\[Notice\]

1. The computer environment required to use
  this program is as follows;

  DOS           Version 3.3 or later
  Monitor       EGA/VGA or compatible
  Option        Mouse; Microsoft(R) Mouse
                Driver or compatible driver
                must be installed. (You can
                also operate this program
                with the keyboard only.)

2. This program works in the environment
  where your printer is directly connected
  to your computer. If there is a printer
  buffer switch which does not support bi-
  directional communications between the
  printer and computer, it cannot work in
  bi-directional mode. It can still work in
  the PC to printer direction. This allows
  normal printing but does not allow
  printer status read back.

3. It cannot work with printers on a
  network.

4. It sometimes cannot work with some
  applications. In that case, try to
  execute it after ending the application.

5. It can work in the DOS-compatible box
  screen mode of Windows. However, it is
  recommended that you completely exit from
  Windows to DOS before using this program.

6. The Status Monitor of this program and
  some other terminate-stay-resident
  programs cannot co-exist in computer
  memory. If they don't work properly
  together, use only the one terminate-stay-
  resident program that you require. You
  can suspend the Status Monitor with any
  of the following methods:


  ·Type STMX/r and press the \<Enter\> key
   to remove the resident Status Monitor
  ·Keep pressing the space bar while the
   AUTOEXEC.BAT file runs at DOS startup so
   as not to make the status monitor
   resident in memory.
<4>  Function

\[Function\]

 1.When this program starts, the Current
  Printer Information box appears to show
  the current status, settings and
  available RAM capacity of the printer. If
  this program cannot run in the bi-
  directional mode, the computer cannot get
  information from the printer so the
  current status and RAM capacity of the
  printer cannot be displayed. In this case
  the default printer settings - not the
  current printer settings - are displayed.


 2.If necessary, you can change printer
  settings in the Current Printer
  Information box. Select any current or
  default setting with the Cursor Up or
  Down key and press the \<Enter\> Key, so
  that the setting menu appears to allow
  you to change the setting. Select the
  desired new setting with the cursor keys
  or type in a new value, and then press
  the \<Enter\> key.

  If you would like to change further
  settings, you can enter the  setting mode
  by selecting the <Printer Setup<200>>
  Menu on the Menu Bar at the top of the
  screen (Press \<Alt\>+P).

 3.The following functions are also
  selected from the menu bar.

  <Direct Access<100>> Functions to control
   the printer directly, such as resetting
   the printer, printer self test print,
   etc. (Press \<Alt\>+D)

  <Console Config.<300>>    Functions to
   set the environment of this program,
   such as Color, status monitor
   configuration and so forth. (Press

In the case of the centronics cable not
having all necessary signal lines, bi-
directional communication between PC and
PRINTER is not possible. Instead, only uni-
directional communication from PC to
PRINTER is possible.
<10> Paper Empty

\[[Cause]\]
The sheet feeder has run out of paper and
the printer cannot print.

\[[Action]\]
 You should place the correct size paper in
the sheet feeder and press the Form
Feed/CONT key on the printer.
<11>      Load Paper in Manual Slot

\[[Cause]\]
 The printer is requesting you to load
paper in the manual slot.

\[[Action]\]
 You should load paper in the manual slot
and press the FF/CONT key on the printer to
continue printing.
<12> Memory Full for XL

\[[Cause]\]
 The memory of the printer has reached its
full capacity and cannot process any more
data. This may be due to too many soft
fonts, macros or complex graphics loaded in
the printer memory.

\[[Action]\]
 You should press the FF/Cont key to print
any transferred data there may be within
the printer memory. Then either simplify
the print job or expand the memory by
adding the optional memory board
<13> Print Overrun for XL

\[[Cause]\]
 The printer has not processed all the data
before starting to print and therefore has
misprinted. For example, you may have tried
to send a graphic that is too complicated
to the printer.

