Rem ote Printer Console Program for D O S
The utility program, Remote Printer Console (RPC), is available on the CD-
ROM supplied with your MFC. 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.
The RPC 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 will report the current status
or errors on your computer screen.
Popular Printer Em ulation Support
This MFC supports the printer emulation mode, HP LaserJet IIP. When
you use DOS application software or Windows® version 3.0 or earlier, you
can use the emulation mode of
HP LaserJet IIP to operate the printer. To
set the printer emulation, use the Remote Printer Console Program.
Bi-D irectional Parallel Interface
The parallel interface of this MFC allows bi-directional communication
with a computer. This interface allows the printer (MFC) to communicate
back to the computer useful information such as the amount of memory
installed, and other printer setup conditions. As the supplied Remote
Printer Console, Windows® 95 or 3.1 driver both support the bi-directional
mode, they can both report the printer status.

compress graphic data and download font data efficiently into the printer’s
(MFC’s) memory. You can avoid memory errors and print most full page
600 dpi graphic and text data, including larger fonts, with the printer’s
standard memory.
