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.