\[[Action]\]
 You should press the FF/CONT key to print
any transferred data and then should reduce
the complexity of the print job.  Then
resend the data to the printer for
printing.
<14> Interface Line Error

\[[Cause]\]
 There may be a problem concerning the
interface.

\[[Action]\]
 When the parallel interface is used, you
should Check that the interface cable is
connected to your computer securely in the
correct position and check for any visible
damage to the cable.
 When the serial interface is used, you
should check the communication parameters
such as baud rate, code type, parity and
handshake protocol of both your computer
and printer.
<15> Input Buffer Overflow

\[[Cause]\]
 The input buffer memory has overflowed.
This means that the printer cannot receive
any more data.

\[[Action]\]
 You should press the FF/CONT key to resume
printing.
 When the parallel interface is used, if
the fault remains consult your dealer, the
interface hardware may be damaged.
 When the serial interface is used, you
should check the handshake protocol, and
then resend your data. If the error occurs
again, the interface hardware may be
damaged.
<16> Service Error

\[[Cause]\]
 Some error has occurred within either the
mechanics or electronics of the printer. It
is an error which you probably cannot
correct.

\[[Action]\]
 However, to try to cure the problem, you
should first unplug the printer, wait a
short time and then plug it back in and try
to print again. If the problem occurs again
you should call your dealer or a Brother
Service Representative.
<17> Cover Open or No Sheet feeder

\[[Cause]\]
 The cover of the printer is open and/or
there is no sheet feeder unit in the
printer.

\[[Action]\]
 You should close the printer cover and/or
insert the sheet feeder, making sure the
right paper is present.
<18> Paper Jam

\[[Cause]\]
 There is a paper jam in the printer.

\[[Action]\]
 You should locate the jammed paper and
carefully remove it. Refer to the User
guide book for complete instructions.
<19> No Drum Unit or Toner Cartridge

\[[Cause]\]
 There is no drum unit and/or no toner
cartridge present in the printer.

\[[Action]\]
 You should remove the sheet feeder, open
the printer cover and insert the drum unit
and/or the toner cartridge in the correct
position. You should refer to the User
guide book for complete instructions.
<20> Toner Empty

\[[Cause]\]
 There is no toner present in the toner
cartridge. This disables the printer to
prevent damage to the developer drum unit.

\[[Action]\]
 You should open the printer, remove the
empty toner cartridge and carefully insert
a new toner cartridge. You should refer to
the User guide book for complete
instructions.
<21> 300 dpi Printing (for X)

\[[Status]\]
 Your document is printed at 300 dpi
because of insufficient memory.

\[[Action]\]
 Set the page protection to AUTO and try
again. If the error occurs again, expand
the memory by adding a commercially
available SIMM or reduce the complexity of
your document.
<22> Memory Full (for X)

\[[Cause]\]
 The memory of the printer has reached its
full capacity and cannot process any more
data.  This may be due to too many soft
fonts or complex graphics loaded in the
printer memory.

\[[Action]\]
 You should press the FF/Cont key to print
any transferred data there may be within
the printer memory. Then take either,
simplify the print job or expand the memory
by adding SIMM.  There might be a case that
turning PAGE PROTECT off eliminates this
error.
<23> Print Overrun (for X)

\[[Cause]\]
 The printer has not processed all the data
before starting to print and therefore has
misprinted. For example, you may have tried
to send a graphic that is too complicated
to the printer.

\[[Action]\]
 You should press the FF/Cont key to print
any transferred data and then should reduce
the complexity of the print job.  Then
resend the data to the printer for
printing. Another solution is to expand the
printer memory and set PAGE PROTECT to A4,
Letter or Legal.

is in a low power consumption state.
<201>     PRINT SETUP

\[Print Setup\]

 In order to use the printer with a
particular application, you must set
various printer functions to suit the print
job application. PRINT SETUP involves the
setting of the following functions :

     <Copy<210>>
     <Resolution<211>>
     <Quality<212>>
     <Economy Level<246>>
     <Page Protect<213>>
     <Emulation<214>>
     <Auto FF<217>>
<202>     PAGE SETUP

\[Page Setup\]

