This parameter determines print density, which
affects the darkness of the printed document. A
lower value produces lighter print; a higher
value produces darker print.

When the device sends data to the printer, it
may send both an LF and a CR command at
the end of a line in order to move the print head
to the left margin (via the CR command) of the
next line (via the LF command). However,
some devices send only one command, and in
these cases, the printer must respond as if
both commands were sent. If your device
sends only LF or CR commands at the ends of
lines, select [LF=CR+LF CR=CR+LF].

39 4 4 JPEG Printing4 When using an IrDA connection or a Bluetooth connection (PJ-662/663 only), image data (JPEG) can be printed without using the printer driver. Note • The IrOBEX protocol is used for printing via an IrDA connection. • The Bluetooth Basic Imaging Profile (BIP) is used for printing via a Bluetooth connection. • This printer will convert a color JPEG image to a ‘Black & White’ image using a dithering process. • When sending a JPEG image that is already ‘Black & White’ this dithering process may make your printed image fuzzy. • To improve the image quality, try to turn off any preprocessing of the JPEG image. „Only JPEG images can be printed. (Limited to files with the .jpg extension.) „The maximum file size is 5 MB. „The maximum resolutions are as follows. 300 dpi: Height × Width = 3300 × 2400 dots 200 dpi: Height × Width = 2200 × 1600 dots If these limits are exceeded, the data received by the printer will be discarded and not printed. „Print is at 1 pixel = 1 dot. „This printer performs binary processing (simple binary) to print the image. „Printing begins in the upper-left corner of the paper.„The image is printed with the height-to-width proportion of the received data. Other Function4
40 5 Cleaning the Platen Roller 5 Dirt and debris on the platen roller can cause the roller to feed paper into the printer at an angle and degrade the quality of the printed image. aMake sure that the printer is turned on and that no paper is loaded. Note If paper is loaded when you attempt to clean the platen roller, a form feed will be executed and the paper will be ejected. bInsert the cleaning sheet into the paper input slot. The text “CLEANING SHEET” should be upright and face the front of the printer, as shown. The roller will pull the cleaning sheet into the starting position. cRemove the backing paper on the upper half of the cleaning sheet, as shown. Note Do not remove the backing paper from the lower half of the cleaning sheet. dPress the (Feed) button for more than two seconds. The printer will feed and eject the cleaning sheet. Note • Do not attempt to clean the platen roller with any material other than the cleaning sheet. • The cleaning sheet is for cleaning the platen roller only. Do not use it to clean any other part of the printer. • Contact Brother or your reseller for a replacement cleaning sheet. Maintaining the Printer5
Maintaining the Printer 41 5 Cleaning the Printer’s Exterior 5 Clean the exterior of the printer by wiping it with a dry cloth. Note • Do not wet the cloth or allow water to enter the printer. • Do not use benzene, alcohol, paint thinner, or cleaners that are abrasive, alkaline, or acidic. Such cleaners may damage the printer’s case.

Chapter 6 44 Indicator Warnings6 ProblemSolution The POWER indicator does not light The printer is receiving no power. If you are using AC or DC power, make sure that the AC adapter or DC cable is properly connected (see Connecting the Printer to External Power on page 1) and make sure that the AC or DC power outlet is turned on. If you are using DC power, check the fuse. No rechargeable Ni-MH battery found when chargingThe printer did not detect a rechargeable Ni-MH battery when you tried to charge the battery. Make sure that the rechargeable Ni-MH battery is installed properly and that there are no broken wires at the battery or connector. For more information, see Installing the Rechargeable Ni-MH Battery on page 2. If the rechargeable Ni-MH battery is connected properly, the battery may have overheated while charging. Allow the rechargeable Ni-MH battery to cool before charging it again. If this is a reoccurring problem, replace the rechargeable Ni-MH battery. Time-out when charging the rechargeable Ni-MH batteryToo much time is needed to charge the rechargeable Ni-MH battery (normally the battery should be fully-charged within 120 minutes). Replace the rechargeable Ni-MH battery.
Reference 45 6 Head or motor is cooling down The thermal head or motor is too hot. Head: If the thermal head becomes even hotter, the thermal head may produce imaging on the paper in areas not intended to be printed. This condition is normal when printing documents with a great deal of “black” content. The printer will stop and resume printing after the print head has cooled down. To avoid or delay the onset of this condition, print using a lighter density setting, reduce the amount of black space being printed (for example, remove background shading and colors in graphs and presentation documents), and make sure that the printer has adequate ventilation and is not located in an enclosed space. Motor: Do not use the printer continuously. If the printer is used continuously, the motor will become too hot. In this case, the printer will stop and resume printing after the motor has cooled down. Note This condition may occur more often when the printer is used at high altitude (more than 10,000 feet) due to a lower air density available to cool the printer. Data reception error Data is not being received properly, most likely because of a poor IrDA connection. Reposition the printer and/or IrDA port on the computer and try again. Printer is in boot mode The AC adapter was unplugged while the firmware was being updated, and the printer started up in boot mode the next time it was started. Contact your reseller or Brother Customer Service for assistance. ProblemSolution
Chapter 6 46 Printing a Printer Report 6 This feature is used to print a letter-size printer settings report without connecting the printer to a computer. The report contains firmware version, image quality, and configuration information. aMake sure that the printer is turned on and that no paper is loaded. bPress and hold the (Feed) button for two or more seconds until the DATA indicator turns red. cInsert a piece of genuine Brother thermal paper into the printer’s paper input slot. The report will print automatically, and then the printer will return to an idle state. Note This operation can also be performed using PJ-600 Series Utility (see Print Unit Settings on page 38).
