The RPC program also provides a status monitor program, a Terminate-
and-Stay 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 bi-directional interface lets the machine communicate with the
computer, sending information about memory and printer setup
conditions. The Remote Printer Console and Windows
®
95, 98 or
Windows NT
®
Workstation 4.0 drivers support the bi-directional mode
and can report the printer status to the computer.
Enhanced Memory Management
The machine has its own Data Compression Technology, which
automatically compresses graphic data and downloads font data
efficiently into the printer’s (machine’s) memory. You can avoid memory
errors and print most full-page, 600dpi graphic and text data, including
larger fonts, with the machine’s standard memory.
Printing From Your PC
Paper Cassette
The machine’s paper cassette can feed plain paper and tranceparencies.
When the machine receives data from your computer, it begins the print
process by loading paper from the paper cassette.
■ Select the print command from your PC.
Your PC sends a print command and data to the machine. The screen
displays the date and time, and RECEIVING DATA. If there are more
pages, the machine begins to print the next page automatically. When the
machine finishes printing all data, it returns to online status.
You may select the proper paper source, paper size, and orientation in
your application software.
If your application software does not support your custom paper size,
select the next larger paper size. Then adjust the print area by changing
the right and left margins in your application software.
When you use labels, envelopes, organizer paper, card stock or thicker
paper, be sure to use the manual feed slot.
