2.1 What is the image controller?

2

2 Overview

This chapter describes the overview and connection environment of the image controller that provides the
printer function of the machine.

2.1 What is the image controller?

The image controller is a device that enables the printing and network printing functions on the machine.

2.1.1 Role of the image controller

Incorporating the image controller enables the machine to function as a printing system, allowing printing us­ing applications on the computer connected to this printing system. When using the machine as a network
printer, you can print using applications on the computer.

1. The machine

2. Image controller

3. Printing system

The image controller provides the following functions.

- Printing data sent from a printer driver on a computer

- Support of network protocols including TCP/IP (IPv4/IPv6), IPX/SPX, and AppleTalk

- Printing via a network using Web service (Windows Vista/Server 2008/Server 2008 R2/7), SMB (Win-

dows), LPR or IPP printing

- Configuring settings for the machine and the image controller from a client computer via the network

(using a Web browser)

- Control of the number of pages to be printed (the User Authentication and Account Track functions)

2.1.2 Print flows

The following outlines the flow of operations for using this printing system as a printer.

Print data sent from an application is received by the printer driver.

The data is sent to the image controller via the USB interface for USB connection or via Ethernet (TCP/IP,
etc.) for network connection. Then the data is passed from the image controller to the machine. The image
controller rasterizes images (expands output target characters and images to bitmap data). This data is print­ed from the machine.

While this machine is operating as a printer, originals can be scanned using the copy function or network scan
function. To use the copy function of this machine, press the [Copy] key on the touch panel.

When a print job is received during copying, the data is stored in the memory of the machine. When the cop­ying is completed, the print job is automatically printed.
