Popular Printer Emulation Support
The machine supports HP LaserJet IIP printer emulation mode. If you use DOS
application software, or Windows
®
3.0 or earlier, you can use HP LaserJet IIP
emulation mode for printer operations. (Use the Remote Printer Console
program to set the printer emulation.)
Remote Printer Console Program for DOS
The MFL Pro CD-ROM supplied with your machine includes the utility
program Remote Printer Console (RPC). When you operate your computer in
the Disk Operating System (DOS) environment, RPC lets you easily change the
Brother machine’s default settings (such as fonts, page setup, emulations, etc.).
RPC also provides a status monitor Terminate-and-Stay Resident (TSR)
program. It runs in the background and monitors the printer status as it reports
the current status or errors on your PC screen.
Bi-directional Parallel Interface
The Brother machine’s parallel interface enables it to send memory and printer
setup information to the computer.
Enhanced Memory Management
The Brother machine has its own Data Compression Technology, which
automatically compresses graphic data and downloads font data efficiently into
the machine’s memory. With the machine’s standard memory, you can avoid
memory errors and print most full-page 600 dpi graphic and text data, including
larger fonts.
