1 - 5 ABOUT THIS PRINTER
Features
This printer has the following standard features.
2400 DPI class resolution
This printer prints at a default resolution of 600 dots per inch (dpi). You can get a higher print quality,
equivalent to 2400 dpi class resolution by using Brother technologies: High Resolution Control (HRC)
and Color Advanced Photoscale Technology (CAPT).
High speed and color laser printing
You can print crisp images in brilliant 24-bit color.
This printer can print at speeds up to 29 pages per minute in monochrome mode and 8 pages per minute
in full color mode. The HL-2700CN controller uses a high speed 64-bit RISC microprocessor and special
hardware chips, to ensure fast print job processing.
Color Advanced Photoscale Technology (CAPT)
This printer can print graphics in 256 shades for each color in PCL6 emulation and BR-Script3, producing
nearly photographic quality. CAPT is most effective when printing photographic images.
High Resolution Control (HRC)
The High Resolution Control (HRC) technology gives you clear and crisp printouts and improves even
600-dpi resolution output. HRC is most effective when printing text.
Maintenance-free and economical toner cartridge
This printer uses four easy-to-replace toner cartridges. The toner cartridges can print up to 6,600 (Cyan,
Magenta and Yellow) and 10,000 (Black) single-sided pages at approximately 5% coverage.
Universal paper tray
This printer loads paper automatically from the paper tray. Since the paper tray is a universal type, a
number of different paper sizes (one paper size at a time) can be used. Even envelopes can be loaded
from the paper tray. For detailed paper specifications, see What kind of paper can I use? on page 1-10.
Three interfaces
This printer has a high speed, bi-directional parallel, a Hi-Speed USB 2.0, and an Ethernet
10/100BASE-TX interface.
If your application software supports the bi-directional parallel interface, you can monitor the printer
status. It is fully compatible with the industry-standard bi-directional parallel interface.
The Brother network board is factory installed in the HL-2700CN, which enables you to use this printer
in the TCP/IP, IPS/SPX, AppleTalk, DLC/LLC and NetBEUI environments. Also, many useful utilities,
such as BRAdmin Professional utility for the administrator and Brother network printing software, are
included in the CD-ROM supplied with the HL-2700CN printer. For setup, see the Network User's Guide,
which is provided on the CD-ROM.
