BRAdmin Light3
BRAdmin Light is a utility for initial setup of Brother network connected devices. This utility can search for 
Brother products on your network, view the status and configure basic network settings, such as IP address. 
The BRAdmin Light utility is available for Windows® 2000/XP and Windows Vista™ and Windows Server® 
2003, Mac OS® X 10.2.4 or greater computers. For installing BRAdmin Light, please see the Quick Setup 
Guide we provided with the printer. For Macintosh® users, BRAdmin Light will be installed automatically 
when you install the printer driver. If you have already installed the printer driver, you do not have to install it 
again.

BRAdmin Professional (for Windows®)3
BRAdmin Professional is a utility for more advanced management of network connected Brother devices.

settings from a computer running the Windows® system. BRAdmin Professional has additional features from 
BRAdmin Light.

Driver Deployment Wizard (for Windows®)3
This installer includes the Windows® printer driver and Brother network port driver (LPR). If the administrator 
installs the printer driver and port driver using this application, the administrator can save the file to the file 
server or send the file by 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 computer.
Web BRAdmin (for Windows®)3
Web BRAdmin is a utility for managing network connected Brother devices. This utility can search for Brother 
products on your network, view the status and configure the network settings. Unlike BRAdmin Professional, 
which is designed for Windows® only, the Web BRAdmin server utility can be accessed from any client PC 
with a Web Based Management (Web browser) that supports JRE (Java Runtime Environment). By installing 
the Web BRAdmin server utility on a PC running IIS 1, administrators with a Web Based Management (Web 
browser) can connect to the Web BRAdmin server, which then communicates with the device itself.

About emulation modes3
This printer has the following emulation modes. You can change the setting by using the control panel or Web 
Based Management (Web browser).

HP LaserJet Mode

PCL6 language of the Hewlett-Packard
® LaserJet laser printer. Many applications support this type of 
laser printer. Using this mode will allow your printer to run at its best with those applications.

BR-Script 3 Mode (HL-4050CDN / HL-4070CDW only)
BR-Script is an original Brother page description language and a PostScript
® language emulation 
interpreter. This printer supports level 3. The BR-Script interpreter of this printer allows you to control text

Automatic emulation selection (HL-4050CDN / HL-4070CDW only)3
This printer has an automatic emulation selection feature that is turned on by default. This lets it automatically 
change the emulation mode to suit the type of data it receives.
You can change the setting by using the control panel or Web Based Management (Web browser). 
Automatic interface selection3
This printer has an automatic interface selection feature that is turned on by default. This lets it automatically 
change the interface to IEEE 1284 parallel (HL-4050CDN / HL-4070CDW only),  USB, or Ethernet depending 
on which interface is receiving data.
Since the default setting is on for the automatic interface selection mode, simply connect the interface cable 
to the printer. Always turn off both your computer and printer when connecting or disconnecting the cable.
Auto Interface selection can take a few seconds to work. If you only use one interface it would be advisable 
to select that interface; use the control panel to access the General Setup menu, choose Interface and 
then choose Select. If only one interface is chosen, the printer will allocate the entire input buffer to that 
interface.
