Brother HL-1040, HL-820, HL-1020 manual Enhanced Memory Management, USB Interface for HL-1050 only

￿Low Running Cost

The toner cartridge is separate from the drum unit. You need to replace only the toner cartridge after around 2,400 pages, which is cost effective and ecologically friendly.

The actual number of pages printed with each toner cartridge may vary depending on your average type of print job.

Enhanced Memory Management

The printer provides its own data compression technology in its printer hardware and the supplied printer driver software, which can automatically compress graphic data and font data efficiently into the printer's memory. You can avoid memory errors and print most full page 600dpi graphic and text data, including large fonts, with the standard printer memory.

When you operate your computer in the DOS (Disk Operating System) environment, this program allows you to easily change the default settings of the printer such as fonts, page setup, emulations and so on.
