Section 1: The Print Controller
The Print Controller
Introduction
The print controller interfaces directly with your Konica printer main body,
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, p rovided the
print job follows specific industry standard conventions for detecting the
beginning and end of each job.
Basically, print controller 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 print controller is 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 print controller is
PowerPage2 from Pipeline Associates, Inc. This is a Le vel 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 the 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.

The Print Controller
System Configuration
Your Konica print controller is based on an IBM compatible PC system that
includes the following:
Intel Pentium Celeron 333
Motherboard
PCI
ISA bus slots
Standard168 pin DIMM memory
IDE Hard Disk
3.5" floppy disk
VGA V ideo Card
A keyboard or monitor may be used for diagnostic functions of the print
controller.
The Copier Interface Card (CIC) of the print controller acts as a bridge between
the Motherboard and the Engine Interface Card (EIC) installed in the print
engine.
The CIC board contains a Motorola 68331 CPU and custom hardware and
software for communicating with and controlling the print engine. The CIC card
can be reprogrammed in the field via floppy disk, or through the network.

Memory Configuration
Most of the print controller memory 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 to 512 MB in 32/64/128 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 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 used for 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
(PCL/PS)
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 the Konica National Technical Support Center,
at 1(800) 825-5664.

Installing Printer Drivers
Windows 3.x
The Printer Drivers that come with the IP-402 Print Controller are actually
software programs that enable you to control all the 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.
Installing Printer Drivers is a simple procedure that includes the following:
• 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 (ex. Windows 3.x Printer Driver)
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.
7. Insert the disk containing the printer driver into your floppy drive, The
default for the Konica drivers is drive A. If you are using a different drive,
specify it. When the appropriate drive is selected, click on OK.
8. In the Add Unlisted or Updated Printer box, select the appropriate driver and
click on OK.
9. The printer name will appear in the list of installed printers.

Installing Printer Drivers
Windows 3.x
Assigning a Port
By default, LPT1 will be assigned to the newly installed printer.
1. To assign a different port, click on the Connect button.
2. In the Ports list, select the port you want to assign to the printer.
NOTE: When installing to a network, up to three LPT printers can be assigned (LPT1, LPT2, LPT3)
without having to add more through the WIN.INI file. Should it be necessary to add more than three
printers, click on the Help button in the Connect box for instructions.
Tip: If you print to LPT1 in Windows 3.x and LPT1 is redirected to another port,
the printer will not print. To correct this, select LPT1.DOS in the Connect dialog
box.
Specifying Printer Settings
This is an optional step for making changes to the default printer settings, such as
paper size or orientation. These settings can be temporarily overridden from
within your application.
1. Click on the Setup button in the Printers dialog box.
2. When the Setup box is displayed, make the desired selections.
Setting the Default Printer
When you install a printer, it will automatically be highlighted in the Printers
dialog box.
1. Highlight the printer you want as the default printer.
2. Click on the Set As Default Printer button.
NOTE: Some applications act as a control panel, making their settings become the system default.
This is not a function of the driver.

Checking the Version of A Printer Driver
Windows 3.x
There may be times when you need to know if you are using the most up-to-date
printer driver. Use the following procedure to check the version of a printer
driver.
1. Highlight the driver in the Printers dialog box.
2. Click on the Setup button.
3. Click on the About button.
4. The About dialog box will be displayed with the printer version shown.
