applications, and allows you to set various
printer settings, including economy printing mode and custom paper size.
Popular Printer Emulation Support
The machine supports HP LaserJet IIP printer emulation mode. If you use
DOS application software, or Windows

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.
