✒✒ ✒  Note
When you use the Automatic emulation selection, note the following:
•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 EMULATION menu in SETUP mode by using the Control
panel when you need to use this emulation.
•Try this function with your application software or network server. If the
function does not work properly, select the required emulation mode
manually using the printer panel switches 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 interface as
appropriate.
When you use the parallel interface, you can turn the high-speed and bi-
directional parallel communications on or off with parallel menu in
INTERFACE mode by using the Control panel. For further information, see
Chapter 3. Since the automatic interface selection mode has been factory
set to ON, simply connect the interface cable to the printer.
If a Network board (Brother NC-4100h) has been installed, Select
NETWORK mode by using the Control panel
When necessary, select the interface or the network communications
parameters manually with the INTERFACE mode by using the Control panel.
For further information, see Chapter 3. For the settings on the computer, see
the manual of the computer or software you are using.
✒
✒✒ ✒  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 with the SELECT menu
in INTERFACE mode by using the 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.

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 by making user
settings. Please see “List of Factory settings” in Chapter 3.
✒
✒✒ ✒  Note
Changing the user settings does not affect factory settings. You cannot
modify the preset factory settings.
The changed user settings can be restored to the factory default settings
with the RESET MENU mode. For further information, see Chapter 3.

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 Compact Flash.
If you do not install an HDD (See HDD in Chapter 4) or Compact Flash Card
(see Compact Flash Card in Chapter 4), you can reprint from RAM.
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 1MB steps.
✒
✒✒ ✒  Notes
• When you increase the RAM size to use for secure printing, the work
area of the printer is decreased and the printer performance will reduce.
Ensure that you reset the RAMDISK SIZE to 0MB when you have
finished using secure printing.
• When you store the data in RAM, the data is deleted when the printer
power is turned off.
We also recommend adding additional RAM when you want to secure print a
large amount of data. (See RAM expansion in Chapter 4)
