CHAPTER 1 GENERAL Universal Paper Cassette and Manual Loading This printer loads paper automatically from the paper cassette. Since the paper cassette is a universal type, a number of different sizes of paper can be used. Even envelopes can be loaded from the multi-purpose tray and the upper paper cassette. In addition, the multi-purpose tray allows you to load paper sheet by sheet. See 3-15 for auto loading and 3-16 for manual loading. Four Interfaces This printer has a high speed bi-directional parallel interface, an RS-232C serial interface, a Universal Serial Bus (USB), and a modular input/output (MIO) compatible interface. If your application software supports the bi-directional parallel interface, you can monitor the printer status. It is fully compatible with the industry-standard bi-directional parallel interface. See page 2-17. The RS-232C serial interface is an industry standard so that you can connect it to any computer using a standard serial cable. See page 2-17. The Universal Serial Bus is an interface which allows the printer connect with multiple peripheral devices. The MIO interface allows you to install a commercial MIO-compatible card. If you install the card, you can use one more interface port for features such as networking or printer sharing. See page 5-6. Automatic Interface Selection This printer can automatically select the bi-directional parallel, RS-232C serial, Universal Serial Bus, or MIO interface depending on the interface port through which it receives data. With this feature, the printer can be connected to more than one computer. See page 3-5. Five Emulation Modes This printer can emulate the Hewlett-Packard® laser printer-LaserJet 5 (PCL® 6)/ LaserJet 4+ (PCL® 5e), PostScript® Level 2 language emulation (Brother BR-Script Level 2) printers, the industry-standard HPGL™ plotter as well as EPSON® FX-850™, and IBM® Proprinter XL® printers. You can print with all application programs that support one of these printers. See page 3-1. 1-5
