Popular Printer Emulation Support The DCP supports HP LaserJet IIP printer emulation mode. If you use DOS application software, 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 MFL Pro Suite CD-ROM supplied with your DCP includes the utility program Remote Printer Console (RPC).

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 DCP's parallel interface enables it to send memory and printer setup information to the computer. USING THE BROTHER DCP AS A PRINTER 7-1 Printing From Your PC Multi-purpose Paper Cassette The DCP's multi-purpose paper cassette can be adjusted to feed many sizes of paper: letter, legal, A4, A5, B5, A6, B6 and executive plain paper. When the DCP receives print data from your computer, it loads paper from the paper cassette. Insert the sheet of paper with the side you wish to print on face down in the paper cassette. If there are more pages, the DCP begins to print the next page automatically. You may select the proper paper source, paper size, and page orientation in your application software. If your application software does not support your custom paper size, select the next larger paper size. Then adjust the print area by changing the right and left margins in your application software. (See Acceptable Paper, page 2-5. ) Use the manual feed slot for envelopes, labels, transparencies, card stock or thicker paper. Two-Sided Printing (Manual Duplexing) The supplied printer drivers for Windows® 95/98/Me and Windows NT® Workstation Version 4. 0 enable manual duplex printing. (For more information, see the Help screen for the printer driver. ) The DCP prints all the evennumbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, the Windows® driver instructs you (with a pop-up message) to reinsert the paper. Before reinserting the paper, straighten it well, or you may get a paper jam. Very thin or very thick paper is not recommended. 7-2 USING THE BROTHER DCP AS A PRINTER Caution When you use manual duplexing, it is possible that a paper jam may occur or the print quality might not be satisfactory. (See Paper is Jammed in the Paper Cassette, page 14-4. ) Front Output Bin The DCP ejects paper with printed surfaces face down into the output bin in the front of the DCP.
