Optional Brother Network Interface

Brother's optional Ethernet interfaces allow you to connect your printer to the most popular Network operating systems
such as Novell Netware, TCP/IP, Unix "lpd", Windows 3.11/95, Windows NT, Lan Manager and Apple Ethertalk.
Alternatively, for non-Ethernet user's, Brother also offers an optional internal print solution for Token Ring environments.

High Quality Output

1200 dpi class printing combined with microfine toner produces exceptional quality print output. Also, 1200 dpi quality
printing can be achieved using Brother's own High Resolution Control (HRC) and Advanced Photoscale Technology
(APT). The 87 total fonts enable an even wider scope of quality output.

Faster Printing Solutions

A true printer engine, utilizing a RISC-based high speed controller (20 MHz) and parallel page processing, gives an
impressively fast output. High speed Windows printing is now a reality, as a result of the advanced Windows driver (with
superfast data transfer) in combination with the built in scalable fonts and True Type font rasterizer.

Enhanced Memory Management

With 4Mb of on board RAM (standard memory) expandable to 66Mb via Industry Standard SIMM, the HL 1660 is
powerful enough to handle most any print job sent to it. For exceptional memory management, there is Brother's own
data compression and both a variable input buffer and intelligent auto page protection, which minimizes RAM
consumption. Further, the optional flash memory and HDD cards can be used to save macros, fonts and print data. - All
of which save time and money and increase flexibility and productivity.

Excellent Paper Handling

The high capacity paper cassette (A6 to Legal sizes) which holds 500 sheets, and the 150 sheet multi-purpose tray (for a
second paper type or manual feeding) provide excellent handling. The media setting control allows you to obtain the
optimum print quality on differing paper types and transparencies, every time. The optional 500 sheet paper tray
(LT-1600), which brings the total paper capacity to 1,150 sheets, and the duplex printing unit (DX-1600) save both
time and money, as well as benefiting the environment.

Industry Standard Supplies / Accessories

The HL-1660 uses the industry standard EP-ED microfine toner cartridge for exceptional quality output. Memory
upgrades are accomplished by using standard SIMM chips, widely available, low cost and easy to install.

Multiple Printer Languages

Almost every application is automatically catered for by the printer, not only with the two most popular emulations -
PCL 5e and BR-Script level 2 (Postscript level 2 language emulation), but also with IBM and Epson
emulations and with HP-GL emulation for CAD applications. Even bar codes can be printed. Auto emulation mode
enables the printer to automatically switch emulation depending on the data type it receives. When you opt to Keep
PCL, the printer saves your PCL settings, allowing you to use other emulations and still be able to return to the saved
settings.

Environmental and Economical Considerations

Economy mode cuts toner consumption by 50% and sleep mode cuts power consumption to <16 watts. The optional
duplex printing (DX-1600) and FF Suppression (in a network environment) saves paper, whilst quick reprint (by FF
switch) eliminates wasteful incorrect copies. Furthermore, the toner cartridge is ozone free and the "2 in 1" & "4 in 1"
Windows printing modes cut paper consumption even further.
