How to Use the Brother DCP with Your DOS
Application Software
Before working with your application software that runs on DOS, check that the
Brother DCPs name appears in the printer selection of your application
software. If the DCP is not listed, you must install the printer driver that
corresponds to HP LaserJet IIPs emulations.
The following table shows combinations of printer drivers and emulation mode.
To get the most out of this DCP, 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 printing 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 program:
Remote Printer Console Main Program
This program allows you to change various printer settings such as emulation,
print quality, fonts and page setup from your computer screen. Since most DOS
applications have a Printer Settings menu that overrides the settings made by the
RPC, you may not have to use this utility program. This utility program is useful
for application software that does not control the printers settings and features.