 In order to use the printer with a
particular application, you must set
various printer functions to suit the print
job application. PAGE SETUP involves the
setting of the functions which determine
the basic layout of the page. If you are
using your printer with application
software which automatically sends setting
values to the printer, the values from the
application software will be valid, except
for the X Offset and Y Offset settings.
Within PAGE SETUP you can set the following
functions :

     <Paper Size<220>>
     <Orientation<221>>
     <Left Margin<222>>
     <Right Margin<223>>
     <Top Margin<224>>
     <Bottom Margin<225>>
     <Lines/Page<226>>
     <X Offset<227>>
     <Y Offset<228>>
<203>     FONT CONFIG

\[Font Config\]

 In order to use the printer with a
particular application, you must set
various printer functions to suit the print
job application. If you are using your
printer with application software which
automatically sends setting values to the
printer, the values from the application
software will be valid. FONT CONFIG
involves the setting of the following
functions, which determine the style of the
print:

     <Font Source<229>>
     <Font Name, Pitch and Point<230>>
     <Symbol Set<231>>
<204>     PRINTER CONFIG

\[Printer Config\]

 In order to use the printer with a
particular application, you must set
various printer functions to suit the print
job application. PRINTER CONFIG involves
the setting of the following functions:

     <Continue Mode<234>>
     <Auto I/F Time Out<236>>
     <Parallel High Speed<237>>
     <Auto Sleep Time Out<239>>
     <Reprint<265>>
<205>     OTHER CONFIG

\[Other Config\]

 In order to use the printer with a
particular application, you must set
various printer functions to suit the print
job application. OTHER CONFIG involves the
setting of the functions which affect the
print position such as line feed, carriage
return etc. You can set the following
functions:

     <Auto LF<240>>
     <Auto CR<241>>
     <Auto Wrap<242>>
     <Auto Skip<243>>
     <Auto Mask<244>>
     <Print PS Errors<245>>
<206>     FILE

\[File\]

  You can use this function to send, load
and save settings related to the printer
setup to a file. Within FILE you can select
from:

     <Send Settings<260>>
     <Load Settings<261>>
     <Save Settings<262>>
     <Save as Command<263>>
     <Load Default<264>>
<210>   Copy

\[Copy\]

 This determines the number of copies of
each sheet which will be printed by the
printer. You can set this number between 1
and 200.
<211>   Resolution

\[Resolution\]

 Resolution refers to the number of dots
per inch. You must select a resolution of
300dpi, or 600dpi where this is available
on your printer. This should be selected
to suit the resolution of the files you are
printing. In some cases, when a high
resolution has been selected and there is
limited printer memory, the printer may not
be able to print a large file. The higher
the resolution and the larger the file
size, the more memory is required.
<212>   Quality

\[Quality\]

  ECONOMY mode has a lower print density
and therefore uses less toner and reduces
the cost per page.  NORMAL mode prints at
the selected print density.
<213>   Page Protect

\[Page Protect\]

 Most print jobs can be executed with PAGE
PROTECTION set to OFF. However, if the
print images are too complex, (e.g.
complicated graphics and a lot of
downloaded data) the printer may lose data
and print only part of the page. In this
case the message PRINT OVERRUN will appear.
By setting this function to on, such a
scenario may be avoided as the page protect
feature allow the printer to create the
image to be printed in memory before
physically moving the paper through the
printer.  Auto Page Protect does not
require the additional memory.  However, if
you get the "PRINT OVERRUN", expand the
printer memory and set Page Protect to A4,
Letter or Legal. If you get the "MEMORY
FULL", turn the Page Protect OFF and try
again.
NOTE: At 300dpi, Legal setting is only
available if the memory in the printer has
been expanded to more than 3 Mbytes. At
600dpi, A4,Letter or Legal settings are
only available if the memory in the printer
has been expanded to more than 6 Mbytes.
If there is not enough memory installed in
the printer, your document may be printed
at 300 dpi.
<214>   Emulation

\[Emulation\]

