CHAPTER I
PRODUCT OUTLINE
CHAPTER I PRODUCT OUTLINE
1. FEATURES
This printer has the following features:
2400 dpi Class Resolution

The printer prints at a default resolution of 600 dots per inch (dpi).
You can get a higher print quality, equivalent to 2400 dpi class
resolution by using Brother technologies: High Resolution Control
(HRC) and Color Advanced Photoscale Technology (CAPT).
High Speed Color Laser Printing
You can print crisp images in brilliant 24-bit color.
This printer can print at speeds up to 31 pages per minute in
monochrome mode and 8 pages per minute in full color mode. The
HL-2700CN controller uses a high speed 64-bit RISC microprocessor
and special hardware chips, to ensure fast print job processing.
High Resolution Control (HRC)
The high resolution control (HRC) technology gives you clear and
crisp printouts and improves even the 600 dpi resolution. HRC is
most effective when printing text data.
Color Advanced Photoscale Technology (CAPT)
This printer can print graphics in 256 shades for each color in PCL6
emulation and BR-Script3, producing nearly photographic quality.
CAPT is most effective when printing photographic images.
Maintenance-Free Toner Cartridge
This printer uses four easy-to-replace toner cartridges. The toner
cartridges can print up to 6,600 (Cyan, Magenta and Yellow) and
10,000 (Black) single-sided pages at approximately 5% coverage.
Universal Paper Tray
This printer loads paper automatically from the paper tray. Since the
paper tray is a universal type, a number of different paper sizes (one
paper size at a time) can be used. Even envelopes can be loaded
from the paper tray.
I-1
Three Interfaces
This printer has a high speed, bi-directional parallel interface, USB
and Ethernet 10/100BaseTX.
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.
HL-2700CN can use the TCP/IP, IPS/SPX, Apple Talk, DLC/LLC,

Banyan VINES, DEC LAT and NetBEUI environments. Also, many
useful utilities, such as BRAdminProfessional for the administrator
and Brother network printing software, are included in the CD-ROM
supplied with the HL-2700CN printer.
Automatic Interface Selection

The printer can automatically select the bi-directional parallel, USB,
NETWORK depending on the interface port through which it receives
data. With this feature, the printer can be connected to more than one
computer.
Five Emulation Modes
The printer can emulate Hewlett-Packard Color PCL® 5C (PCL6® in
monochrome mode) and PostScript® 3 language emulation (Brother
BR-Script 3) printers, the industry-standard HP-GL™ plotter as well
as EPSON® FX-850™, and IBM® Proprinter XL® printers (in
monochrome mode). You can print with all application programs that
support one of these printers.
Automatic Emulation Selection
The printer can automatically select the printer emulation mode,
depending on the print commands it receives from the computer
software. With this feature, many users can share the printer on a
network.
Data Compression Technology
The printer can internally compress the received graphics and font
data in its memory so it can print larger graphics and more fonts
without additional memory.
I-2
Various Fonts
The printer has 66 scalable and 12 bitmapped fonts. The fonts that
can be used will vary according to the selected emulation mode.
In PCL mode, you can also print the 13 kinds of bar codes listed
below. In BR-Script mode, the printer has 35 scalable fonts.
< Bar Code Printing >
This printer can print the following 13 types of bar codes:
• Code 39 • UPC-E
• Interleaved 2 of 5 • Codabar
• EAN-8 • FIM (US-PostNet)
• EAN-13 • Post Net (US-PostNet)
• EAN-128 • ISBN (EAN)
• Code 128 • ISBN (UPC-E)
• UPC-A
Panel Lock Setting
If the panel button settings have been changed, the printer may not
work as expected. If you are an administrator of this printer, you can
lock the settings to prevent changes from being made.
Power Save Mode
The printer has a power saving mode. Since laser printers consume
power to keep the fixing assembly at a high temperature, this feature
can save electricity when the printer is ON but not being used. The
factory setting of the Power Save mode is ON so that it complies with
the EPA Energy Star new specification.
Toner Save Mode
The printer has an economical toner save mode. By using this feature
you can substantially reduce operating costs and extend the life
expectancy of the toner cartridges.
Reprint Setting
The printer saves data that you reprinted. You can reprint a
document without sending the data again from your PC. If you do not
install a CompactFlash™ card, you can reprint from RAM.
Network
Ethernet 10/100BASE-TX enables you to use the printer in the
following environments:
(TCP/IP, IPX/PSX, Apple Talk, DLC/LLC, NetBEUI)
Also, many useful utilities, such as BRAdminProfessional Utility,
Driver Development Wizard and Web BRAdmin software for the
Network administrator, are included.

