CHAPTER 1 ABOUT THIS PRINTER

❏ Remote Printer Console Program for DOS
The Remote Printer Console (RPC) utility program is available on the CD-ROM supplied
with your printer. When you operate your computer in a DOS (Disk Operating System)
environment, this RPC program allows you to easily change the default settings of the
printer such as fonts, page setup, and emulations.
This RPC 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.
❏ Environment-Friendly
Economy Printing Mode
This feature will cut your printing cost by saving toner. For example, you can print draft
copies for proof-reading. You can select from two economy modes—25% toner save and
50% toner save—through the Windows
®
printer driver supplied with your printer.
Sleep Mode (Power Save Mode)
When the printer is not used for a certain period of time, sleep mode automatically reduces
power consumption. This printer consumes less than 6 Watts when in sleep mode.
Low Running Cost
Since the toner cartridge is separate from the drum unit, you must replace only the toner
cartridge after approximately 3,000 pages, which is both cost effective and ecologically
friendly. (
An optional high capacity toner cartridge that will print up to 6,000 pages is
also available for this printer.
)
The actual number of pages printed with a toner cartridge may vary depending on your
average type of print job. The figures quoted are based on 5% coverage per page.
You can print up to 20,000 pages with the drum unit, however there are many factors that
determine the actual drum life.
