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 three popular printer emulation modes, HP LaserJet 5P, 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. This printer has an optional BR-Script 2 ROM board which adds a PostScript Level 2 language emulation to your printer. The printer also supports auto- emulation switching between HP, optional BR-Script 2 and Epson or HP, optional BR-Script 2 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.

❏Enhanced Memory Management

The printer provides its own data compression technology in the printer hardware and the supplied printer driver software, which can automatically compress graphic data and font data efficiently into the printer’s memory. You can avoid memory errors and print most full page 600 dpi graphic and text data, including larger fonts, with the printer’s standard memory.
