Using RCP for DOS

To start the Remote Control Panel for DOS, type dosrcp at the DOS 
prompt, then press Enter.

The Remote Control Panel for DOS is somewhat different than that for 
Windows. If you change any item in the Remote Control Panel for DOS, 
you must send it to the printer by selecting the Send settings to printer 
item in the File menu.

Quality

Density

Determines the overall density of the printed image.

Econo Mode

Determines the toner quantity to use when printing. If 
this mode is set to ON, the printer conserves toner 
when printing. The default value is OFF, which 
provides 100% usage.

Test

Configuration List

Prints the current printer configuration.

Demo List

Prints a demonstration page showing the main 
features of the printer.
