Cases Where Programs Do Not Need Developing (Modifying)
Overview
Brother products features print commands compatible with products of other manufacturers.
Depending on the case, this feature enables replacing a printer of another manufacturer without developing any program.
Commands Compatible with Printers of Other Manufacturers
