CHAPTER 1 GENERAL Manual Loading This printer loads paper automatically from the paper cassette. 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 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 2-15. 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 2-15. The Universal Serial Bus is an interface which allows the printer to be connected with multiple peripheral devices. (Window 98 only) 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 5-7. 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) , PostScript® Level 2 language emulation (Brother BR-Script Level 2) printers, the industry-standard HP-GL™ plotter as well as EPSON® FX-850™, and IBM® Proprinter XL® printers.
