Action 6-3: Prepare DOS for the Printer
How to Use the Printer in Your DOS Application Software (without using the
Windows system)
Before working with application software that runs under DOS, if you do not already have a
suitable driver installed, you will need to install a printer driver that matches one of the
following supported emulations: HP LaserJet 5P, EPSON FX-850, or IBM Proprinter XL
printers.
The following table shows the combinations of printer drivers and printer emulation mode. To
get the most out of this printer, you should install an HP printer driver in your application
software.

NOTE
The best or recommended printer driver is indicated in bold.
Be sure to choose the correct printer driver in your application software. Failure to do so
may cause poor or inconsistent results.
What Does Remote Printer Console Do?
The Remote Printer Console (RPC) is a utility program which runs 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 and so on from your computer screen. Since most DOS
applications have a printer settings menu which overrides the settings made by the RPC,
you may not need to use this utility program. This utility program is useful for application
software which does not control the printer's settings and features.
Printer Status Monitor Program
This utility program can monitor your printer's status using bi-directional parallel
communications. If your printer has no paper, this utility program displays "Paper Empty"
error status and instructions for corrective action on your computer screen. This utility
program stays resident in your computer memory (Terminate-and-Stay Resident program)
and runs in the background.
