Maintenance-Free and Economical Toner Cartridge 

The toner cartridge can print up to 14,000 (Black) and up to 8,500 (Cyan, 
Magenta and Yellow) single-sided A4 / Letter pages at 5% coverage. This 
printer uses one piece, easy-to-replace toner cartridges. 

Universal Paper Cassette 

This printer loads paper automatically from the paper cassette. Since the 
paper cassette is a universal type, a number of different paper sizes can be 
used. Even envelopes can be loaded from the paper cassette. For detailed 
paper specifications, see 

‘Paper Handling’ in Chapter 3

. 

Three Interfaces 

This printer has three interfaces: high speed bi-directional parallel, USB and 
Ethernet 10/100Base TX.  If your application software supports the bi-
directional parallel interface, you can monitor the printer status. It is fully 
compatible with the industry-standard bi-directional parallel interface. 

The Brother network board (NC-4100h) is factory installed in the HL-
3450CN, this enables you to use this printer in the TCP/IP, IPS/SPX, Apple 
Talk, DLC/LLC, Banyan VINES, DEC LAT and NetBEUI environments. The 
CD-ROM supplied with the HL-3450CN printer includes  many useful 
utilities, such as BRAdmin Professional for the administrator and Brother 
network printing software.   For setup, see the Network User’s Guide. 

Automatic Interface Selection 

This printer can automatically select the bi-directional parallel, USB or 
Ethernet 10/100Base TX interface, depending on the interface port through 
which it receives data.  With this feature, the printer can be connected to 
more than one computer.
