HL-3400CN SERVICE MANUAL CHAPTER 1 PRODUCT OUTLINE 1. FEATURES This printer has the following features: 2400 x 600 dpi Class Resolution The printer prints pages with a resolution of 600 dots per inch (dpi) as default. It also accepts lower resolution data in the 300 dpi mode, or higher quality printout which is the equivalent of 2400 x 600 dpi resolution when using High Resolution Control (HRC) or Color Advanced Photoscale Technology (CAPT). High Speed Color Laser Printing The printer allows crisp printing in 24 bit brilliant color. The printer prints at a speed of 24 pages per minute in monochrome mode and 6 pages per minute in full color mode when printing A4 or Letter size paper in Landscape orientation. The controller utilizes a high speed 32-bit RISC microprocessor and special hardware chips, which provides a very fast processing speed. High Resolution Control (HRC) The high resolution control (HRC) technology provides clear and crisp printouts and improves even the 600 dpi resolution. This mode is effective when printing text data. Color Advanced Photoscale Technology (CAPT) The printer can print graphics in 256 shades for each color in HP® color printer PCL5CTM and BR-Script level 2 emulations, producing nearly photographic quality. This mode is effective when printing photographic images. Maintenance-Free & Economical Toner Cartridge A toner cartridge can print up to 14,000 (Black) and 8,500 (Cyan, Magenta and Yellow) single-sided pages at 5% coverage. The one piece, easy-to-replace toner cartridges do not require difficult maintenance. Universal Media Cassette This printer loads paper automatically from the media cassette. Since the media cassette is a universal type, a number of different sizes of paper can be used. Even envelopes can be loaded from the media cassette. Three Interfaces This printer has a high speed bi-directional parallel interface, an RS-232C serial interface, and a modular input/output (MID) compatible interface. The Brother NC-3100h network solution can also be used as an alternative to the MID interface. If the 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. The RS-232C serial interface is an industry standard so that you can connect it to any computer using a standard serial cable. The MID interface allows you to install a commercial MIO-compatible card. If the card is installed, this interface port can be used for features such as networking or printer sharing. The NC-3100h card can enable you to connect directly to a network. 1-3
