Special Printing Features

If you purchased the optional Multi-Function Link® Pro accessory (PCI-3CD) for your FAX 4750 or FAX 5750, follow the instructions in this chapter.

Windows® Printing

The dedicated printer driver and TrueType™ compatible fonts for Microsoft® Windows® 3.1x, 95/98 and Windows NT® Workstation Version

4.0are available on the CD-ROM supplied with your machine. 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 machine supports HP LaserJet IIP printer emulation mode. If you use DOS application software, or Windows® 3.0 or earlier, 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 CD-ROM supplied with your machine 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 machine’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 machine’s parallel interface enables it to send memory and printer setup information to the computer.

Enhanced Memory Management

The Brother machine has its own Data Compression Technology, which automatically compresses graphic data and downloads font data efficiently into the machine’s memory. With the machine’s standard memory, you can avoid memory errors and print most full-page, 600 dpi graphic and text data, including larger fonts.
