CHAPTER 3
BEFORE WORKING WITH THE PRINTER
AUTOMATIC EMULATION SELECTION
This printer has an automatic emulation selection function. When the
printer receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the
emulation mode. This function has been factory set to ON.
The printer can select the emulation among the following combinations:
EPSON/IBM Priority EPSON (default) IBM
Auto Selection Mode HP PCL 5C HP PCL 5C
BR-Script 2 BR-Script 2
HP-GL HP-GL
EPSON FX-850 IBM Proprinter XL
To get the most out of this laser printer, we recommend you use the
Brother BR-Script 2 emulation.
The printer is set to the HP color printer emulation (PCL5C) mode
automatically. Since PCL5C mode takes the highest priority in the
automatic emulation selection, you can start using the printer as it is with
the factory settings in most cases.
When the automatic emulation selection is active, you can check the
current emulation on the display. When the printer is in ready, print or
wait modes, the display reads as follows:
Emulation Status Display in Ready State
HP PCL5C LJ READY 001P T1
BR-Script 2 BS IDLE 001P T1
HP-GL GL READY 001P T1
EPSON FX-850 FX READY 001P T1
IBM Proprinter XL PR READY 001P T1
✒ Notes
Emulation modes other than PCL5C and BR-Script 2 are monochrome
emulation modes.
To select the emulation mode manually, use the
Emulation
button. For
further information, see “EMULATION Button” in Chapter 4.