 The printer is capable of emulating a
number of different printers. The emulation
that you choose will primarily depend on
the application software that you are
using. AUTO emulation is an option which
allows the printer to switch between
emulation modes automatically when data is
received. If AUTO emulation does not work
with your application, you should select
the appropriate emulation. When AUTO
emulation has been selected, the following
two settings are available:

     <Auto Emulation Time Out<215>>
     <FX/XL Priority<216>>
<215>     Auto Emulation Time Out

\[Auto Emulation Time Out\]

 This setting is available when AUTO
emulation has been selected. This is the
time period during which the printer will
not allow another automatic emulation
change. You can set this time out in the
range of 1-99 seconds in units of 1 second.
<216>     FX/XL Priority

\[FX/XL Priority\]

 This setting is available when AUTO
emulation has been selected. As the printer
cannot distinguish between the Epson and
IBM emulations, you must select the
priority for the printer between Epson FX
or IBM XL emulation when using the auto
emulation mode.
<217>     Auto FF

\[Auto FF\]

 Sometimes, unprinted data may remain
inside the printer. The auto form feed
function allows you to decide whether or
not this page should be automatically
printed and ejected from the printer. If
the auto form feed is set to ON, the
printer will automatically print out the
data after the time out has elapsed. If the
auto form feed is selected to OFF and data
remains inside the printer, the DATA lamp
will come on and you must send a form feed
command, or press the FF/Cont switch in
order for the remaining data to be printed
out. Within the auto form feed function,
the <Auto FF Time Out<218>> setting is
available.
<218>     Auto FF Time Out

\[Auto FF Time Out\]

 This setting is available when Auto Form
Feed has been selected. It is the time
period before the printer will generate an
automatic form feed. You can set it within
the range of 1-99 seconds in units of 1
second. For example, when the time-out is
set at 5 seconds, the printer will perform
a form feed 5 seconds after data has
remained in the printer and no further data
is received.
<219>     FF Suppress

\[FF Suppress\]

 Sometimes, pages containing no print data
are fed through the printer. (e.g. some
software applications automatically feed a
blank page through the printer between
print jobs). By selecting the FF Suppress
function to ON, the printing of such blank
pages will be prevented.
<220>     Paper Size

\[Paper Size\]

 As the paper cassette tray is a universal
size, there are various cut sheet paper and
envelope sizes which can be used. Please
refer to the User guide manual for full
information. You should select the paper
size which will be used in the sheet
feeder.
<221>     Orientation

\[Orientation\]

 This function determines the direction in
which the printer will print onto the
paper. You must select either Portrait or
Landscape. Portrait images are longer than
broad and Landscape images are broader than
long.
<222>     Left Margin

\[Left Margin\]

 This determines the distance from the left
edge of the paper where printing can begin.
Unless you alter the left margin setting,
the factory settings will automatically be
selected. As the minimum text width is 10
print columns, the left margin setting
should be set at least 10 columns less than
that for the right margin. The setting
range for the left margin is from 0-126.
The units are columns at 1/10 of an inch.
<223>     Right Margin

\[Right Margin\]

 This determines the distance from the left
edge of the paper where printing finishes.
Unless you alter the right margin setting,
the factory settings will automatically be
selected. As the minimum text width is 10
print columns, the right margin setting
should be at least 10 columns larger than
that for the left margin. The setting range
for the right margin is from 10-136. The
units are columns at 1/10 of an inch.
<224>     Top Margin

\[Top Margin\]

 The top margin determines the distance
from the top of the paper within which
printing will not occur.
<225>     Bottom Margin

\[Bottom Margin\]

 The bottom margin determines the distance
from the bottom edge of the paper within
which printing will not occur.
<226>     Lines/Page

\[Lines/Page\]