1. CONDITIONS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION

Any Laser beam printer is likely to be influenced by the environment of the set-up
location. If the printer is set-up in an inappropriate location, the printer may not perform
as expected. Therefore, the following factors should be taken into consideration before
deciding where to set-up the printer.
WARNING
This printer may have to be powered off by turning off the power switch or unplugged in
some cases. The power switch is located at the lower left of the left side cover PU.
The power cord is connected to the back of the printer. Set the printer so that the power
switch or cord can be easily accessible just in case.
1.1. Environmental Conditions

The printer should not be set up in the locations referred to in the following items (a)
through (d) which specify inappropriate locations for set-up.
(a) Where it is likely to receive direct sunlight or similar light. (For example, next to a
window)
(b) Where it is likely to suffer a big difference in temperature and humidity between the
maximum and minimum levels. (Normal operation environment is within 10°C ∼
32.5°C, 20 ∼ 80%RH and without any condensation.)
(c) Where it is likely to be in a draft of cold air from an air-conditioner or warm air from a
heater, or to receive direct radiant heat.
(d) Where it is likely to cause humid, dust, smoke, oil mist or ammonia gas.
(e) Where it is likely to use the ultrasonic humidifier.
(f) Where it is likely to have poor ventilation.
(g) Where it is likely to have unstable condition in terms of set-up table etc.

<Basic Mechanism of Color Printing>

(1) Principle of Color Printing
Color printing is made through the subtractive process by combining the three
primary colors, yellow, magenta, and cyan. Fig.4-2 shows the three primary colors
and subtractive process:
C
Y: Yellow
M: Magenta
B G C: Cyan
R: Red
K G: Green
B: Blue
M R Y K: Black
Fig.4-2
(2) Basic Color Printing Process

(a) The printer has a Toner Cartridge of each color yellow, magenta, cyan and black
as shown in Fig.4-3.
(b) The toner image developed using the primary colors is transferred to the transfer
drum for the printed color combination as shown in Fig.4-4 a .
(c) The toner image formed on the transfer drum is transferred to the transported
paper as shown in Fig.4-4 b .
(d) The toner on the paper is fused by the thermal fixing unit to fix the toner image
onto the paper as shown in Fig.4-4 c .
Summarizing the above processes, a toner color layer is formed on the

transported paper, and subsequently, the color image is made through the
subtractive process.

1.1.2 Basic Structure of the Printing System
A toner image is formed through the potential of the OPC belt varying in each of the
charger, exposure, development, transfer and cleaning processes.
(1) Process of Print System (See Fig.4-9.)

i) The OPC belt is biased to the voltage -CBV(V) by the power supply CBV.
ii) A negative high voltage is applied to the charger unit by the power supply CHV,
and a corona is generated as the result.
iii) The developer magnetic roller of the toner cartridges is biased to -DBV(V) by
the power supply DBV.
iv) The frame potential of the transfer drum is GND.

