What you can do with the print controller
The print controller has the following functions.
It can receive print commands during printing.
Even while the print controller is printing or receiving data from another PC, it can receive print commands from your application.
This printing system stores data temporarily in the copier's memory and uses the Electronic Recirculating Document Handler (E-RDH) to handle the printing.
The standard memory is 32 MB, which can hold about 180 pages of A4-size documents. The memory
can be expanded to up to 160 MB.
MEMO
z For details on memory, refer to [14-3. Options] ( Page 184)
Functions used with the copier can also be utilized.
Even when using the copier as a printer, duplex printing and paper tray selection can be executed the
same as when the unit is used as a copier. Also, stapling and other such functions can be selected if
the optional finisher is installed.
Managing the number of sheets printed (printer EKC/ECM)
If the [Printer EKC/ECM] function is set, the number of sheets printed for each user can be managed by
password. It is possible to reject users without passwords and users who have printed all of their preset
combination.
MEMO
z For details, [Please ask your administrator].
The print controller can also be used as a fax and scanner, in addition to use as a printer.
The print controller network controller can be used to send and receive faxes directly from/to the PC.
When the print controller is used as a scanner, scanned pictures can be imported into other applications.

1-1. What is the print controller?
Three Modes
The printer driver settings are primarily made from the PC, but the font list printing, controller settings, and
default settings for printing can be set with the copier control panel. Also, with the print controller, the copier
can be used as a copier or scanner by changing the mode.
The mode is switched with the [Mode switch] button on the copier control panel.

Scanner/printer mode
This mode is used for setting the printing system and for outputting lists, confidential documents, etc.
You can scan a document into the computer and send it as e-mail.

1-2. Flow of processing
The general flow of processing for using this printing system as a printer, fax, and scanner is as follows.
Copy mode
This printing system can be used as a printer, fax, and scanner and of course, it can also be used as a copier.
When you want to use this system as a copier, press the [Mode switch] button the control panel and light up
[Copy].
When you want to use the copier, if it is receiving a fax or functioning as a printer, pressing the [Mode switch]
button lets you make copies.
When a print job or fax is received during copying, the data is stored in the copierís E-RDH memory. When
the copying ends, the output resumes automatically.
MEMO
z Whether the output is immediate or is scheduled as the next job depends on the copier status.
Flow for printing
Print commands sent from the application are received by the printer driver.
When this printing system is used as a local printer, data is sent to the print controller through the parallel interface (IEEE1284) and when it is used as a network printer, the data is sent through the ethernet (TCP/IP, IPX/
SPX). Image rasterizing processing is executed (the characters and images to the output are developed into
bitmap data). This data is printed from the copier.

Fax transmission
The transmission command sent from the application is received by the printer driver.
When this printing system is used as a local printer, data is sent to the print controller through the parallel interface (IEEE1284) and when it is used as a network printer, the data is sent through the ethernet
(TCP/IP, IPX/SPX). Image rasterizing processing is executed (the characters and images to the output
are developed into bitmap data). This data is stored in the copier’s E-RDH memory is transmitted by fax
as a normal fax job.

Fax reception
The received fax data is stored in the copier’s E-RDH memory and output.
When receiving with the computer, the data can be stored from the E-RDH memory to the print controller’s hard disk and imported into the computer via the Ethernet in the same manner as for scan data.

1-3. Operation environment
This section explains the system requirements to use this printing system and the interfaces that can be used
for connection.
PCs and OSs that can be connected
Windows
Operating system: Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP
Memory: 32 MB min.
CD-ROM drive
Macintosh
Can only be used if the PostScript option is installed.
Operating system: Mac OS 8.x or higher (Mac OS X is not supported.)
CD-ROM drive
Network controller
Interfaces used for connection
The following two types of interfaces can be used to connect the print controller and the PC.
Parallel interface (IEEE1284)
This interface is used when using this printing system as a local printer.
Only Windows PCs can be connected through this interface and an IEEE1284 parallel cable is
required. Use a parallel cable that has an Amphenol 36-pin male connector at one end.
Ethernet
This interface is used when using this printing system as a network printer.
This interface supports the 100Base-TX and 10Base-T standards. The protocols supported are TCP/IP
(LPD/LPR, Peer-to-Peer), IPX/SPX (NetWare), and AppleTalk (EtherTalk), etc..
Important
● Do not connect both the parallel interface and the Ethernet interface to the PC at the same time. This
causes a system error.