 This determines the number of lines per
page. The range is from 5-128 lines.
<227>     X Offset

\[X Offset\]

 This allows the printed image to be offset
in the horizontal (left/right) axis. The
units are dots at 300dpi and adjustment can
be made from -500 to +500 dots. A negative
number will offset to the left and a
positive number will offset to the right.
This offset starts from the left margin.
The factory setting is 0. i.e. No X offset.
<228>     Y Offset

\[Y Offset\]

 This allows the printed image to be offset
in the vertical (up/down) axis. The units
are dots at 300dpi and the adjustment can
be made from -500 to +500 dots. A negative
number will offset upwards and a positive
number will offset downwards. This offset
starts from the top margin. The factory
setting is 0. i.e. No Y offset.
<229>     Font Source

\[Font Source\]

 This function allows you to select the
desired font source. You can select from
the internal font source and other
available font sources. If any permanent
fonts have been downloaded into the
printer, the option of selecting these
permanent fonts will also be available.
<230>     Font name, Pitch and Point

\[Font Name, Pitch and Point\]

 This function enables you to select the
font (typeface) to be used by the printer.

 In some cases the pitch (characters per
inch) can be selected. This determines the
spacing of the characters. The higher the
selected pitch, the closer together the
characters will appear when printed.

 In some cases the point size (height) of
the character can be selected. The larger
the selected point size, the taller the
characters will appear when printed.
<231>     Symbol Set

\[Symbol Set\]

 This function allows you to select the
symbol set (specific character sets) from
the options displayed.
<232>     Idle Font

\[Idle Font\]

 You can select this function to ON or OFF.
When a scalable font has been selected, the
information from that scalable font
actually creates a bitmapped font for
printing. This usually occurs just before
printing, and as it takes time to process
the font, it therefore lengthens the time
before the printer can print. If the idle
font function is set to ON, the printer can
create these bitmap fonts whilst it is
idle, and therefore can print more quickly
when data is received. However, this idle
font function requires printer memory to be
available. If MEMORY FULL occurs when the
idle font function is set to ON, it is
recommendable to set it to OFF or expand
the memory using an optional memory board.
<234>     Continue Mode

\[Continue Mode\]

 This function offers two options :
Continue mode MANUAL or Continue mode AUTO.
In some instances, when a printer error has
occurred, the printer can override it.
(This is called a recoverable error). If
the setting is at AUTO, the printer will
automatically attempt to override such an
error and continue with the print job. If
the setting is MANUAL, you can override a
recoverable error by pressing the FF/Cont
switch. (It is important to realize that
though the error has been overridden, it
has not been corrected and therefore the
printed image may be incorrect)
<235>     Input Buffer

\[Input Buffer\]

 The input buffer is the area within the
printer memory allocated for receiving data
from a computer. You can increase or
decrease the input buffer capacity,
according to your varying requirements. A
larger input buffer capacity will allow the
printer to receive data more quickly from
the computer. This function is particularly
useful to release your computer quickly
from a printing job.
<236>     Auto I/F Time Out

\[Auto I/F Time Out\]

 When data is received from a host computer
(A), the printer will automatically set
itself to receive data using interface (A).
While data is being received via interface
(A), data from another computer (B) cannot
be received. After all the data from
interface (A) has been received, there is a
period of time during which NO DATA AT ALL
can be received. Once this time has
elapsed, data from interface (B) can be
received by the printer. This time is the
Auto I/F Time Out. This can be set within
the range 1-99 seconds in units of 1
second.
<237>     Parallel High Speed

\[Parallel High Speed\]

 In order to enhance parallel interface
receiving capabilities, this function can
be selected to VALID. If your computer can
transfer print data at high speed and this
function has been set to VALID, then the
printer can  receive the data more quickly.
However, in some cases the computer cannot
send high speed data to your printer. If
this is the case the Parallel High Speed
should be set to INVALID.
<238>     Auto Sleep

\[Auto Sleep\]

