How to Use Brother machine with Your DOS
Application Software
Before working with your application software that runs on DOS, check
that the  Brother machineÕs 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 IIPÕs 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.

your application software the remote printer console program

nThe best or recommended printer driver is indicated in bold.
nBe sure to choose the proper printer driver in your application software.
nBe 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 printerÕs settings and features.

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 computerÕs memory. If they donÕt 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.

Special Printing Features
If you purchased the optional Multi-Function Link¨ Pro accessory
(PCI-3CD) for your FAX 4750 or FAX 5750, follow the instructions in
this chapter.
Windows¨ Printing
The dedicated printer driver and TrueTypeª compatible fonts for
Microsoft¨ Windows¨ 3.1x, 95/98 and Windows NT¨ Workstation Version
4.0 are available on the CD-ROM supplied with your machine.  You can
install them easily into your Windows
¨ system using our installer
program.  The driver supports our unique compression mode to enhance
printing speed in Windows
¨ 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¨ 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 machineÕs 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 machineÕs 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 machineÕs memory.  With the machineÕs standard memory, you
can avoid memory errors and print most full-page, 600 dpi graphic and
text data, including larger fonts.

Printing From Your PC
Multi-purpose Paper Cassette
The machineÕs multi-purpose paper cassette can be adjusted to feed many
sizes of paper:  letter, legal, A4, B5 and A5 plain paper. When the machine
receives print data from your computer, it loads paper from the paper
cassette.
nSelect the print command from your PC.
Your PC sends a print command and data to the machine.  The machine
displays the date and time and RECEIVING DATA.  If there are more
pages, the machine begins to print the next page automatically.  When
printing is finished, it returns to online status.
You may select the proper paper source, paper size, and page orientation
in your application software.
If your application software does not support your custom paper size,
select the next larger paper size.  Then adjust the print area by changing
the right and left margins in your application software. (See Acceptable
Paper, page 2-5.)
Use the manual feed slot for labels, transparencies, card stock, thicker
paper or envelopes.
Two-Sided Printing (Manual Duplexing)
The supplied printer drivers for Windows¨ 3.1x, 95/98 and Windows NT¨
Workstation Version 4.0 enable manual duplex printing.  (For more
information, see the Help screen for the printer driver.)
The machine prints all the
even-numbered pages on one
side of the paper first.
Then, the Windows
¨ driver
instructs you (with a pop-up
message) to reinsert the paper.
Before reinserting the paper,
straighten it well, or you may
get a paper jam.  Very thin or
very thick paper is not recommended.
Caution
When you use manual duplexing, it is possible that a paper jam may occur
or the print quality might not be satisfactory. (See Paper is Jammed in the
Multi-purpose Paper Cassette, page 17-6.)
