Note
The components included in the box may differ depending on your country.
We recommend that you save the original packaging.
If for any reason you must ship your machine, carefully repack the machine in the original

Illustrations in this Quick Setup Guide are based on the HL-5450DN.
To ensure safe operation the supplied plug must be inserted only into a standard power outlet
that is properly grounded through the standard electrical wiring. Non grounded equipment may
cause an electrical shock hazard, and may cause excessive electrical noise radiation.
The interface cable is not a standard accessory. Buy the appropriate interface cable for the
connection you want to use (parallel (HL-5440D and HL-5445D only) or Network (HL-5450DN
only)).
USB cable
It is recommended to use a USB 2.0 (Type A/B) interface cable that is no longer than 2 meters.
Parallel cable (HL-5440D and HL-5445D only)
DO NOT use a parallel interface cable that is longer than 2 meters. Use a shielded interface cable
that is IEEE 1284-compliant.
Network cable (HL-5450DN only)
Use a straight-through Category 5 (or greater) twisted-pair cable for 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX
Fast Ethernet Network.