(2) Variation of OPC Belt Potential (See Fig.4-10.)
i) The OPC belt is initially biased to -CBV(V).
ii) The OPC belt surface is evenly charged to V0(V) in the charging process.
iii) The potential of the exposure part of the OPC belt is reduced to -VR(V) as it is
exposed to the laser beam in the process of exposing, and an electrostatic
latent image is formed on the OPC belt as the result.
iv) Negatively charged toner is moved onto the exposed part of the OPC belt in
the development process due to the difference of potential between -VR(V)
(the latent image) and -DBV(V), and a visible toner image is formed as the
result.
v) Negatively charged toner on the OPC belt moves to the transfer drum surface
in the transfer process because the GND potential of the transfer drum is
greater than -VR(V) of the OPC belt.
vi) The OPC belt is discharged by the erase lamp.

attraction between the potential of toner and the potential -VR(V) at the
exposed area of OPC belt. (Toner image is formed (visible) on the OPC belt.)
iv) On the other hand, no development takes place at the non-exposed area
because the potential of toner and that of OPC belt is identical pole and
therefore repels each other.

(2) Laser Drive Control Circuit
Laser Drive Control Circuit (LDC) consists of the video signal input circuit, laser
drive circuit, laser diode, output sensing circuit and output control circuit, as shown
in Fig.4-33.
<Operation>
(1) When the video signal is inputted, the laser drive control circuit has the laser
diode switched on and radiated according to the video signal.
(2) Radiated laser beam is sensed by the photo detector (PD), and the detecting
signal is fed back to the output control circuit.
(3) Output control circuit controls the radiation output to be constant, by comparing
the laser output default with the feed-back value transmitted from the output
sensing circuit.
(4) Laser beam scanned by the scanner motor is sensed by the beam detector
(PD), and then, the beam detecting timing (BDT) signal will be outputted.

(3) Control of the Fusing Temperature
Each roller of the fusing unit is controlled to maintain the appropriate temperature
so that toner will be fixed correctly onto the print paper.
<Basic Structure of Temperature Control (Fig.4-34)>

FLS: Thyristor to control the on/off operation of power supply to the
heat lamp.
THS1 / Thermostat to shut down the circuit for safety when it will be
THS2: too hot within the fuser unit FU.
TH: Temperature sensor to detect the surface temperature of the
heat roller (HR).
RY: Relay to prevent the further heating when it will be hotter than
the set point within the fuser unit FU.
GA/CPU: Process circuit to process the temperature signal(micro
computer).
CM1: Sensor circuit for temperature signal (for ACOFF signal).
CM2: Sensor circuit for temperature signal (for HON signal).
CM3: Sensor circuit for temperature signal (for processing).
Q: Sensor circuit for shut-down by the thermistor (for THERR
signal).
HR: Back-up roller.
< Signal Functions >

HON-N To turn on/off the heater in side the fusing roller.
ACOFF To turn off the relay RY1 when it is sensed too hot.
THERR To detect the shut-down by the thermistor.
AD To convert the temperature sensing signal to AD.
<Controlled Temperature and Safety>
TPS

Temperature (160) C TS

Time

IV-36
IV-37
TS: To maintain the set point (temperature) for fusing of toner to
be approx. 160°C as appropriate by turning on/off the thyristor.
TA: Reference temperature (approx. 185°C) to identify that it is

excessively hot inside the fusing unit. When it reaches to this
point, the relay RY turns off, the power supply to the heat lamp
is shut down, and the printer stops the operation.
TPS: Limit temperature to have the thermal cut-off start melting and
shutting down the power supply to the heat lamp if the
temperature control circuit should break down.
< Temperature Control and Safety >

The detection of the fusing temperature is performed by the thermistor and
transmitted to the temperature control circuit. The temperature control circuit
makes the comparative control with the basic control temperature signal and
ON/OFF control over the triac (FLS) so that the temperature of the heat roller will
be the preset temperature (PS). The temperature control is made in terms of the
both hardware and software, and detects any error with the following detection
meanings. Upon the detection of such error, the printer stops and the error
message is displayed on the operator panel.
H0: If the wire-cut occurred in the temperature sensor thermistor

