CHAPTER 1 GENERAL
Universal Paper Cassette and Manual Loading
This printer loads paper automatically from the paper cassette. Since the
paper cassette is a universal type, a number of different sizes of paper can
be used. Even envelopes can be loaded from the multi-purpose tray and
the upper paper cassette. In addition, the multi-purpose tray allows you to
load paper sheet by sheet. See
3-15
for auto loading and
3-16
for manual
loading.
Four Interfaces
This printer has a high speed bi-directional parallel interface, an RS-232C
serial interface, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) (HL-1660e only), and a
modular input/output (MIO) compatible interface.
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. See page
2-17.
The RS-232C serial interface is an industry standard so that you can
connect it to any computer using a standard serial cable. See page 2-17.
The Universal Serial Bus is an interface which allows the printer connect
with multiple peripheral devices. (HL-1660e only)
The MIO interface allows you to install a commercial MIO-compatible
card. If you install the card, you can use one more interface port for
features such as networking or printer sharing. See page 5-6.
Automatic Interface Selection
This printer can automatically select the bi-directional parallel, RS-232C
serial, Universal Serial Bus (HL-1660e only), or MIO interface depending
on the interface port through which it receives data. With this feature, the
printer can be connected to more than one computer. See page 3-5.
