microLaser Series - Using the Second Tray or Envelope Feeder
04-23-97

·Legacy· Technical support has been discontinued for all listed models.

MODELS: microWriter, microLaser, microLaser Plus, microLaser Turbo, microLaser XL

SUMMARY: The optional second tray or envelope feeder is installed, but is not supported by the HP LaserJet Series II driver.

SOLUTION: Use the Brother HL-8D driver.

• Under Windows 3.1, ensure that version 1.10 of the HL-8D driver is used.
• Under Windows 9x and NT, use the HL-8D driver that ships with Windows.
• Do not use the HP LaserJet IID driver.

DETAILS: The LaserJet II emulation does not support the graphics rotation command. The LaserJet IID driver does support the graphics rotation command. When a landscape job is sent using the LaserJet IID driver, the rotation command is used. The microLaser does not support this, so graphics are not printed correctly. When using the LaserJet II driver, Windows renders the graphic and sends it to the printer already rotated, but the LaserJet II does not support the second tray or envelope feeder. The Brother HL-8D uses the LaserJet II emulation, but supports the envelope feeder and the lower tray. Version 1.0 of the HL-8D driver has the same limitation as the LaserJet IID- version 1.10 has resolved this issue.
