Brother HL-600 manual Bi-Directional Parallel Interface

USER’S GUIDE

❏Bi-Directional Parallel Interface

The parallel interface of this printer allows bi-directional communication with a computer. This interface allows the printer to communicate back to the computer useful information such as the amount of memory installed, and other printer setup conditions. As the supplied Remote Printer Console or Windows 3.1 driver both support the bi-directional mode, they can both report the printer status.

❏Optional Apple Macintosh Interface (Pre-installed in some countries)

The optional Apple Macintosh serial interface kit is available, which allows your printer to be connected to Apple Macintosh computers. With this option, you can use your printer with both an IBM PC, or compatible and an Apple Macintosh at the same time. This optional interface board can be used as an RS-422A interface for Macintosh or an RS-232C serial interface for IBM PC or compatible.

❏Enhanced Memory Management

The printer has its own Data Compression Technology, which can automatically compress graphic data and download font data efficiently into the printer’s memory. You can avoid memory errors and print most full page 300 dpi graphic and text data, including larger fonts, with the printer’s standard memory.

❏Environmentally Friendly Economy Printing Mode

This feature will cut your printing cost by around 50% by saving toner. This feature is useful when draft copies are used for proof- reading. You can select this mode on/off through the Remote Print Console software or Windows printer driver supplied with your printer.

Sleep Mode

Sleep mode automatically reduces power consumption when the printer is not in use. The printer consumes less than 10W when in sleep mode.

Low Running Cost

The toner cartridge is separate from the Drum Unit. You need to replace only the toner cartridge after around 3,000 pages, which is cost effective and ecologically friendly.
