How to Use the MFC with Your DOS
Application Software
Before working with your application software that runs on DOS, check
that the machine’s name appears in the printer selection of your
application software. If the machine is not listed, you must install the
printer driver that corresponds to HP LaserJet IIP’s emulations.
The following table shows combinations of printer drivers and emulation
mode. To get the most out of this machine, you should install an HP
printer driver in your application software.

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 two programs:
Remote Printer Console Main Program
This program allows you to change various printer settings such as
emulation, print quality, fonts, page setup etc., 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 printer’s settings and features.
