How to Use the Brother Machine with Your DOS
Application Software
Before working with your application software that runs on DOS, check that the
Brother 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 IIP’s emulations.
The following table shows combinations of printer drivers and emulation
modes. To get the most out of this machine, you should install an HP printer
driver in your application software.
■ The best or recommended printer driver is indicated in bold.
■ Be sure to choose the proper printer driver in your application software.
■ Be sure the print resolution is set to 300 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 and comprises the following two programs.
Remote Printer Console Main Program
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 in
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.
Printer Status Monitor Program
This utility program can monitor your printer’s status using bi-directional
parallel communications. This utility program stays resident in your computer
memory (Terminate-and-Stay Resident program) and runs in the background.
