manual abstract
This printer uses one piece, easy-to-replace toner cartridges. Universal Paper Cassette This printer loads paper automatically from the paper cassette. Since the paper cassette is a universal type, a number of different paper sizes can be used. Even envelopes can be loaded from the paper cassette. For detailed paper specifications, see ‘Paper Handling’ in Chapter 3. Three Interfaces This printer has three interfaces: high speed bi-directional parallel, USB and Ethernet 10/100Base TX. If your application software supports the bidirectional parallel interface, you can monitor the printer status. It is fully compatible with the industry-standard bi-directional parallel interface. The Brother network board (NC-4100h) is factory installed in the HL3450CN, this enables you to use this printer in the TCP/IP, IPS/SPX, Apple Talk, DLC/LLC, Banyan VINES, DEC LAT and NetBEUI environments. The CD-ROM supplied with the HL-3450CN printer includes many useful utilities, such as BRAdmin Professional for the administrator and Brother network printing software. For setup, see the Network User’s Guide. Automatic Interface Selection This printer can automatically select the bi-directional parallel, USB or Ethernet 10/100Base TX interface, depending on the interface port through which it receives data. With this feature, the printer can be connected to more than one computer. 1-7 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION This printer can emulate the Hewlett-Packard® Color PCL® 5C language (PCL6® in monochrome printing) printers, PostScript®3 language emulation (Brother BR-Script3) printers, the industry-standard HP-GL™ plotter as well as EPSON® FX-850™ and IBM® Proprinter XL® printers (for monochrome printing only). You can print with all application programs that support one of these printers. Automatic Emulation Selection This printer can automatically select the printer emulation mode depending on the print commands it receives from the computer software. With this feature, many users can share the printer on a network. Data Compression Technology This printer can internally compress the received graphics and font data in its memory so it can print larger graphics and more fonts without the need for additional memory. Various Fonts This printer has 66 scalable and 12 bitmapped fonts. The fonts that can be used will vary according to the selected emulation mode. In PCL mode, you can print 13 kinds of bar codes that are listed on the next page. In BR-Script mode, the printer has 165 scalable fonts. 1-8 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION g This printer can print the following 13 types of bar codes: • Code 39 • UPC-E • Interleaved 2 of 5 • Codabar • EAN-8 • FIM (US-PostNet) • EAN-13 • PostNet (US-PostNet) • EAN-128 • ISBN (EAN) • Code 128 • ISBN (UPC-E) • UPC-A CCITT G3/G4 Since this printer supports the CCITT G3/G4 format in addition to HP- compatible formats, it can quickly receive and print data compressed in this format. Panel Lock Function If the panel button settings have been changed, the printer may not work as you expect. If you are an administrator of this printer, you can lock your settings to prevent changes from being made. See “LOCK PANEL” in the “SETUP” menu in Chapter 4. Power Save Mode This printer has a power save mode. Since laser printers consume power to keep the fixing assembly at a high temperature, this feature can save electricity when the printer is on but not being used. The factory setting of the Power Save mode is ON so that it complies with the new EPA Energy Star specification. 1-9 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION This printer has an economical Toner Save Mode. By using this feature, you can substantially reduce printer operating costs and extend the life expectancy of the toner cartridges. Reprint Function You can reprint the last print job with a touch of a panel button, which allows reprinting of multiple copies of the job without sending the data again from the computer. If you have not installed an HDD or CompactFlash card, you can still reprint from RAM. See“REPRINT BUTTON” in Chapter 4 for more information. When there is not enough memory to print the last job, you can reprint the last page. 1-10 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION ® Calibrated There are many variables in process reproduction of colors generated by the HL-3450CN, any one of which may affect the quality of the PANTONE Color simulation, including: • Type of paper used • Type of toner used • Effective final resolution • Dot structure/halftones For optimal results, we recommend that the following materials and settings be used: 1. NEUSIEDLER Color copy 90g 2. Brother Toner Cartridges TN-02 BK/C/M/Y 3. Pantone Mode (600 dpi x 600 dpi) Network Ethernet 10/100BaseTX enables you to use the printer in the followkng environments. (TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, AppleTalk, DLC/LLC, VINES, LAT, NetBEUI) Also, many useful utilities, such as BRAdmin Professional and Brother Network Printing software for the Network...
