Workstation Version
4.0 are available on the CD-ROM supplied with your machine (see
“Installing the Printer and Scanner Drivers” Chapter 4). 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
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 Brother CD-ROM supplied with your copier/printer 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 copier/printer 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.
