Using the control panel

Printer Emulation Support

Your machine will receive print commands in a printer job language or emulation. Different operating systems 1 and applications will send the print commands in different languages. Your machine can receive print commands in a variety of emulations and has an automatic emulation selection feature. When the machine receives data from the computer, it automatically chooses the emulation mode. The default setting is Auto.

Your machine has the following emulation modes. You can change the setting by using the control panel or Web Based Management (web browser). To use Web Based Management, type http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of your machine) into your browser.

HP LaserJet Mode

The HP LaserJet mode (or HP mode) is the emulation mode in which this printer supports the PCL6 language of a Hewlett-Packard LaserJet laser printer. Many applications support this type of laser printer. Using this mode will allow your machine to run at its best with those applications.

BR-Script 3 Mode

BR-Script is an original Brother page description language and a PostScript® language emulation interpreter. This machine supports PostScript® 3™. The BR-Script interpreter of this machine allows you to control text and graphics on the page.
