CHAPTER 1 GENERAL USB Interface (for Windows 98/Me/2000/XP, iMac and Power Macintosh) The printer can be connected using the Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface to a PC or Mac which has a USB interface. Drivers that allow you to use the USB port are provided on the CD-ROM supplied with the printer. Popular Printer Emulation Support (HL-5140/5150D/5170DN only) These printers support the following printer emulation modes; HP LaserJet (PCL6), PostScript Level 3 language emulation (Brother BR-Script Level 3), Epson FX-850 and IBM Proprinter XL. HL-5140:only HP LaserJet (PCL6) When you use DOS application software or Windows version 3.0 or earlier, you can use any of these emulations to operate the HL-5150D/5170DN printers. The printers also support auto-emulation switching between HP, Brother BR-Script 3 and Epson or HP, BR-Script 3 and IBM. If you want to set the printer emulation, you can do it using the Remote Printer Console Program. High Resolution Control High Resolution Control (HRC) technology provides clear and crisp printouts. Use this function to get smooth text print quality. (300 dpi, 600dpi only) Environment-Friendly This feature will cut your printing cost by saving toner. It is useful for obtaining draft copies for proof-reading. You can select the toner saving economy mode through the Windows printer driver supplied with your printer. Sleep mode automatically reduces power consumption when the printer is not in use for a certain period of time. The printer consumes less than 5W(HL-5130/5140/5150D), 6W(HL5170DN) when in sleep mode. Since the toner cartridge is separate from the drum unit, you need to replace only the toner cartridge after printing around 6,700 (High-yield toner cartridge)/ 3,500 (Standard toner cartridge) pages at 5% coverage for A4 paper for the standard cartridge, which is both cost effective and ecologically friendly. Bar Code Print (HL-5140/5150D/5170DN only) The printer can print the following 11 types of bar codes; • Code 39 • US-PostNet • EAN-8 • Code 128 • ISBN • EAN-13 • Interleaved 2 of 5 • UPC-A • EAN-128 • Codabar • UPC-E Network Feature (for HL-5170DN only) The Brother printer has built in multi protocol network capability as standard. This allows multiple host computers to share the printer on a 10/100Mbps Ethernet network. Any users can print their jobs as if the printer was directly connected to their computer. Users on Windows® 95/98/Me, Windows® NT, Windows® 2000/XP, UNIX, Novell, Apple Macintosh, LAN server and OS/2 Warp server computer simultaneously can access this printer. For further information, see the Network User's Guide supplied with the printer. 1-2

USB Interface (for Windows



98/Me/2000/XP, iMac and Power Macintosh)

The printer can be connected using the Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface to a PC or Mac

which has a USB interface.

Drivers that allow you to use the USB port are provided on the

CD-ROM supplied with the printer.

Popular Printer Emulation Support (HL-5140/5150D/5170DN only)

These printers support the following printer emulation modes;

HP LaserJet (PCL6), PostScript



Level 3 language emulation (Brother BR-Script Level 3),

Epson FX-850 and IBM Proprinter XL.

HL-5140:only HP LaserJet (PCL6)

When you use DOS application software or Windows



version 3.0 or earlier, you can use any

of these emulations to operate the HL-5150D/5170DN printers.

The printers also support

auto-emulation switching between HP, Brother BR-Script 3 and Epson or HP, BR-Script 3 and

IBM.

If you want to set the printer emulation, you can do it using the Remote Printer Console

Program.

High Resolution Control

High Resolution Control (HRC) technology provides clear and crisp printouts.

Use this

function to get smooth text print quality. (300 dpi, 600dpi only)

Environment-Friendly

This feature will cut your printing cost by saving toner.

It is useful for obtaining draft copies for

proof-reading.

You can select the toner saving economy mode through the Windows



printer

driver supplied with your printer.

Sleep mode automatically reduces power consumption when the printer is not in use for a

certain period of time.

The printer consumes less than 5W(HL-5130/5140/5150D), 6W(HL-

5170DN) when in sleep mode.

Since the toner cartridge is separate from the drum unit, you need to replace only the toner

cartridge after printing around 6,700 (High-yield toner cartridge)/ 3,500 (Standard toner

cartridge) pages at 5% coverage for A4 paper for the standard cartridge, which is both cost

effective and ecologically friendly.

Bar Code Print (HL-5140/5150D/5170DN only)

The printer can print the following 11 types of bar codes;

•

Code 39

•

US-PostNet

•

EAN-8

•

Code 128

•

ISBN

•

EAN-13

•

Interleaved 2 of 5

•

UPC-A

•

EAN-128

•

Codabar

•

UPC-E

Network Feature (for HL-5170DN only)

The Brother printer has built in multi protocol network capability as standard.

This allows

multiple host computers to share the printer on a 10/100Mbps Ethernet network.

Any users

can print their jobs as if the printer was directly connected to their computer.

Users on

Windows

95/98/Me, Windows

NT, Windows

2000/XP, UNIX, Novell, Apple Macintosh, LAN

server and OS/2 Warp server computer simultaneously can access this printer.

For further

information, see the Network User’s Guide supplied with the printer.
