USER’S GUIDE

Automatic Emulation Selection

This printer can automatically select the printer emulation mode depending on the print commands it receives from the computer software. With this feature, many users can share the printer on a network. See page 3-3.

Data Compression Technology

This printer can internally compress the received graphics and font data in its memory so that it can print larger graphics and more fonts without additional memory.

Memory Expansion

This printer has 2-Mbyte or 4-Mbyte of RAM as standard. It can be expanded up to 66 Mbytes. The memory should be expanded to 6 Mbytes in total or more to enjoy 600-dpi or APT printouts in the BR-Script 2 mode. When you select duplex mode with an optional duplex unit installed, the memory should be expanded to 10Mbytes in total or more to enjoy 600-dpi duplex printing. See pages 4-28and 5-7.(The standard memory fitted can vary depending on the printer model and country.)
