Before working with your application software that runs on DOS, check that the machine’s name appears in the printer selection of your application software. If the machine is not listed, you must install the printer driver that corresponds to HP LaserJet 5P’s emulations.
The following table shows the combination of printer driver and emulation mode. To get the most out of this machine, you should install an HP printer driver in your application software.
Printer driver supported in your application | Emulation mode to be selected with the remote |

•Be sure to choose the proper printer driver in your application software.
•Be sure the printing resolution is set to 600 dpi in your DOS application software.
What Does the Remote Printer Console Do?The Remote Printer Console (RPC) is a utility program that can run in the DOS environment:
This program allows you to change various printer settings such as emulation, print quality, fonts, page setup etc., from your computer screen. Since most DOS applications have a Printer Settings menu that overrides the settings made by the RPC, you may not have to use this utility program. This utility program is useful for application software that does not control the printer’s settings and features.
