nThe installer automatically updates your SYSTEM.INI Windows¨ file by
adding DEVICE=bi-di.386 under the [386Enh] section. If any
bi-directional parallel communications device driver has previously been
installed, it will be deactivated by this new driver. If you want to use the
driver that was previously installed, you should first install this driver,
then reinstall your previous driver. However, reinstalling the previous
driver will make the MFC driver inactive.
nThe installer makes the installed printer driver the Windows¨ default.
nThe installer automatically sets the printer port to the parallel interface,
LPT1 (for Windows¨ 3.1 or 3.11) and BRMFC (for Windows¨ 95, 98)
and BMFC (for Windows NT¨ Workstation 4.0).
nDuring this installation, changes have been made to the SYSTEM.INI
file. It is necessary to restart Windows¨ so the changes become
effective and the installed bi-directional parallel communications
device driver can take effect.
IMPORTANTPlease see the README.WRI file in the root directory of the CD-ROM (or
floppy disk) for last-minute important installation and troubleshooting
information.

For DOS Users
How to Use the MFC with Your DOS Application
Software
Before working with your application software that runs on DOS, check that
the  MFCÕs name appears in the printer selection of your application
software. If the MFC 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 MFC, you should install an HP printer
driver in your application software.
Printer driver supported in Emulation mode to be selected with
your application software the remote printer console program

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.
Printer Status Monitor Program
This utility program can monitor your printerÕs status using bi-directional
parallel communications. This utility program stays resident in your
computer memory (Terminate-and-Stay Resident program) and runs in the
background.
Installing the Remote Printer Console
Before you install the program, make sure you have the following hardware
and software to install the program:
DOS Version 3.3 or later
Monitor EGA/VGA or compatible
Option Mouse; the mouse driver must be installed.
(You can also operate the program with the keyboard.)
Follow these steps to install the remote printer console program:
1Make sure your MFC is connected to your computer and it is set to
Online.
2Start your computer and go to the DOS prompt. If you are in Windows¨,
exit and return to the DOS prompt.
