Automatic emulation selecti on (HL-4050CDN / HL-4070CDW only) 3

This printer has an automatic emulation selection feature that is turne d on by default. This lets it automatically

change the emulation mode to suit the type of data it receives.

You can change the setting by using the control pan el or Web Based Management (Web browser).

Automatic interface selection 3

This printer has an automatic interface selection feature that is turned on by default. This lets it automatically

change the interface to IEEE 1284 paralle l (HL-4050CDN / HL-4070CDW only), USB, or Ethernet depending

on which interface is receiving data.

Since the default setting is on for the automatic interface selection mod e, simply connect the interface cable

to the printer. Always turn off both your computer an d printer when connecting or disconnecting the cable.

Auto Interface selection can take a few seconds to work. If you only use one interface it would be advisab le

to select that interface; use the control pan el to access the General Setup me nu, choose Interface and

then choose Select. If only one interface is chosen, the printer will allocate the entire in put buffer to that

interface.
