Remote Printer Console Program for DOS, Popular Printer Emulation Support

Page 100 highlights

Sleep Mode (Power Save Mode) Sleep mode automatically reduces power consumption when the printer is not in use. The printer consumes less than 9W when in sleep mode. Low Running Cost The toner cartridge is separate from the drum unit. You need to replace only the toner cartridge after around 2,000 pages, which is cost effective and ecologically friendly. (In some countries the printer is supplied with a starter toner cartridge which must be replaced after 1,000 pages.) Remote Printer Console Program for DOS The utility program, Remote Printer Console (RPC), is available on the 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 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 three printer emulation modes, HP LaserJet 5P, Epson FX-850, and IBM Proprinter XL. The printer also supports Auto-emulation switching between HP and Epson or HP and IBM. If you want to set the printer emulation, you can do it by using the Remote Printer Console Program. Optional Apple Macintosh Interface An optional Apple Macintosh serial interface kit is available which allows your printer to be connected to Apple Macintosh computers. With this option, you can use your printer with both an IBM PC, or compatible, and an Apple Macintosh at the same time. This optional interface board can be used as an RS-422A interface for Macintosh or an RS-232C serial interface for IBM PC or compatible. Enhanced Memory Management The printer provides its own data compression technology in the printer hardware and the supplied printer driver software, which can automatically compress graphic data and font data efficiently into the printer's memory. You can avoid memory errors and print most full page 600 dpi graphic and text data, including large fonts, with the printer's standard memory. I-2
