❏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 four popular printer emulation modes, HP LaserJet 6P, Brother BR-Script Level 2, 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. The printer also supports auto-emulation switching between HP, BR-Script 2 and Epson or HP, Brother BR-Script 2 and IBM. If you want to select the printer emulation, you can do it using the Remote Printer Console Program.

❏Two Interfaces

This printer has a high speed bi-directional parallel interface, and a Universal Serial Bus (USB).

If your application software supports the bi-directional parallel interface, you can monitor the printer status. It is fully compatible with the industry-standard bi-directional parallel interface.

The Universal Serial Bus is an interface which allows the printer to be connected to multiple peripheral devices.

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.

❏High Resolution Control & Advanced Photoscale Technology High resolution control (HRC) technology provides clear and crisp printouts. Use this function to get smooth text print quality. Advanced Photoscale Technology enables the printer to print graphics in 256 grayscale levels, producing nearly photographic quality. Use this function when you want to print photographic images.
