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. Please note that the network interface manual is provided separately for the
network administrator..
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, print controller language detection works as follows:
• To determine the language in which a job was created, the preprocessor checks the beginning of each job.
• When a specific language code is detected, the preprocessor switches to that language, 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 the 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 the job is
reached.
PCL 5E: The PCL 5E interpreter of the print controller is PowerPCL from Pipeline Associates, Inc.
PowerPCL 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 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 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.

Memory Configuration
Most of the print controller memory is used for rasterizing the image. A small portion (~2.7 MB) is used
for the system operation.
The basic print controller configuration includes 32 MB of RAM. Even with 16 MB, 1-bit mode printing at
400 dpi is available on all paper sizes. By replacing the standard 32 MB DIMM, the print controller may be
upgraded to 64 MB (standard) to allow 8.5"x11" grayscale printing; or 128 MB (optional) to allow 11"x17"
or A3 grayscale printing 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 E-RDH 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
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 Systems
Solutions Group at 1(800) 825-5664.

Installing Printer Drivers
Windows 3.x
The Printer Drivers that come with the IP-411 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.

Printer Drivers
Printing Modes
Real T ime Mode Pri n t
The print controller performs page printing and starts printing as soon as it starts receiving a print job. This
is different from document printing, where a printer starts printing only after receiving the entire print job.
Dual Access
The Dual Access function provides an efficient means for the printer to simultaneously handle different
types of printer/copier jobs. Dual Access capabilities are shown below:
• Scanning-Printing
• Printing - Copying
• Printing - Printing
• Copying- Copying
• Copying - Printing
The Electronic Recirculating Document Handler (E-RDH) allows the print engine to receive a job while it
is printing your scanned or stored documents.
The print engine controls and creates the messages on the operation panel screen. The operation panel
screen generates a Job Status screen, which is a copier type tab-based screen.
When you access printer setting values and parameters, the print controller will take over the control of the
operation panel screen.
Image Density Selection
Controlling the Print Density level provides an efficient way to save toner. You may select this function
directly from your print driver screen.
There are five distinct Print Density modes that can be used. Each mode is listed below, along with the
corresponding level of toner density used by the mode.
• Normal 100%
• Toner Save Mode 80%
• Draft Mode 60%

Tra y Selection/Paper Selection
The system selects the paper size and paper tray in the manner specified below.
When Paper Size is Not Specified
? When a print job does not specify paper size, the default paper size will be used.
When a Paper Tray is Specified
? When the print job specifies a tray, one of the following occurs:
(a) If the requested tray contains paper, the printer will use the requested tray.
(b) If the requested tray contains no paper, the printer will NOT look for another
tray that may contain the requested paper size.
NOTE: Make sure the tray you specify is supplied with the desired paper type and size.
A uto Tray Selection Mode
? If you request a paper size in the application screen, the printer will locate the paper source for
that paper size and print the job.
? If a paper size you requested in the application screen cannot be located, the system will prompt
you with a message on the control panel to request another paper size. In the event you are
prompted to request another paper size, you may do one of the following:
(a) Load the desired paper size in the manual tray or in tray 1 and continue printing.
(b) Select another paper size and print.
(c) Abort the job.

Font Selection
Standard fonts of the PostScript and PCL 5e languages are displayed on the following pages. The
PostScript fonts shown are the visual equivalent of the Adobe fonts with the same names.
A PostScript compatible file system is provided for storing downloaded fonts or other files. At this time,
PCL 5e does not support storing downloaded fonts on a hard drive.
Fonts that are downloaded with a print job are lost when the language changes or when the power is turned
off. PostScript fonts can be permanently installed on the hard drive. Refer to your software documentation
for font installation procedures.
Selecting Fonts from Application Software
Fonts can be selected through your application software after you have set up your hard disk with the
necessary printer files and font files. Refer to your application software documentation for details.
Selecting PCL 5 Fonts using Embedded Printer Commands
Some applications allow embedded commands to be entered in your file from within your document. When
an embedded printer command is entered, the printer performs a font search to match the certain font
characteristics, e.g., spacing, pitch, point size. Printer commands for PCL 5 are included in Section 5.
NOTES:
1. Temporary soft fonts that are downloaded for a specific document are deleted when the font printout is generated; and they do
not appear on the font printout.
2. Downloaded permanent soft fonts remain resident in the printer until they are replaced with other fonts or until the printer is
turned off .
3. PostScript fonts listed are the visual equivalent of Adobe font names and are not the actual Adobe fonts.

Font Characteristics
A font is described by its Symbol Set and font characteristics, such as, Typeface, Point Size, Pitch, Spacing,
Stroke Weight and Style.
Symbol Set: A Symbol Set relates to the unique set of all av ailable alphanumeric, punctuation, and special
symbols in a font. More than one Symbol Set can be used by one font, e.g., the math symbol set, legal
symbol set, and Roman-8 symbol set.
Typefaces: Times Roman abcdefABCDEF&%!Helv etica abcdefABCDEF 12345&%!
Typeface relates to the design of all the ch aracters and symbols that make up a font, including serif and
sans serif design. Times Roman displays the serif design, Helvetica displays the san serif design.
Point Size: 8 Point abcdefABCDEF12345&%! 12 Point abcdefABCDEF 12345&%!
Point size relates to font height, and is measured in points at 72 points per inch. Point size is fixed in a
bitmapped font, and variable in a scalable font.
Pitch: Courier 10 Point 12 Pitch Courier 12 Point 10 Pitch
Pitch relates to the number of characters per horizontal inch. Fonts have either fixed pitch or proportional
spacing. Proportional spacing means the number of characters per inch is variable. A 12 pitch font, for
example, prints 12 characters per horizontal inch.
Spacing: Fixed Spacing Courier 10 Proportional Spacing Times Roman 10
Spacing relates to the amount of space allotted to each character, as for [i] and [x]. In Fixed Spacing, each
character occupies either the same amount of space and is fixed. In Proportional Spacing, each character
space varies according to the width of the character and is proportional. Whether Fi xed or Proportional, the
specified amount of space allotted to characters is specified for the entire font.
Str oke W eight: Helvetica Narrow abcdefABCDEF12345&%! Helvetica Bold abcdefABCDEF12345&%!
Stroke weight relates to print thickness of each character and is measured in terms of light (as in Helvetica
Narrow), medium (as in Helvetica), and bold (as in Helvetica Bold).
Style:
Helvetica Ob lique abcdefABCDEF12345&%!
Style relates to posture (upright, italics), width (condensed, normal, expanded), and structure (outline,
solid, shadow).