(TH) or the breakdown such as wire-cut occurred in the circuit,
the wire-cut detection signal (THERR) is outputted. This signal
works to turn off the relay (RY-1) and the triac (FLS) and
subsequently stops the printer.
H1: If the surface temperature of the heat roller continues to be

higher than the preset value of abnormal temperature (TA) for
more than the specified time, CPU forces the HON signal and
ACOFF signal to turn off according to the timer control so that
the printer stops.
H2: If the surface temperature of the heat roller does not reach to
the preset temperature (TS) in the specified time after power-
on, CPU forces the HON signal and ACOFF signal to turn off
according to the timer control so that the printer stops.

lower than the preset temperature (TS) for more than the
specified time, CPU forces the HON signal and ACOFF signal
to turn off according to the timer control so that the printer
stops.

higher than the preset temperature (TS) for more than the
specified time, CPU forces the HON signal and ACOFF signal
to turn off according to the timer control so that the printer
stops.
HA: If the temperature of the heat roller becomes abnormal due to

the break-down of the control circuit etc., the temperature
detection circuit (CM2) transmits the ACOFF signal. This
signal turns off the relay (RY-1), and simultaneously makes
the CPU stop the printer.

5. HOW TO RE-ENTER ORIGINAL DATA TO THE MCTL PWB 2
CAUTION
Actions 1) and 2) MUST be carried out BEFORE the MCTL PWB 2 is removed or
the NVRAM initialized otherwise ALL READINGS WILL BE LOST.
1) Go into the Engine Controller Mode. (Refer to Section 3 “ENGINE CONTROLLER

MODE” of Chapter V.)
2) Before initializing the NV-RAM or replacing the MCTL PWB 2, record the following
values;
i) Display TOTAL PAGE to record the value.
(i.e.) TOTAL PAGE (T) = 412P
ii) Display EACH IMAGE to record the values.
(i.e.) EACH IMAGE (IY)=348P
(IM)=353P
(IC)=365P
(IK)=439P
iii) Display NEXT CARE to record the values.
(i.e.) FC ROLL (NC2) = 12,050P
BL UNIT (NC7) = 49,135P
FU UNIT (NC8) = 39,684P
120K KIT (NC9) = 120,000P
iv) Display LIFE PERIOD SET of FACTORY MODE to record the values.
(i.e.) FC ROLL (LP2) = 12,000P
BL UNIT (LP7) = 50,000P
FU UNIT (LP8) = 60,100P
120K KIT (LP9) = 120,000P
3) When you have recorded all the values above, initialize the data in the NV-RAM
on the MCTL PWB 2 or replace the MCTL PWB 2.
After initializing all the data in the NV-RAM on the MCTL PWB 2, or replacing the MCTL
PWB 2, all the original counter values for the cleaning roller, OPC belt cartridge, fusing
unit, and 120K kit should be re-entered as below;
The method used to correct the counters is to reset the page counter to a calculated
TOTAL PAGE value and then to perform a CLEAR CARE for the item to reset the NEXT
CARE for that item to the value recorded in 2) iii).
The basic formula used in these calculations is:-
TOTAL PAGE = NEXT CARE - LIFE PERIOD
Where this formula would result in a negative number, the LIFE PERIOD should be
temporarily set to a lower value so that the result is a positive number and then this
number and LIFE PERIOD used to perform the CLEAR CARE to reset the NEXT CARE
counter.
A-9
4) Re-enter the FC ROLL (NC2) value as follows;
i) Enter the value of NC2 - LP2 into the TOTAL PAGE counter.
(i.e.) NC2 - LP2 ⇒ 12,050P - 12,000P = 50
Enter the value ‘50’ in the TOTAL PAGE counter.
ii) Perform CLEAR CARE 2. (Refer to ‘36 CLEAR CARE’ in page V-23 of Chapter
V.)
iii) Check that the value of NEXT CARE is reset to the recorded value in 2) iii).
(i.e.) NC2 = 12,050P
5) Re-enter the BL UNIT (NC7) value as follows;

