USER’S GUIDE

❏Remote Printer Console Program for DOS (For HL-730 series Only)

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 (For HL-730 series Only) This printer supports three popular 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 in the 300 dpi resolution mode. The printer also supports auto-emulation switching between HP and Epson or HP and IBM. If you want to select the printer emulation, you can do it using the Remote Printer Console Program.

❏Printer Status Monitor with Bi-directional Parallel Interface The printer driver can monitor your printer’s status using bi- directional parallel communications. A high quality bi-directional parallel printer cable is recommended.

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.

❏Optional Apple Macintosh® Interface (For HL-730 series Only) An optional Apple Macintosh serial interface is available, which allows your printer to be connected to Apple Macintosh computers. With this option, you can use your printer with both an IBM PC, or compatible, and an Apple Macintosh at the same time. This optional interface board can be used as an RS-422A interface for Macintosh or an RS-232C serial interface for an IBM PC or compatible.
