Special Printing Features

Windows® Printing

The dedicated printer driver and TrueType™ compatible fonts for Microsoft® Windows® 95/98/98SE/Me and NT®4.0/2000 Professional are available on the CD-ROM supplied with your DCP. You can install them easily 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 and custom paper size.

Popular Printer Emulation Support

The DCP supports HP LaserJet IIP printer emulation mode. If you use DOS application software, you can use HP LaserJet IIP emulation mode for printer operations. (Use the Remote Printer Console program to set the printer emulation.)

Remote Printer Console Program for DOS

The MFL Pro Suite CD-ROM supplied with your DCP includes the utility program Remote Printer Console (RPC). When you operate your computer in the Disk Operating System (DOS) environment, RPC lets you easily change the Brother DCP’s default settings (such as fonts, page setup, emulations, etc.).

RPC also provides a status monitor Terminate-and-Stay Resident (TSR) program. It runs in the background and monitors the printer status as it reports the current status or errors on your PC screen.

Bi-directional Parallel Interface

The Brother DCP’s parallel interface enables it to send memory and printer setup information to the computer.
