CHAPTER 1 GENERAL CHAPTER 1 1. FEATURES GENERAL This printer has the following features; High Resolution and Fast Print Speed True 600 x 600 dots per inch (dpi) (GDI mode) and true 300 x 300 dots per inch (dpi) (GDI mode) with microfine toner and up to 12 pages per minute (ppm) print speed (A4 or Letter paper). True 1200 x 600 dots per inch (dpi) for graphics and 600 x 600 dots per inch (dpi) (GDI mode) and true 300 x 300 dots per inch (dpi) (PCL mode) with microfine toner . Up to 14 pages per minute (ppm) print speed (A4 )and up to 15 pages per minute (ppm) print speed (Letter paper). True 600 x 600 , 300 x 300 dots per inch (dpi) and 1200 x 600 dots per inch (dpi) for graphics with microfine toner Up to 14 pages per minute (ppm) print speed (A4)and up to 15 pages per minute (ppm) print speed (Letter paper).Versatile Paper Handling The printer loads paper automatically from the paper cassette. The paper cassette can hold A4, letter, B5, Executive A5 and A6 sizes of paper. The manual feed slot allows manual paper loading sheet by sheet so you can use a variety of types and sizes of paper. Front Operation Basic operation of the printer can be controlled from the front panel. Enhanced Printing Performance and User-Friendly Operation for Windows The dedicated printer driver for Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me, and Windows NT 4.0/2000 are available on the CD-ROM supplied with your printer. You can easily install them into your Windows system using our installer program. The driver supports our unique compression mode to enhance printing speed in Windows applications and allows you to choose various printer settings including toner save mode, custom paper size, sleep mode, gray scale adjustment, resolution, water mark and many layout functions. You can easily setup these print options through the Printer Setup Menu. Printer Status Monitor with Bi-directional Parallel Interface The printer driver can monitor the status of your printer using bi-directional parallel communications. IEEE-1284 bi-directional parallel printer cable is recommended. The printer status monitor program can show the current status of your printer. If an error occurs, the printer status monitor will appear to let you know what to correct. If you have turned on the interactive Help ( Windows 95/98/Me only) you can get visual guidance on your PC screen on the actions in the event of certain printer errors. Quick Print Setup The Quick Print Setup is a convenient utility to allow you to make changes to frequently used driver settings easily without having to open the printer properties selection box every time. It is launched automatically into the task tray when this printer driver is selected. You can change the settings by clicking on the icon with the right mouse button. 1-1 CHAPTER 1 GENERAL Enhanced Memory Management The printer provides its own data compression technology in its printer hardware and the supplied printer driver software, which can automatically compress graphic data and font data efficiently into the printer's memory. You can avoid memory errors and print most full page 600 dpi graphic and text data, including large fonts, with the standard printer memory. USB Interface (for Windows 98/Me/2000, iMac and Power Macintosh G3 using USB with HL-1440/1450/1470N only) 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 CDROM supplied with the printer. Remote Printer Console Program for DOS (for HL-1440/1450/1470N only) The utility program, Remote Printer Console (RPC), is available on the CD-ROM supplied with your printer. When you operate your computer in a DOS (Disk Operating System) environment, this program allows you to easily change the default settings of the printer such as fonts, page setup and emulations. This program also provides a status monitor program, which is a Terminate-and-Stay Resident (TSR) program. It can monitor the printer status while running in the background and report the current status or errors on your computer screen. Popular Printer Emulation Support (for HL-1440/1450/1470N only) These printers support the following printer emulation modes; The HL-1440 supports HP LaserJet IIP.The HL-1450/1470N supports HP LaserJet 6P (PCL6), PostScript Level2 language emulation (Brother BR-Script Level 2), Epson FX-850 and IBM Proprinter XL. . When you use DOS application software or Windows version 3.0 or earlier, you can use any of these emulations to operate the HL-1450/1470N printers. The printers also support autoemulation switching between HP, Brother BR-Script 2 and Epson or HP, BR-Script 2 and IBM. If you want to set the printer emulation, you can do it using the Remote Printer Console Program. High Resolution Control & Advanced Photoscale Technology (for HL-1450/1470N only) High Resolution Control (HRC) technology provides clear and crisp printouts. Use this function to get smooth text print quality. Advanced Photoscale Technology (APT) enables the printer to print graphics in 256 grayscales, producing nearly photographic quality. Use this function when you want to print photographic images. 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 economy modes 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-1230), 6W (HL-1440/1450) or 12W (HL-1470N) when in sleep mode. Since the toner cartridge is separate from the drum unit, you need to replace only the toner cartridge after around 3,000 pages for the standard cartridge and around 6,000 pages for the optional high-capacity cartridge, which is both cost effective and ecologically friendly. 1-2 CHAPTER 1 GENERAL Bar Code Print (for HL-1450/1470N only) The printer can print the following 11 types of bar codes; · · · · Code 39 Code 128 Interleaved 2 of 5 Codabar · · · · US-PostNet ISBN UPC-A UPC-E · · · EAN-8 EAN-13 EAN-128 Network Feature (for HL-1470N only) The Brother printer has built in multi protocol network capability as standard. This allows multiple host computers to share the printer on a 10/100Mbit 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 NT4.0/2000 , 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. 1-3 CHAPTER 1 GENERAL 2.
