MFC 4550/6550MC/7550MC OP-US-5.0 USING THE MFC AS A PRINTER FOR YOUR INFORMATION Windows® Printing The dedicated printer driver and True Type™-compatible fonts for Microsoft® Windows® 95 and 3.1 are available on the floppy disk supplied with your MFC. 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. Remote Printer Console Program for DOS (Only for MFC 6550MC/7550MC) The utility program, Remote Printer Console (RPC), is available on a floppy disk (Disk#6) 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 Emulation Support (Only for MFC 6550MC/7550MC) 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. Bidirectional Parallel Interface The parallel interface of this MFC allows bidirectional communication with a computer. This interface allows the printer 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 bidirectional mode, they can both report the printer status. Enhanced Memory Management The MFC has its own Data Compression Technology, which automatically compress graphic data and download 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 larger fonts, with the printer's standard memory. 10-6
