FOR DOS USERS
Using the Printer Status Monitor Program
Type C:\RPCX>STMX and press the Enter key to make the Printer
Status Monitor Program stay resident in your computer memory. If there
are any changes to the printer status, it displays a message on your
computer screen.
If the Printer Status Monitor program stays resident in your computer, you
can monitor the printer status on your computer screen immediately by
using the hot-key (Ctrl+Alt+R).
To remove the Printer Status Monitor program from your computer
memory, type C:\RPCX>STMX/R and press the Enter key.
The RPC works in the environment where your Brother machine is
directly connected to your computer. If you are using printer buffer
switches that do not support bi-directional communication between the
Brother machine and computer, the program works only in the PC to
machine direction and cannot receive Brother machine status information.
The program does NOT work with Brother machines on a network.
If the RPC conflicts with some application software, exit your application
software and then run the RPC.
The RPC may work in the DOS-compatible box screen mode of
Windows
®
. However, it is recommended that you completely exit from
Windows
®
to the DOS prompt before using the RPC.
The Printer Status Monitor and some other Terminate-and-Stay programs
cannot coexist in the computer’s memory. If they don’t work properly
together, use them one at a time. You can suspend the Printer Status
monitor with any of the following methods or commands.
Type C:\RPCX>STMX/R and press the Enter key. Hold the space bar
down while executing the AUTOEXEC.BAT file at DOS startup to
prevent the status monitor from being loaded as a TSR program.
