User manual BROTHER HL-1070

[. . . ] Please read this manual thoroughly before using the printer. Brother Laser Printer User's Guide Keep this manual in a convenient place for quick and easy reference at all times. Shipment of the Printer If for any reason you must ship your printer, carefully package the printer to avoid any damage during transit. The printer should also be adequately insured with your carrier. Warning When shipping the printer, the DRUM UNIT assembly including the TONER CARTRIDGE must be removed from the printer and placed in the plastic bag. Failure to remove and place it in the plastic bag during shipping will cause severe damage to the printer and will VOID THE WARRANTY. 1 Remove the drum unit. 2 Place it in the plastic bag and seal the bag completely. 3 Re-pack the printer. [. . . ] The printer is restored to the factory setting and permanent fonts and macros are cleared. The printer can print data as hexadecimal values, so that you can check data errors and problems. To exit from this mode, you have to turn off the printer. Control Features Set by the Brother Driver Page Protection If the printed images are too complex to print, the printer may print a partial image on the page. If this occurs, the printer has lost some print data and will indicate a "print overrun" error by printing an error report. The page protection feature allows the printer to create the image to be printed in memory before physically moving the paper through the printer. Therefore, setting page protection to ON may eliminate the "PRINT OVERRUN" error. The "AUTO" setting does not require additional memory and automatically uses page protection only when it is necessary. Occasionally, when AUTO page protection is on, processing complex print data may be slightly delayed. 3­5 USER'S GUIDE Note To set the Page Protection to A4, Letter or Legal paper sizes, the following total capacity of memory is required. 300 dpi 600 dpi Letter/A4 2 Mbytes 6 Mbytes Legal 3 Mbytes 6 Mbytes If your printer does not have enough memory for page protection, your document may be printed at 300 dpi. The supplied printer driver for Windows 95/98/3. 1 The supplied RPC program for DOS For details of the settings, see the relevant help screen. APT (Advanced Photoscale Technology) APT allows your printer to produce fine gray scales to improve the appearance of documents containing photographic images. Using this feature, the image is printed in 256 shades of gray at near photographic quality. Also, a demo file which can be opened within Windows Write is included on the supplied disk. For details of the settings, see the relevant help screen of the RPC or Windows driver. Note APT is a simpler feature than 1200 x 600 dpi for Windows DIB graphics. APT does not required so much memory as the 1200 x 600 dpi resolution setting. 3­6 CHAPTER 4 OPTIONS CHAPTER 4 OPTIONS SERIAL INTERFACE BOARD RS100M To connect the printer to a DOS computer with a serial interface or to an Apple Macintosh computer, you need to install the optional serial interface board. When you have installed the serial interface board, you can share the printer between two computers (two IBM compatible PCs or one IBM compatible PC and one Apple Macintosh) using the parallel and serial interfaces at the same time. Note The serial interface board for this printer is optional, but in some countries the serial interface board may have been installed by either the factory or dealer. The serial interface for Apple Macintosh (RS-422A) will only print at 300 dpi. The serial interface board is installed onto the main controller board inside the printer. For the details about installation, see the instruction guide which was provided with the serial interface board. Selecting the RS-422A (Apple) or RS-232C (IBM) Serial Interface Note This section is only for printer models which have had the serial interface installed. ! Caution Be sure to select the serial interface type to match your computer as follows: For Apple Macintosh computers: you should not have to change any settings because the Apple (RS-422A) setting is factory selected (default). For IBM compatible PCs you should move the switch to the IBM (RS-232C) setting.
