Laser Printer HL-1850 and HL-1870N

Quick Setup Guide

Read the "Safety Sheet" first to ensure that you use this printer safely. Read this "Quick Setup Guide" before you set up the printer.

Before you can use the printer, you must set up the hardware and install the driver.

Identify the operating system on your computer (Windows® 95 / 98 / Me, Windows NT® 4.0, Windows® 2000 / XP or Macintosh® ).

The interface cable is not a standard accessory. Please purchase the appropriate interface cable for the interface you intend to use (Parallel, USB or Network).

Most existing parallel cables support bi-directional communication, but some might have an incompatible pin assignment or may not be IEEE 1284 compliant.

If you are an Administrator: Configure your network printer settings referring to the Network Quick Setup Guide (reverse side).

Some illustrations are based on the HL-1870N.
