What Does the Remote Printer Console Do?
The Remote Printer Console (RPC) is a utility program that can run in
the DOS environment and comprises the following two programs:
Remote Printer Console Main Program
This program allows you to change various printer settings such as
emulation, print quality, fonts, page setup etc., from your computer
screen. Since most DOS applications have a Printer Settings menu that
overrides the settings made by the RPC, you may not have to use this
utility program. This utility program is useful for application software
that does not control the printer's settings and features.
Printer Status Monitor Program
This utility program can monitor your printer's status using bi-directional
parallel communications. This utility program stays resident in your
computer memory (Terminate-and-Stay Resident program) and runs in
the background.
