The Print Controller
Introduction
This print controller interfaces with your Konica printer main body engin e,
enabling you to print directly from your PC or network.
This print controller supports PCL 5E and PostScript Level 1 & 2 compliant
files and automatically uses the correct language for each print job, provided the
print job follows specific industry standard conventions for detecting the
beginning and end of each job.
Basically, the print controller language detection works as follows:
• To determine the language in which the job was created, the preprocessor
checks the beginning of each job.
• When a specific language code is detected, the preprocessor switches to that
language, and then processes the job.
• If the preprocessor cannot determine which language to use, the default
language will be used for the job.
• The system determines when the end of job is reached by the end-of-file
command of each language or by a 30-second time-out.
• For language switching to function correctly, the system must be able to detect
when the end of job is reached.
PCL 5E: The PCL 5E interpreter for the print controller is the PowerPCL from
Electronics for Imaging, Inc. This is an HP PCL 5E clone that supports multiple
resolutions and PJL commands.
PostScript: The optional PostScript interpreter for the print controller is the
PowerPage2 from Electronics for Imaging, Inc. This is a Level 2 PostScript
interpreter that also has Level 1 compatibility. The PostScript programming
language is specifically tailored to produce images in a device independent
manner. PostScript language programs are reproducible on virtually any device
without significant differences, except for differences created in the devices
themselves.
PJL Commands: Many of the PJL commands, as defined by HP, are supported
by this print controller. Several special functions are controlled in PCL mode via
the PJL commands. In addition, commands to provide bidirectional (BiDi)
functionality are also supported.

material (OHT/OHP), thick paper, and thin paper can only be used through the
manual bypass tray. After selecting the manual bypass tray, you will be
prompted to insert the requested size paper into the tray.
Normally (in non-wait mode), the print controller system will print as long as
Letter size paper is installed. However, you may activate the Wait Mode and
have the opportunity to confirm that the desired paper type (OHP) is installed.
Check with your Konica Service representative if you wish to activate the Wait
Mode.

Memory Configuration
Most of the memory in this print controller is used for rasterizing the image. A
small portion is used for the system operation (see NOTE).
The basic print controller configuration includes 32 MB of RAM, which allows
1-bit mode printing at 400 dpi on all paper sizes. The print controller may be
upgraded in 32/64/128 MB DIMM increments to a maximum of 512 MB
(4x128) to allow 8-bit Grayscale printing on Tabloid (11"x17") A3 paper, or
double buffering on smaller paper sizes.
When using the E-RDH in the one-sided mode, printing will be performed
simultaneously while the print controller rasterizes the pages in the print job and
sends them to the E-RDH memory. While pages are being printed from the ERDH memory, the print controller continues to rasterize the next print job in the
sequence.
The more memory in the print controller, the more pages it can rasterize while
waiting for the previous job to print. A typical example of the memory requirements for a Letter page is as follows:
1-Bit 8-Bit
400 DPI 1,870 Kbytes 14.96 Mbytes
600 DPI 4,207 Kbytes 33.66 Mbytes
32 MBytes installed=15 pages @1-Bit, 400 DPI
NOTE: ~2.7 MB is used for the system.
You may select various image quality modes from your print driver screen to
produce various levels of grayscale. The following Table shows the available
image quality modes and the grayscale levels they produce.
Print Mode Print Engine Print Controller Grayscale
Text 1-Bit Mode 1-Bit Mode 2 Levels
Medium 2-Bit Mode 8-Bit Mode 4 Levels
High 4-Bit Mode 8-Bit Mode 16 Levels
Very High 8-Bit Mode 8-Bit Mode 256 Levels
Memory Upgrade Modules
To obtain optimal printer performance, Konica recommends that DIMM
modules be installed by a Konica certified technician. For details, contact your
Konica service representative or call Konica National Technical Support Center
at 1(800) 825-5664.
