BRPrint Auditor (for Windows®)3
The BRPrint Auditor software brings the monitoring power of Brother network management tools to locally 
connected machines. This utility allows a client computer to collect usage and status information from a 
machine connected via the parallel or USB interface. The BRPrint Auditor can then pass this information to 
another computer on the network running BRAdmin Professional 3 or Web BRAdmin 1.45 or greater. This 
allows the administrator to check items such as page counts, toner and drum status and the firmware version. 
In addition to reporting to Brother network management applications this utility can E-mail the usage and 
status information directly to a predefined E-mail address in a CSV or XML file format (SMTP Mail support 
required). The BRPrint Auditor utility also supports E-mail notification for reporting warning and error 
conditions.
Web Based Management (web browser)3
Web Based Management (web browser) is a utility for managing network connected Brother devices, using 
the HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol). This utility can view the status of Brother products on your network 
and configure the machine or network settings using a standard web browser that is installed on your 
computer.
For more information, see Chapter 10 of the Network User’s Guide on the CD-ROM we have supplied. 
For increased security Web Based Management also support HTTPS. For more information see Chapter 14 
of the Network User’s Guide on the CD-ROM we have supplied. 
Driver Deployment Wizard (for Windows®)3
Driver Deployment Wizard is a utility for installation. It can be used to ease or even automate the installation 
of a locally connected or network connected printer. The Driver Deployment Wizard can also be used to 
create self running executable files which when run on a remote PC, completely automates the installation of 
a printer driver. The remote PC does not have to be connected to a network.
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
The HP LaserJet mode (or HP mode) is the emulation mode in which this printer supports the 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
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 
and graphics on pages.
For technical information about PostScript
® commands, see the following manuals:

„EPSON FX-850 and IBM
® ProPrinter XL Mode
The EPSON FX-850 and IBM ProPrinter XL modes are the emulation modes that this printer supports to 
meet the industry-standard for dot matrix printers. Some applications support these dot matrix printer 
emulations. Use these emulation modes so your printer will work well when printing from those types of 
applications.
Automatic emulation selection3
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 Remote Printer Console or Web Based Management (web 
browser). 
The printer can choose from the following combinations:
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, USB, or Ethernet depending on which interface is connected and 
receiving data.
When you use the parallel interface, you can turn the high-speed and bi-directional parallel communications 
on or off by using Remote Printer Console. (See Remote Printer Console on page 75.)
Note This function takes a few seconds to work. If you want to speed up printing, choose the required interface 
manually by using Remote Printer Console. (See Remote Printer Console on page 75.)
 
If you typically use only one interface, we recommend that you choose that interface using Remote Printer 
Console. (See Remote Printer Console on page 75.) If only one interface is chosen, the printer will allocate 
the entire input buffer to that interface to speed up printing.
