The Print Controller
Introduction
Welcome to the wonderful world of printing with the IP-302 Print Controller.
The IP-302 Print Controller interfaces with your Konica printer, enabling you to
print directly from your PC or network.
The IP-302 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, IP-302 language detection works like this:
• 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 of the IP-302 is the PowerPCL from Pipeline
Associates, Inc. It is an HP PCL 5E clone that supports multiple resolutions and
PJL commands.
PostScript: The optional PostScript interpreter for the IP-302 is PowerPage2
from Pipeline Associates, 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 differ-
ences, except for differences created in the devices themselves.
PJL Commands: Many of the PJL commands, as defined by HP, are supported
by the IP-302. Several special functions are controlled in PCL mode via the PJL
commands. In addition, commands to provide bidirectional (BiDi) functionality
are also supported.

Special Media
Paper type can be specified from the print job screen. Overhead transparency
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 IP-302 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.

The Print Controller 1-7
Most of the memory in the IP-302 is used for rasterizing the image. A small
portion is used for the system operation (see NOTE).
The basic configuration of the IP-302 includes 16 MB of RAM, which allows 1-
bit mode printing at 400 dpi on all paper sizes. The IP-302 print controller may
be upgraded to 128 MB in 32 MB increments 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 IP-302 rasterizes the pages in the print job and sends
them to the E-RDH memory. While pages are being printed from the E-RDH
memory, the IP-302 continues to rasterize the next print job in the sequence.
The more memory in the IP-302, 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 SIMM/DIMM
modules be installed by a Konica certified technician. For details, contact your
Konica service representative or call Konica National Technical Support Center

Installing Printer Drivers
Printer Drivers that come with your IP-302 Print Controller are actually software
programs, enabling you to control printing settings for the selected printer.
Before you can print from your application (e.g., spreadsheet or word processor),
the appropriate printer driver must be installed on your computer system.
The installation procedure is similar for all printer drivers. The example shown
below is for the Windows 3.x printer driver, and includes the following steps:
• Installing a specific printer driver
• Assigning a port to the printer
• Specifying settings for your printer (optional)
• Setting the default printer
Installing a Specific Printer Driver
(Example: Windows 3.x)
1. Double-click the Main icon in Program Manager.
2. Choose the Control Panel icon.
3. In the control Panel window, choose the Printers icon.
4. Choose the Add button.
5. In the List Of Printers box, select Install Unlisted or Updated Printer.
Depending upon the printer driver version, you may need to use the Browse
button to find and select the driver. Then, click on OK until you get to the
Add Unlisted or Updated Printer box.
NOTE: To install a driver that is listed, but not installed, simply highlight it in List of Printers box.
6. Choose the Install button.