i) After calculating the values so that they work in the following formula
(IY + IM + IC + IK) = NC7 - LP7,
enter each value of LP7, IY, IM, IC, IK.
(i.e.) (IY + IM + IC + IK) = NC7 - LP7
⇒ (348 + 353 + 365 + 439) = 49,135 - 50,000
Since the above result is minus, reduce the value of LP7 is 40,000P in
order to make the result plus, then enter it into the LIFE PERIOD SET
counter in FACTORY MODE.
The formula is as follows;
(IY + IM + IC + IK) = NC7 - LP7
⇒ (348 + 353 + 365 + 439) = 49,135 - 40,000
⇒ (348 + 353 + 365 + 439) = 9,135
Change the value of IK from 439 to 8,069 so that the formula works out.
(348 + 353 + 365 + 8,069) = 9,135
Then, enter each value for IY=348, IM=353, IC=365, and IK=8,069 in the
EACH IMAGE SET counter in FACTORY MODE.
V.)
iii) Check that the value of NEXT CARE is reset correctly.
(i.e.) NC7 = 49,135P
iv) Reset the LIFE PERIOD counter in FACTORY MODE to 50,000.
6) Re-enter the FU UNIT (NC8) value as follows;

(i.e.) NC8 - LP8 = 39,684 - 60,100 = - 20,416
Since the above result is minus, reduce the value of LP8 is 30,000P in
order to make the result plus, then enter it into the LIFE PERIOD SET
counter in FACTORY MODE.
The formula is as follows;
NC8 - LP8 = 39,684 - 30,000 = 9,684
Enter the value ‘9,684’ in TOTAL PAGE.
V.)
A-10
(i.e.) NC8 = 39,684P
iv) Reset the LIFE PERIOD counter in FACTORY MODE to 60,100.
7) Re-enter the 120K KIT (NC9) value as follows;

(i.e.) NC9 - LP9 = 120,000 - 120,000 = 0
Enter the value ‘0’ into the TOTAL PAGE counter.
V.)
(i.e.) NC9 = 120,000P
8) Re-enter the original TOTAL PAGE (T) value in TOTAL PAGE SET in FACTORY
MODE.
(i.e.) T = 412P
9) Re-enter the original EACH IMAGE (IY, IM, IC, IK) values in EACH IMAGE SET in
FACTORY MODE.
(i.e.) (IY)=348P, (IM)=353P, (IC)=365P, (IK)=439P
10) Ensure that the values in the LIFE PERIOD SET counters in FACTORY MODE
are correct.
(i.e.) FC ROLL (LP2)=12,000P
BL UNIT (LP7)=50,000P
FU UNIT (LP8)=60,100P
120K KIT (LP9)=120,000P

IBM CHR SET MODE
IBM E1H = Beta Places ‘Beta’ on E1h of the IBM character set.
IBM E1H = Esszet * Places the character of ‘Esszet’ on E1h of the IBM
character set.
W BOLD ON/OFF
The application software is provided for the dot printer, which reprints the
character onto the same position to make the bold font. On the other hand, the
laser printer detects the reprinted character and converts it to the bold font. After
the HL-8V model, however, the function has caused that print speed gets slow in
the FX and XL emulations. Therefore the setting is added, which selects to
implement the function or to print fast without using the function.
W BOLD = OFF * Not converts the reprinted character to the bold font in the
FX and XL emulations.
W BOLD = ON Converts the reprinted character to the bold font in the FX
and XL emulations.
(The print speed is decreased.)
DLFNT Bd / It
Brother has an original function such that the printer creates the bold font when
receiving the command of the bold font which the printer does not have. If the
download font is selected by ID, however, the bold font which has been specified
before can remain in the printer so that the download font is printed in bold.
Though the function was deleted from the printer for the mean time, it also
caused the claims. Therefore the setting which deletes the function is added.
DLFNT Bd / It = YES Creates the bold or italic font from the download font.
DLFNT Bd / It = NO * Not creates the bold or italic font from the download font.
B PROD ON/OFF
B PROD = ON* Creates the bold or italic font from the bitmap font.

