Overview of the Print Controller

Print Controller and Main Body Printer

The print controller is designed to be used as an external type server of the main body printer/copier.
The print controller can be used to connect the main body printer to computers or to a network on which the main body printer can function as a printer/network printer from applications on Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000. The optional network interface card is required for connecting to a network.
Printing System
Print Controller
For use as a local printer
Main Body Printer
For use as a networked printer
(Optional network interface card required)
When the command for printing is executed from an application on Windows 95/98/ Me/NT 4.0/2000, print data is sent to the print controller by way of a parallel Interface (IEEE 1284) or a network.
The interpreter inside the print controller rasterizes the print data to image data (bitmap extracting process), which is sent to the print engine in the main body printer via the CIC (copier interface card) in the print controller and the VIC (video interface card) installed in the main body printer to print.
Even while the main body printer is printing the previous print job data or receiving the print data, the print controller can receive the next command for printing from an application.
The printing system can continuously print Letter/A4-size paper at the maximum print speed of 65 ppm (400 dpi) or 55 ppm (600 dpi).
In addition, this system supports the duplex function and the finisher function which enables the use of seven paper trays, stapling, folding and stitching.
1-2 Print Controller INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Chapter 1 Overview
Copy Mode and Printer Mode
The control panel of the main body printer can be used in either the copy mode or the printer mode.
Even while the main body printer is printing or copying, the print controller can receive the next job, and while the print controller is receiving a print job, you can use the copy mode.
E-RDH (Electronic Recirculating Document Handler)
The E-RDH system temporarily stores in memory the print data you select from available options. The main body printer E-RDH is used to print from the print controller.
The E-RDH memory is 32 MB (standard) and can be extended to 128 MB.
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 E-RDH memory, the print controller continues to rasterize the next print job in the se­quence.

The optional network interface card is used to connect to the Ethernet. This card is the internal network interface card which supports multiple protocols on the Ethernet. This card includes a CPU and flash memory with an upgradable pro­gram.
The network interface card supports the following network protocols.
IPX/SPX (NetWare, Peer to Peer)
TCP/IP (LPD/LPR, Peer to Peer)
AppleTalk (EtherTalk)
Refer to the corresponding operating manual for how to use the network interface card.
Do not use the parallel port with the Ethernet interface. Otherwise, a system error may occur.
Use the Konica engine interface only to connect the print controller and the main body printer. Otherwise, a system error may occur.

Printer Driver

The print controller works according to the condition of the printer driver.
The printer driver can be used on the following OS:
Windows 95
Windows 98
Windows Me
Windows NT 4.0
Windows 2000
Refer to “Chapter 2 Printer Driver Setup” (p. 2-1) for information on setting up the printer.
Refer to Chapter 3 Printer Driver Functions” (p. 3-1) for detailed functions of the printer driver.

Page Description Language

PDL (page description language) controls the transfer of information from the com­puter to the print controller.
PCL5e comes as the PDL with the print controller.
Print Controller INSTRUCTION MANUAL 1-7
Chapter 1 Overview

Memory

Most of the print controller memory is used for rasterizing images (bitmap extracting process), font cache, form overlay or other functions. Only a small part of it is used for system operation.
The basic memory setting of the print controller is 64 MB. The memory of the print controller can be expanded to 256 MB maximum.
The more memory in the print controller, the more pages that can be rasterized while waiting for the previous job to print. When Letter/A4 size paper is used, approximately 4,345 KB memory is required to print 1 bit data in 600 dpi.
In addition, the E-RDH memory in the main body printer is used for the print process, which can be expanded to 128 MB maximum.
For printouts using such features as multiple copies, booklet mode and wait mode, all data about the entire set of pages rasterized by the print controller (one job) must be first stored in the E-RDH memory.
Therefore, there are occasions when attempting to produce a very large number of pages using those features does not lead to the correct printouts.
If this occurs installing additional E-RDH memory in the main body printer (copier) is recommended.
Upgrading Memory
To obtain optimum printer performance, memory expansion is recommended.
Contact the nearest Konica service representative for details.

Properties

You have two ways of selecting or changing settings through the printer driver.
(1) The first way is by going through [Start] - [Settings] - [Printers] - [Konica IP-
304 PCL] (or [Konica IP-304(7060) PCL]) - [Properties].
Alternatively, you can select [Control Panel] - [Printers].
(2) The second way is to use applications to make settings each time you need
to produce printouts.
In advance, check to select sure of [Printer Name] by selecting [File] - [Print] ­[Print Dialog] on the application in use.
Settings made in the first way are effective when producing printouts, whatever the application.
Settings made in the second way are effective only when the corresponding applica­tion is running. When launching the application the next time, settings made by going though [Start] - [Settings] - [Printers] are applied.
Some interfaces to tabs and other options are displayed differently by the OSs.
Also, among the tabs there are some that are not shown depending on settings.
Incidentally, “Konica IP-304 PCL” ( or “Konica IP-304(7060) PCL”) is the default printer name.
A different name may occasionally be given to the printer icon depending on the system configurations or settings.
Refer to Chapter 4 Control Panel Setup” (p. 4-1) for information on selecting printer settings from the control panel of the main body printer.
