(object drawing, annotations, highlighting, etc.) you will also be able to use this software to view both colour and monochrome images, create cover sheets for use with the P2500, display thumbnails of graphics files in any of your directories and set up a referencing system for your files using DIR

(Document Indexing Retrieval). For more information, see “How to Scan” in this Chapter.

❏

TWAIN Compliant Scanner Driver (For Windows



and Macintosh users)

The scanner driver is TWAIN compliant which is a defacto standard. You can use the scanner in other TWAIN compliant applications as well as in the PaperPort

®

application or Unimessage

TM

Pro viewer application.

❏

Enhanced Printing Performance and User-friendly Operation for

Windows

®

The dedicated printer drivers for Microsoft

®

Windows

®

95/98, Windows

3.1x

®

and Windows NT

®

4.0 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 the 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 and many layout functions and so forth. You can easily set these print options through the

Printer Setup Menu.

❏

Popular Printer Emulation Support

The printer supports HP LaserJet 5P (PCL5e). When you use DOS application software or Windows® version 3.0 or earlier, you can use this emulation to operate the printer.

1-4


❏

Printer Status Monitor for USB interface cable or LPTx port users only (For Windows 95/98 users only)

The printer driver can monitor the status of your printer using bi-directional parallel communications. The use of a high quality IEEE 1284 compliant 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 status monitor will let you know what to correct. For example: when your printer is out of paper, the status monitor will display “ Cover Open ” and instructions for loading paper.

❏

USB Interface (For Windows 98, iMac and Power Macintosh G3 with

USB users Only)

This printer can be connected by the USB (Universal Serial Bus) Interface to a PC that has a USB interface. Drivers to allow you to use the USB port are provided on the CD-ROM supplied with the printer.

❏

Remote Printer Console Program for DOS

The Remote Printer Console (RPC) utility program is available on the CD-

ROM supplied with your machine. When you operate your computer in a

DOS (Disk Operating System) environment, this program allows you to easily

change the default settings of 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.

❏

Enhanced Memory Management

The printer provides its own data compression technology in the printer hardware and the supplied printer driver software, which compresses graphic 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 larger fonts, with the printer’s standard memory.

1-5

❏

Environment-Friendly

Economy Printing Mode

This feature will cut your printing cost by saving toner. It is useful to print draft copies for proof-reading. You can select economy modes through the

Windows printer driver supplied with your printer.

Sleep Mode (Power Save Mode)

When the printer is not used for a certain period of time, it goes into sleep mode to reduce power consumption. The printer consumes less than 10

Watts when in sleep mode.

Low Running Cost

Since the toner cartridge is separate from the drum unit, you must replace only the toner cartridge after approximately 3,000 pages, this is both cost effective and ecologically friendly. (An optional high capacity toner unit that will print up to 6,000 pages is also available for this printer.)

The actual number of pages printed with a toner cartridge may vary depending on your average type of print job, the figures quoted are based on 5% coverage per page.

You can print up to 20,000 pages with the drum unit, however there are many factors that determine the actual drum life.

❏

Bar Code Print

This printer can print the following 11 types of bar codes:

• Code 39 • UPC-E

• Interleaved 2 of 5

• EAN-8

• Codabar

• US-PostNet

❏

Lower Tray Unit (LT-400)

A lower tray unit expands the paper source capacity. You can load extra paper and switch between the upper and lower paper sources automatically.

See “The Lower Tray Unit” in Chapter 2.

❏

Memory Board

The printer has 4.0 Mbytes of standard memory. You can add one board of additional memory. The memory can be expanded up to a total of 12 or 20

it increases the performance of printer operations. See “How to add extra

Memory” in Chapter 2.

❏

External Print Server (Brother NC-2010p)

An optional Network print server Brother NC-2010p is available, which allows your printer to be connected to your Network using a parallel interface.

Remarks about paper

•

We recommend that you test paper, especially special sizes and types of paper, including heavy paper, on this printer before you purchase large quantities.

•

Avoid using coated paper, such as vinyl coated paper.

•

Avoid using preprinted or highly textured paper.

•

For optimum print quality, use a recommended type of paper, especially for plain paper and transparencies. For more information on paper specifications, consult your nearest Brother authorized sales representative or the place where you purchased your printer .

•

If the paper has problems feeding from the paper cassette, use the manual feed slot and try again.

•

To avoid damage to the printer’s drum unit, use neutral paper. Do not use acid paper.

•

For optimum print quality, make sure you select the appropriate media type in the printer driver.

•

If you use the printer for special print jobs for more than short periods of time (for example, printing of name cards) the print quality may be degraded or the life of the drum unit may be shortened.

Cut Sheet

We recommend that you use long-grained paper for the best print quality.

If you are using short-grained paper, it may cause paper jams.

1-13

Labels / Transparencies

•

Avoid feeding labels with the carrier sheet exposed, or your printer will be damaged.

•

We recommend that you use only labels and transparencies that are designed for use in laser printers.