CONDENCE SELECT
The condensed font is printed at 16.66cpi in the dot printer emulation for the
Brother laser printers in conjunction with that the 16.66cpi font is used.
However, some customers need the same pitch with the one of the dot printer,
and many customers still use the printer at 16.66cpi on the other hand.
Therefore the setting which selects the pitch of the condensed font is added.
CONDENCE = 16.66p *
Sets the pitch of the Epson/IBM condensed character 16.66cpi.
CONDENCE = 17.14p
Sets the pitch the Epson/IBM condensed character 17.14cpi.
A-17
OEM FONT SELECT
The special character set is necessary when the printer is supplied to the
European countries. For the HL-1260 printer, the special character set is stored
into the program ROM additionally. Since the font number is moved due to the
addition, the character set is disabled for the normal model.
OEM FONT = DISABL* Disables to select the European character.

OEM FONT = ENABLE Enables to select the European character.
BRO FONT SELECT

The Brougham bitmap font of 10 pitch and 12 pitch is built in due to the user’s
request.

300DPI PRIORITY
Though it was necessary to select and print the cartridge font of Courier for the
US customer, the 300dpi bitmap font could not be selected because the priority
of the font selection was low in rank. Since the current model is compatible with
HP LaserJet 4, the setting is added, which disables the compatibility with HP
LaserJet 4 and makes the priority of the 300dpi bitmap font high.
3B PRIO = LOW * Makes the priority of selection for the 300dpi

bitmap font standard (low) in the font setting.
Command: <ESC><CR>!1T
3B PRIO = HIGH Makes the priority of selection for the 300dpi
bitmap font high in the font setting.

8. TO INSTALL THE PRINTER CORRECTLY
Please read the installation steps described below carefully.
If the printer is not installed correctly, image failures may occur or the life expectancy of
the OPC belt cartridge may be shortened.
1) Turn ON the power switch of the printer.
2) After the printer has initialized, open the front cover 2 and then the top cover
ASSY 2 of the printer and pull up the OPC belt cartridge from the printer.
OPC belt cartridge
3) Measure the gap on the OPC belt cartridge shown in the figure below. If the gap
is in the range of 5 ± 2 mm, the printer is installed correctly.
5 ± 2 mm
A-30
4) If the gap is NOT in the range of 5 ± 2 mm, check the following items;
Note:
If the printer is inclined at 1° as shown in the figures below, the printer is
approximately 9mm out of level from one side to the other.
i) Is the printer inclined because the table the printer is installed on is unlevel?
Level
1°
ii) Is the printer inclined because the table surface the printer is installed on is not
strong enough?
Level
1°
iii) Is the printer inclined because it is installed across two or more tables?
Level
1°
A-31
iv) Is there anything under the printer, or is there something stuck to the printer
base?
5) After checking these items, initialize the printer again (opening/closing the top
cover automatically initializes the OPC belt cartridge), and measure the gap on the
OPC belt cartridge again.
If the gap is in the range of 5 ± 2 mm, the printer is installed correctly. (Refer to
the figure for Step 3).)
6) If the gap is NOT in the range of 5 ± 2 mm, follow the steps below;
i) When the gap is more than 7 mm;
(the OPC belt has moved to the
right.)
Place something 1 cm thick such as
a book under the right hand side of Book
the printer as shown in the figure on
the right.
Initialize the printer again and then

(the OPC belt has moved to the left.)
Place something 1 cm thick such as
a book under the left hand side of the
printer as shown in the figure on the
right.
Initialize the printer again and then
measure the gap on the OPC belt
cartridge. If the gap is in the range of
5 ± 2 mm, the printer is installed
Printer base
correctly.
Metal frame
Note:
• Place the book or other object 1 cm thick under the printer metal frame as shown in
the figures above. Even if the Lower Tray unit is installed onto the printer, the book
should be positioned in the same position.
• If you have a spirit level, put it on the output tray and install the printer as level as
possible referring to the level.
• The surface that the printer is placed on should have its level corrected properly.
• The temporary action with a 1 cm thick object should only be used to determine the
correct leveling action required and should not be used as a permanent solution.
