FEATURES
This printer has the following features:
300dpi Resolution and 6ppm Printing Speed
300 dots per inch (dpi) with microfine toner and six pages per minute (ppm)
printing speed (Letter paper).
Versatile Paper Handing
The printer has a multi-purpose sheet feeder and straight paper path
mechanism. Using this mechanism, you can load A4, letter, legal, B5, A5
and executive size of paper, and various types of paper including envelopes,
postcard, organizer paper, and your custom paper size. The multi-purpose
sheet feeder also allows manual paper loading, so you can also use labels.
Remote Printer Console Program for DOS
The utility program, Remote Printer Console, is available on the floppy disk
supplied with your printer. When you operate your computer in the DOS
(Disk Operating System) environment, this allows you to easily change the
default setting of the printer such as fonts, page setup, emulations and so
on. This program also provides a status monitor program, which is a
Terminate-and-Stay Resident (TSR) program. It can monitor the printer
status while running in the background and report the current status or
errors on your computer screen.
Popular Printer Emulation Support
This printer supports three printer emulation modes, HP LaserJet IIP,
Epson FX-850, and IBM Proprinter XL. When you use DOS application
software or Windows
TM
version 3.0 or earlier, you can use any of these
emulations to operate the printer. The printer also supports Auto-emulation
switching between HP and Epson or HP and IBM. If you want to fix the
printer emulation, you can do it using the Remote Printer Console
Program.
Bi-Directional Parallel Interface
The parallel interface of this printer allows bi-directional communication
with a computer. This interface allows the printer to communicate back to
the computer useful information such as the amount of memory installed,
and other printer setup conditions. As the supplied Remote Printer
Console program or Windows
TM
3.1 driver supports the bi-directional
mode, they can both report the printer status.
Optional Macintosh Interface (Standard in some countries)
The optional Macintosh serial interface kit is available with a driver, which
allows your printer to be connected to Macintosh computers. With this
option, you can use your printer with both an IBM PC, or its clone, and a
Macintosh at the same time. This optional interface board can be used as
a RS-422A interface for Macintosh or a RS-232C serial interface for IBM
PC or compatible.
Enhanced Memory Management
The printer has it's own data Compression Technology, which can
automatically compress graphic data and downloaded font data efficiently
into the printer memory . You can avoid memory errors and print most
fullpage 300 dpi graphic and text data, including large fonts, with printer's
standard memory.
