Software Instructions for DOS Users
If you installed the “HP LaserJet 5L DOS Utilities and DOS Printer
Drivers” software (see Chapter 1), you have the Remote Control Panel
and the Status Monitor printer utilities on your computer.
Remote Control Panel
The Remote Control Panel, or RCP, enables you to change printer
settings if your DOS software application does not support the printer
feature you want to use.
Note Some DOS applications, such as WordPerfect for DOS, may override
settings you specify from the RCP. Change all desired settings available
in the software first, and any remaining settings with the RCP.
If you chose the Option to Update Default Printer Settings during
installation (see Chapter 1), a file containing printer defaults
(C:/HPLJUTIL/DEFAULT.PJL) is automatically sent to your printer
each time you turn on (or reset) your computer. You can make changes
to your printer settings through the Remote Control Panel and save them
to this file. This will save you from having to update your printer
settings each time you turn your system back on.
The RCP allows you to access the following features:
• Copies • Lines per page • Orientation
• Paper Size • Typeface • Symbol Set
• Manual Feed • Resolution • I/O buffering
• Pitch • EconoMode • Density
• Auto Continue • Page Protection • Self Test Page
• Resolution Enhancement Technology (REt)
To start the RCP from DOS follow these steps:
1 Make sure that the Remote Control Panel is in your path statement. You
can check your path by typing PATH and pressing [Enter]. If the
Remote Control Panel directory is not in your path, you will have to
change to the default directory C:\HPLJUTIL to start the program.
2 At the DOS prompt type RCP and press [Enter].
