Automatic Emulation Selection

This printer has an Automatic Emulation Selection feature. When the printer receives data from the 
computer, it automatically chooses the emulation mode. This feature has been set at the factory to 

ON

. 

The printer can choose from the following combinations: 

To get the most out of this laser printer, we recommend that you use the Brother BR-Script3 emulation.

The printer is set to the HP color printer emulation (PCL 5C) mode automatically. Since PCL 5C mode 
takes the highest priority in the Automatic Emulation Selection, in most cases you can start using the 
printer as it is with the factory settings.

You can select the emulation mode manually by using the control panel to access 

EMULATION

 in the 

SETUP

 menu. See 

SETUP

 on page 3-12.

Emulation modes other than PCL 6, PCL 5C and BR-Script3 are monochrome emulation modes.

When you use the Automatic Emulation Selection, note the following:

■

The EPSON or IBM emulation mode priority must be selected, because the printer cannot 
distinguish between them. Since the factory setting is EPSON emulation mode, you might need 
to select the IBM emulation mode by using the control panel to access 

EMULATION

 in the 

SETUP

 menu.

Try Automatic Emulation Selection with your application software or network server. If it does 
not work properly, select the emulation mode manually by using either the printer control panel 
buttons or the emulation selection commands from your software.
