This printer has an Automatic interface selection function. When the printer
receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the interface that is
appropriate.
When you use the parallel interface, you can turn the high-speed and bi-
directional parallel communications on or off in the parallel menu using the
control panel in INTERFACE mode. For more information, see Chapter 3.
Since the automatic interface selection mode has been factory set to ON,
simply connect the interface cable to the printer.
When you use the serial interface, you need to have the same
communications settings on both the printer and the computer. Since the
automatic interface selection mode has been factory set with certain
settings, you may be able to simply connect the interface cable to the printer
if your computer has the settings listed below.
Communications parameters Factory settings
Baud rate (data transfer speed) 9600
Code type (data length) 8 bits
Parity (data error check) None
Stop bit (data separator) 1 stop bit

DTR (ER) ON

If a Network board (Brother NC-4100h) has been installed, use the control
panel to select NETWORK.
When necessary, use the control panel in the INTERFACE mode to select
the interface or the serial communications parameters manually. For more
information, see Chapter 3. For the computer settings, see the manual for
the computer or software you are using.
