Automatic emulation selection
This printer has an automatic emulation selection feature that is turned on by default. This lets it automatically change the emulation mode to suit the type of data it receives. You can change the setting using Remote Printer Console or a Web browser. The printer can choose from the following combinations:
Setting 1 (default) HP LaserJet BR-Script 3 EPSON FX-850 Setting 2 HP LaserJet BR-Script 3 IBM ProPrinter XL
Automatic interface selection
This printer has an automatic interface selection feature that is turned on by default. This lets it automatically change the interface to IEEE 1284 parallel, USB, or Ethernet depending on which interface is receiving data. When you use the parallel interface, you can turn the high-speed and bi-directional parallel communications on or off by using Remote Printer Console. (See Remote Printer Console on this page.) Since the default setting is on for the automatic interface selection mode, simply connect the interface cable to the printer. Always turn off both your computer and printer when connecting or disconnecting the cable. Note This function takes a few seconds to work. If you want to speed up printing, choose the required interface manually by using Remote Printer Console. (See Remote Printer Console on this page.) If you typically use only one interface, we recommend that you choose that interface using Remote Printer Console. (See Remote Printer Console on this page.). If only one interface is chosen, the printer will allocate the entire input buffer to that interface.

Remote Printer Console

Remote Printer Console is software to change many of the printer settings independently of your application. For example, you can change the settings for printer margin, sleep mode, character set and so on. These settings are then remembered and used by the printer.

HP LaserJet 1320 vs. Brother HL-5240
Spend less time waiting for output with HP.

HP LaserJet 1320

Brother
Significant differences between these printers could impact

user productivity:

Less wait time The HP LaserJet 1320 boasts a significantly faster first5240
time to first page out from powersave in seconds1
page-out time from powersave mode only 8.5 seconds vs. 25 seconds for the Brother HL-52401. This means you can print 7 pages on the HP LaserJet 1320 before you print one page on the Brother HL-5240. Also, the Brother HL-5240 slows to speed in 1200 dpi mode, while the HP LaserJet 1320 does not.
Consider paper cost savings with HP.
Simplified Toner replacement Toner cartridges for the HP LaserJet 1320 are one piece and easy to replace. The Brother HL-5240 has a more complex, 2-piece toner system that can be confusing.

Paper costs to print 70,000 pages @ $0.01 per page2
Automatic two-sided printing The HP LaserJet 1320 includes automatic two-sided printing capabilities, which can significantly reduce paper costs and reduce interventions to load paper. The Brother HL-5240 does not support automatic two-sided printing. Permanent output - In HP testing, output from the Brother HL-5240 exhibited toner adhesion problems1. Especially on high coverage files, toner was not completely fused and could rub off when handling the document or folding printed pages. This was not an issue on HP output.