 When this function is set to ON, the
printer will be enabled to go into sleep
mode after the time out period has elapsed.
When the printer is in sleep mode, it is
set at a low power consumption level. If
this function is set to OFF, the printer
will not be able to enter sleep mode and
will constantly be at a standby power
level. With Auto Sleep set to ON, the time
out can be selected.
<239>     Auto Sleep Time Out

\[Auto Sleep Time Out\]

 When the printer has not received any
print data, and there are no key operations
for a specified amount of time (default 15
or 2 minutes), it can be set to switch
itself into a low power consumption mode.
This setting specifies the length of time
after which the auto sleep function will be
enabled. This time is measured from the
last time a page was printed or from the
last time a key operation was made, and you
can select the time out within the range of
1-99 minutes in units of 1 minute.
<240>     Auto LF

\[Auto LF\]

 When this function is set ON, the printer
will automatically implement a line feed
for every carriage return code received.
When set to OFF, the print position will
simply return to the left margin. Some word
processing packages require this function
to be ON, otherwise printing will occur all
on one line. Similarly some word processing
packages require this function to be OFF,
otherwise printing will occur double line
spaced. By simply changing the setting,
these problems will probably be rectified.
<241>     Auto CR

\[Auto CR\]

 If this function is set ON, the printer
will automatically implement an additional
carriage return to the left margin whenever
a line feed, form feed or vertical tab code
is received. When set to OFF, the codes
will simply move the print position down
the page without affecting the horizontal
positioning.
<242>     Auto Wrap

\[Auto Wrap\]

 If Auto Wrap is set to ON, whenever the
print position reaches the right margin, a
carriage return and line feed are
automatically added. If Auto Wrap is set to
OFF, printing will continue at the right
margin until a cursor positioning command
is received. (e.g. carriage return, line
feed, form feed etc.)
<243>     Auto Skip

\[Auto Skip\]

 If Auto Skip is set to ON, the printer
will automatically perform a form feed when
the bottom margin of the paper has been
reached. When Auto Skip is set to OFF, the
printer will continue printing at the
bottom margin of the page until a form feed
command is received. Usually this should be
set to ON.
<244>     Auto Mask

\[Auto Mask\]

 When this function is set to ON, your
settings for top and bottom margins of the
printer are ignored and are treated as
zero. You must select the paper length to
11 inches when using A4(International) or
letter(US) size paper and set to 14 inches
for legal(US) paper. When you are using
application software set to IBM or EPSON
emulation it is recommended to set this
function to ON.
<245>     Print PS Errors

\[Print PS Errors\]

 This function is only applicable when the
printer is in the Br-Script mode. If you
select this function to ON, in the event of
a Postscript error occurring, an error
report will automatically be printed out.

<246>     Economy Level

\[Economy Level\]

 This function is only applicable when the
Print Quality is set to ECONOMY. You can
select the two levels of ECONOMY mode. 25%
Toner Saving mode or 50% Toner Saving mode.

which is ordinarily saved by
<Save Settings <262>> function, and
FILENAME.PCM is the special settings file
which is saved by <Save as Command<263>>
function. These files can be loaded in the
same way by "load settings".
<262>     Save Settings

\[Save Settings\]

 For specific applications you may require
specific settings and therefore, in order
to save time and prevent you from having to
reset the settings each time, you can
simply save the settings to a file and load
them again the next time they are required.
You simply select the Save Settings
command, name the settings with a file name
and these settings will be saved and stored
for future use.
<263>     Save as command

\[Save as Printer command stream\]

 This function enables you to save the
current settings as a file in the same way
as "Save Settings", but the settings are
saved as a printer command stream.
Therefore, you may use the settings file to
directly control the printer. For example,
you can send the file to the printer by
using the DOS copy command to set up the
printer.
These settings files can also be called
from an application that requires a printer
initialization and/or termination string.
This program enables you to prepare these
files quickly and easily.
The saved settings file is readable by
"Load Settings".
