What are the steps to set up the HL-3450CN printer for the first time?
Setup involves five steps: installing the oil bottle and fuser cleaner, installing the OPC belt cartridge, installing the toner cartridges, loading paper in the paper tray, and printing a test page. Make sure the printer power button is off and do NOT connect the interface cable before beginning setup. After the printer has warmed up, the READY message will appear on the display. (Page 1)
What is the default password for the HL-3450CN print server?
The default password for the print server is 'access'. You can use the BRAdmin Professional software or a web browser to change this password. (Page 2)
How do I install the oil bottle and fuser cleaner in the HL-3450CN?
Open the top cover, release the oil bottle lock levers and fuser cleaner lock levers, and move the fusing unit pressure release levers to the SET position. Install the oil bottle in the fusing unit with the label side facing you, lock both oil bottle lock levers, then insert the fuser cleaner into the fusing unit with the roller side facing you. Lock both fuser cleaner lock levers to complete the installation. (Page 1)
What interface cables are compatible with the HL-3450CN printer?
The interface cable is not a standard accessory and must be purchased separately for the interface you intend to use, which can be Parallel, USB, or Network. Most existing parallel cables support bi-directional communication, but some might have an incompatible pin assignment or may not be IEEE 1284 compliant. (Page 1)
How do I reset the HL-3450CN print server to factory default settings?
Use a fine ball point pen to hold down the Network Test Button for more than 5 seconds to reset the print server back to its default factory settings. This will reset all information such as the password and IP address information. (Page 2)
