Miscellaneous
Printer supports PJL.
Printer supports direct text printing with the 'us-ascii' charset.
Comments
19 pages per minute, PCL 5e, PCL 6, and PostScript Level 3, 16 MB
(144 MB max.), one tray for 250 sheets (max A4/Legal, a second
tray can be added), built-in duplex unit, parallel, USB
2.0.
Best results are probably obtained when the printer is used in
PostScript mode with a PPD file from the printer's driver
CD.
You can also get an RPM
with the PPD file from Brother.
For the PCL mode see the page of the Brother
HL-5040.
Brother provides a PCL
driver, too, but binary-only and only for
LPD/LPRng. According to the printout quality it is based on the
"ljet4" Ghostscript driver. "pxlmono", "gimp-print" (600 dpi), and
"hpijs-pcl5e" (600 dpi) give a better grayscale quality and all special
features of the printer are accessible by PJL commands.
Consumables/Refills: Separate Toner and Drum
