FEATURES

This printer has the following features:
2400 x 600 dpi Class Resolution
The printer prints pages with a resolution of 600 dots per inch (dpi) as default. It also
provides higher quality printout which is the equivalent of 2400 x 600 dpi resolution when
using High Resolution Control (HRC) or Color Advanced Photoscale Technology (CAPT).
High Speed Color Laser Printing
The printer allows crisp printing in 24 bit brilliant color. The printer prints at a speed of 24
pages per minute in monochrome mode and 6 pages per minute in full color mode when
printing A4 or Letter size paper in Landscape orientation. The controller utilizes a high speed
32-bit RISC microprocessor and special hardware chips, which provides a very fast
processing speed.
High Resolution Control (HRC)
The high resolution control (HRC) technology provides clear and crisp printouts and improves
even the 600 dpi resolution. This mode is effective when printing text data.
Color Advanced Photoscale Technology (CAPT)
The printer can print graphics in 256 shades for each color in HP
BR-Script 3 emulations, producing nearly photographic quality. This mode is effective when
printing photographic images.
Maintenance-Free & Economical Toner Cartridge
A toner cartridge can print up to 14,000 (Black) and 8,500 (Cyan, Magenta and Yellow)
single-sided pages at 5% coverage. The one piece, easy-to-replace toner cartridges do not
require difficult maintenance.
Universal Media Cassette
This printer loads paper automatically from the media cassette. Since the media cassette is
a universal type, a number of different sizes of paper can be used. Even envelopes can be
loaded from the media cassette.
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.
The Brother network board (NC-4100h) is factory installed in the HL-3450CN, which enables
you to use this printer in the TCP/IP, IPS/SPX, Apple Talk, DLC/LLC, Banyan VINES, DEC
LAT and NetBEUI environments. Also, many useful utilities, such as BRAdmin Professional
for the administrator and Brother network printing software, are included in the CD-ROM
supplied with the HL-3450CN printer. For setup, see the Network User's Guide.
