CHAPTER I FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS  
1.  
FEATURES  
This printer has the following features:  
High Resolution and Fast Printing Speed  
<HL-820>  
True 600 dots per inch (dpi) with microfine toner and 8 pages per minute (ppm) printing  
speed (A4 or Letter paper).  
<HL-1040/1020>  
True 600 dots per inch (dpi) with microfine toner and 10 pages per minute (ppm) printing  
speed (A4 or Letter paper).  
<HL-1050>  
True 600 dots per inch (dpi) and 1200 x 600 dpi for graphics with microfine toner and 10  
pages per minute (ppm) printing speed (A4 or Letter paper).  
Enhanced Printing Performance and User-Friendly Operation for Windows  
The dedicated printer driver and TrueTypeTM-compatible fonts for Microsoft® Windows 3.1  
and Windows 95 are available on the floppy disk and CD-ROM supplied with your printer.  
You can easily install them into your Windows system using our installer program. The  
driver supports our unique compression mode to enhance printing speed in Windows  
applications and allows you to set various printer settings including toner saving mode,  
custom paper size, sleep mode, gray scale adjustment, resolution, and so forth. You can  
easily setup these print options in the graphic dialog boxes through the Printer Setup  
menu within the Windows Control Panel.  
Printer Status Monitor with Bi-directional Parallel Interface  
The printer driver can monitor your printer’s status using bi-directional parallel  
communications.  
The printer status monitor program can show the current status of your printer. When  
printing, an animated dialog box appears on your computer screen to show the current  
printing process. If an error occurs, a dialog box will appear to let you know what to  
correct. For example: when your printer is out of paper, the dialog box will display “No  
Paper” and instructions for the corrective action to take.  
Versatile Paper Handling  
The printer has a multi-purpose sheet feeder and a straight paper path mechanism.  
Using this mechanism, you can load A4, letter, legal, B5, A5, A6, and executive sizes of  
paper, and various types of media including envelopes, organizer paper, or your custom  
paper size. The multi-purpose sheet feeder also allows manual paper loading, so you  
can also use labels and transparencies.  
Environment-Friendly  
Economy Printing Mode  
This feature will cut your printing cost by saving toner. It is useful to obtain draft copies  
for proof-reading. You can select from two economy modes, 25% toner saving and 50%  
toner saving, through the Windows printer driver supplied with your printer.  
Sleep Mode (Power Save Mode)  
Sleep mode automatically reduces power consumption when the printer is not in use.  
The printer consumes less than 13W when in sleep mode.  
I-1  
 
Low Running Cost  
The toner cartridge is separate from the drum unit. You need to replace only the toner  
cartridge after around 2,400 pages, which is cost effective and ecologically friendly.  
The actual number of pages printed with each toner cartridge may vary depending on  
your average type of print job.  
Enhanced Memory Management  
The printer provides its own data compression technology in its printer hardware and the  
supplied printer driver software, which can automatically compress graphic data and font  
data efficiently into the printer's memory. You can avoid memory errors and print most  
full page 600dpi graphic and text data, including large fonts, with the standard printer  
memory.  
Remote Printer Console Program for DOS (for HL-1040/1050 only)  
The utility program, Remote Printer Console (RPC), is available on the floppy disk and  
CD-ROM supplied with your printer. When you operate your computer in the DOS (Disk  
Operating System) environment, this program allows you to easily change the default  
settings of the printer such as fonts, page setup, emulations and so on.  
This program also provides a status monitor program, which is a Terminate-and-Stay  
Resident (TSR) program. It can monitor the printer status while running in the  
background and report the current status or errors on your computer screen.  
Popular Printer Emulation Support (for HL-1040/1050 only)  
These printers support the following printer emulation modes;  
The HL-1040 supports HP LaserJet IIP, Epson FX-850, and IBM Proprinter XL  
The HL-1050 supports HP LaserJet 6P/6L, Epson FX-850 and IBM Proprinter XL.  
When you use DOS application software or Windows™ version 3.0 or earlier, you can  
use any of these emulations to operate the printer in the 300 dpi resolution mode. The  
printers also support Auto-emulation switching between HP and Epson or HP and IBM. If  
you want to set the printer emulation, you can do it using the Remote Printer Console  
Program.  
USB Interface (for HL-1050 only)  
The Universal Serial Bus Interface is an interface which allows the printer to connect to  
multiple peripheral devices.  
High Resolution Control & Advanced Photoscale Technology (for HL-1050 only)  
High resolution control (HRC) technology provides clear and crisp printouts. Use this  
function to get smooth text print quality.  
Advanced Photoscale Technology enables the printer to print graphics in 256 grayscales,  
producing nearly photographic quality. Use this function when you want to print  
photographic images.  
Optional Apple Macintosh® Interface (for HL-1040/1050 only)  
An optional Apple Macintosh serial interface is available which allows your printer to be  
connected to Apple Macintosh computers. With this option, you can use your printer with  
both an IBM PC (or compatible) and an Apple Macintosh at the same time. This optional  
interface board can be used as an RS-422A interface for Macintosh or an RS-232C serial  
interface for an IBM PC or compatible.

envelope, you may get stains on the paper outside 8.5 inches width or on the back of  
the paper.  
It is recommended to use long-grained paper for the best print quality. If short-grained  
paper is being used, it might be the cause of paper jams.  
Use neutral paper. Do not use acid paper to avoid any damage to the printer drum  
unit.

SAFETY INFORMATION  
3.1  
Laser Safety (110 - 120V Model only)  
This printer is certified as a Class 1 laser product under the US Department of Health and  
Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation  
Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that the printer does not produce  
hazardous laser radiation.  
Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completely confined within the protective  
housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during  
any phase of user operation.  
3.2  
FDA Regulations (110 - 120V Model only)  
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has implemented regulations for laser  
products manufactured on and after August 2, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for  
products marketed in the United States. One of the following labels on the back of the  
printer indicates compliance with the FDA regulations and must be attached to laser  
products marketed in the United States.
