Special Printing Features

Windows® Printing

The dedicated printer driver and TrueType™ - compatible fonts for Microsoft® Windows® 95, 98 and Windows NT® Workstation Version 4.0 are available on the CD-ROM supplied with your machine. You can easily install them 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.

Alternate Printer Emulation Support

This printer supports HP LaserJet IIP printer emulation mode. When you use DOS application software, you can use the emulation mode of HP LaserJet IIP to operate the printer. Use the Remote Printer Console program to set the printer emulation.

Remote Printer Console Program for DOS

The CD-ROM supplied with your machine provides you with Remote Printer Console (RPC), a utility program. When you operate your computer in the Disk Operating System (DOS) environment, this program lets you easily change the printer’s default settings (such as fonts, page setup, emulations, etc.).

The RPC program also provides a status monitor program, a Terminate- and-Stay Resident (TSR) program. It monitors the printer status while running in the background, and reports the current status or errors on your computer screen.
