons or the emulation selection commands from your software.
2 - 20 DRIVER AND SOFTWARE Automatic Interface Selection This printer has an Automatic Interface Selection feature. When the printer receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the IEEE 1284 Parallel or the 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 buttons to access PARALLEL in the INTERFACE menu. See INTERFACE on page 3-17. 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). 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. 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. See List of factory settings on page 3-22. The changed user settings can be restored to the default factory settings with the RESET MENU menu. See RESET MENU on page 3-17. 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 by using the control panel to access SELECT in the INTERFACE menu. Changing the user settings does not affect the factory settings. You cannot modify the present factory settings.
