What Does Remote Printer Console Do?
The Remote Printer Console (RPC) is a utility program which runs in the DOS environment
and comprises the following two programs:
❏ Remote Printer Console Main Program
This program allows you to change various machine settings such as emulation, print
quality, fonts, page setup and so on from your computer screen. Since most DOS
applications have a machine settings menu which overrides the settings made by the RPC,
you may not need to use this utility program. This utility program is useful for application
software which does not control the machine’s settings and features.
❏ Machine Status Monitor Program
This utility program can monitor your machine’s status using bi-directional parallel
communications. If your machine has no paper, this utility program displays “
Paper
Empty
” error status and instructions for corrective action on your computer screen. This
utility program stays resident in your computer memory (Terminate-and-Stay Resident
program) and runs in the background.