Special Paper

The printer has only one slot for a memory board upgrade. If you want to increase your printer memory again after you have already installed a memory board module into the slot, you will need to remove the previously installed memory board first. Then you can install a different memory board. For example, if you previously increased the printer memory from the standard

4MB to 12MB by adding an 8MB memory board, you would have remove the installed 8MB memory board if you wanted to install a new 16 MB memory board into the printer.

Printing with a 3rd party toner or toner cartridge may reduce not only the print quality but also the quality and life of the printer itself. It may also cause serious damage to the performance and life of a genuine Brother drum unit. Warranty coverage is not applied to problems caused by the use of 3rd party toner or toner cartridges.

•

Printing with a 3rd party drum unit or OPC drum may reduce not only the print quality but also the quality and life of the printer itself. Warranty cover is not applied to problems or damage caused by the use of a 3rd party drum unit or OPC drum.

How to Replace the Drum Unit

The printer uses a drum unit to create the print images on paper. When the

‘ CHANGE DRUM SOON’ message appears on the LCD display, it indicates that the drum unit is near the end of its life. Purchase a new drum unit to replace the current one.

!

Caution

•

When removing the drum unit, handle it carefully because it contains toner.

•

You should clean the printer when you replace the drum unit. See “How to clean the printer” in this chapter and in the instructional video on the

supplied CD-ROM.

✒ Note

•

The drum unit is a consumable, and it is necessary to replace it periodically.

•

There are many factors that determine the actual drum life, such as temperature, humidity, type of paper, your typical type of print job and the amount of toner it uses and the number of pages per print job, etc.. The average drum life is estimated at approximately 20,000 pages. The actual number of pages that your drum will print may be significantly less than this estimate. Because we have no control over the many factors that determine the actual drum life, we cannot guarantee a minimum number of pages that will be printed by your drum.

•

For best performance, use only genuine Brother toner. The product should only be used in a clean, dust-free environment with adequate ventilation.

3-9

Follow these steps to replace the drum unit. You can also view the drum unit replacement method in the instructional video on the supplied CD-ROM:

☛ 1.

Open the front cover of the printer and pull out the drum unit assembly.

Fig. 3-13 Removing the Toner Cartridge

✒ Note

•

Discard the used drum unit according to local regulations. If you are not sure of them, consult your local dealer/retailer. Be sure to seal up the drum unit tightly so that toner powder does not spill out of the unit. Do not discard used drum units together with domestic waste.

•

We recommend that you place the drum unit on a piece of cloth or disposable paper in case you accidentally spill or scatter toner.

•

Handle the toner cartridge carefully as it contains toner. If toner scatters and your hands or clothes get dirty, wipe or wash it off with cold water immediately.

☛ 3.

Unpack the new drum unit.

!

Caution

•

Wait to unpack a drum unit immediately before you are ready to install it into the printer. If an unpacked drum unit is subjected to excessive direct sunlight or room light, the unit may be damaged.

IMPORTANT - For Your Safety

To ensure safe operation the three-pin electrical plug supplied must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power point which is properly grounded through normal household wiring.

Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-pin plug type and correctly wired to provide proper grounding. Incorrectly wired extension cords may cause personal injury and equipment damage.

The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power is grounded and that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding of the power, consult a qualified electrician.

Disconnect device

This printer must be installed near a power outlet which is easily accessible. In case of emergencies, you must disconnect the power cord from the power outlet in order to shut off power completely.

Geräuschemission / Acoustic Noise Emission (For Germany Only)

Lpa < 70 dB (A) DIN 45635-19-01-KL2 vi

APPENDIX

IMPORTANT - Wiring Information (For U.K. only)

If the power cord supplied with this printer is not suitable for your electrical outlet, remove the plug from the mains cord and fit an appropriate three pin plug. If the replacement plug is intended to take a fuse then fit a fuse with the same rating as the original.

If a moulded plug is severed from the power cord then it should be destroyed because a plug with cut wires is dangerous if plugged into a live socket outlet. Do not leave it where a child might find it.

In the event of replacing the plug fuse, fit a fuse approved by ASTA to BS1362 with the same rating as the original fuse.

Always replace the fuse cover. Never use a plug with the cover omitted.

WARNING - THIS PRINTER MUST BE PROPERLY EARTHED.

The wires in the mains cord are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and yellow: Ground

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live

The colours of the wiring in the power lead of this printer may not correspond with the markings which identify the terminals in your plug. If you need to fit a different plug, proceed as follows.

Remove a length of the cord outer sheath, taking care not to damage the coloured insulation of the wires inside.

Cut each of the three wires to the appropriate length. If the construction of the plug permits, leave the green and yellow wire longer than the others so that, in the event that the cord is pulled out of the plug, the green and yellow wire will be the last to disconnect.

Remove a short section of the coloured insulation to expose the wires.

The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter “E” or by the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.

vii

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “N” or coloured black or blue.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “L” or coloured red or brown.

The outer sheath of the cord must be secured inside the plug. The coloured wires should not hang out of the plug.
