About Emulation Modes

This printer has the following emulation modes:

■HP PCL5C Mode

This printer emulates Hewlett-Packard PCL5C color printers and PCL6 monochrome printers. This is the default emulation setting of the printer. Since many popular software packages support this emulation, this may be the best choice for general use.

■BR-Script 2 Mode (color)

BR-Script is a Brother original page description language and it is a PostScript® language emulation interpreter. This printer has level 2 BR- Script, which supports full color printing at 600 dpi. BR-Script enables superior control for text and graphics printing. The HL-3400CN will deliver optimum performance in this mode.

Average users do not need to know much about PostScript® language. If you want to obtain technical information about PostScript® commands, see the following commercial manuals:

■HP-GL Mode (monochrome)

The HP-GL mode is the emulation mode where this printer emulates the Hewlett-Packard plotter model HP-7475A. Since many graphics and CAD applications support this type of plotter, you can get more out of this printer working with your application software.

■EPSON FX-850 and IBM Proprinter XL Mode (monochrome)

The EPSON FX-850 and IBM Proprinter XL emulations allow the HL- 3400CN to support the printer control language of industry-standard dot matrix printers.
