This printer has an Automatic interface selection function. When the printer
receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the interface as
appropriate.
When you use the parallel interface, you can turn the high-speed and bi-
directional parallel communications on or off with parallel menu in
INTERFACE mode by using the Control panel
. For further information, see
Chapter 3 . Since the automatic interface selection mode has been factory
set to ON, simply connect the interface cable to the printer.
If a Network board (Brother NC-4100h) has been installed, Select
NETWORK mode by using the Control panel
When necessary, select the interface or the network communications
parameters manually with the INTERFACE mode by using the Control panel.
For further information, see Chapter 3. For the settings on the computer, see
the manual of the computer or software you are using.

Note
When you use the Automatic interface selection, note the following:
•
This function takes a few seconds to work. If you want to speed up
printing, select the required interface manually with the SELECT menu
in INTERFACE mode by using the Control panel.
If you constantly use only one interface, we recommend that you select that
interface in the INTERFACE mode. The printer allocates all of the input buffer
to that interface if only one interface is selected.
