USER'S GUIDE
Remote Printer Console Program for DOS
The utility program, Remote Printer Console (RPC), is available on a
floppy disk supplied with your printer. When you operate your
computer in the DOS (Disk Operating System) environment, this
program allows you to easily change the default settings of the printer
such as fonts, page setup, emulations and so on.
This program also provides a status monitor program, which is a
Terminate-and-Stay Resident (TSR) program. It can monitor the
printer status while running in the background and report the current
status or errors on your computer screen.
Popular Printer Emulation Support
This printer supports four popular printer emulation modes, HP
LaserJet 6P, Brother BR-Script Level 2, Epson FX-850 and IBM
Proprinter XL. When you use DOS application software or Windows
version 3.0 or earlier, you can use any of these emulations to operate
the printer. The printer also supports auto-emulation switching
between HP, BR-Script 2 and Epson or HP, Brother BR-Script 2 and
IBM. If you want to select the printer emulation, you can do it using
the Remote Printer Console Program.
Two Interfaces
This printer has a high speed bi-directional parallel interface, and a
Universal Serial Bus (USB).
If your application software supports the bi-directional parallel
interface, you can monitor the printer status. It is fully compatible
with the industry-standard bi-directional parallel interface.
The Universal Serial Bus is an interface which allows the printer to be
connected to multiple peripheral devices.
The printer status monitor program can show the current status of
your printer. When printing, the animated dialog box appears on your
computer screen to show the current printing process. If an error
occurs, a dialog box will appear to let you know what to correct. For
example: when your printer is out of paper, the dialog box will display
"Paper Empty" and instructions for the proper corrective action.
High Resolution Control & Advanced Photoscale Technology
High resolution control (HRC) technology provides clear and crisp
printouts. Use this function to get smooth text print quality. Advanced
Photoscale Technology enables the printer to print graphics in 256
grayscale levels, producing nearly photographic quality. Use this
function when you want to print photographic images.
