CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

Features

This printer has the following features:

❏300 dpi Resolution and 6ppm Printing Speed

300 dots per inch (dpi) with microfine toner and six pages per minute (ppm) printing speed (A4 or Letter paper).

❏Versatile Paper Handling

The printer has a multi-purpose sheet feeder and straight paper path mechanism. Using this mechanism, you can load A4, letter, legal, B5, A5 and executive sizes of paper, and various types of paper including envelopes, postcards, organizer paper, and your custom paper size. The multi-purpose sheet feeder also allows manual paper loading, so you can also use labels and transparencies.

❏Windows® Printing

The dedicated printer driver and TrueType™-compatible fonts for Microsoft® Windows 3.1 are available on the floppy disk supplied

with your printer. You can easily install them into your Windows system using our installer program. The driver supports our unique compression mode to enhance printing speed in Windows applications, and allows you to set various printer settings including economy printing mode, custom paper size and sleep mode settings.

❏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 three printer emulation modes, HP LaserJet IIP, 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 and Epson or HP and IBM. If you want to set the printer emulation, you can do it using the Remote Printer Console Program.
