172 C H A P T E R S I X T E E N The RPC program also provides a status monitor program, a Terminate-andStay Resident (TSR) program. It monitors the printer status while running in the background, and reports the current status or errors on your computer screen. Bi-directional Parallel Interface The parallel interface of the MFC lets the printer (MFC) communicate back with the computer, sending information about memory and printer setup conditions. Enhanced Memory Management The MFC has its own Data Compression Technology, which automatically compresses graphic data and downloads font data efficiently into the printer's (MFC's) memory. You can avoid memory errors and print most full-page, 600dpi graphic and text data, including larger fonts, with the MFC's standard memory. Printing From Your PC Multi-purpose Sheet Feeder The MFC's multi-purpose sheet feeder can feed plain paper, envelopes, and organizer paper. When the MFC receives data from your computer, it begins the print process by loading paper from the multi-purpose sheet feeder. • Select the print command from your PC. Your PC sends a print command and data to the MFC. The screen displays the date and time, and RECEIVING DATA. If there are more pages, the MFC begins to print the next page automatically. When the MFC finishes printing all data, it returns to online status. You may select the proper paper source, paper size, and orientation in your application software.
