■ Introduction
The IP-431 is a print controller designed to be housed in the Konica 7045 Copier/Printer, and work as
a network printer when a KN-303 network interface card is additionally used. By using the Printer
EKC feature you can manage the number of prints on the copier.
An optional hard disk, HD-103, is available for the IP-431 Print Controller. By installing this hard disk,
the copier can be used as a network scanner. You can save image data scanned by the copier to the
Print Controller’s hard disk and read the saved data into TWAIN-compliant applications such as Adobe
Photoshop LE.
Installation of a hard disk makes it possible to use a Password Print feature. This feature prohibits a
print job from being carried out unless a user ID and password are entered on the copier; it is useful
for protecting sensitive information.
The copier/printer engine, and the optional network card include operating manuals (Konica 7045
INSTRUCTION MANUAL/KN-303 INSTRUCTION MANUAL (CD)) respectively.
For detailed operations of Windows95/98, refer to operating manuals of each operating system. For
operations of applications, refer to user’s manuals included with each application.

1-2 Print Controller INSTRUCTION MANUAL
■ Overview of the Print Controller
● Print Controller and Printer Engine
The print controller enables the copier connected to a computer or network to print from applications on Windows 95/98/Me or NT4.0/2000. To connect to a network, the optional network
interface card is required.
When the command for printing is executed from applications on Windows 95/98/Me or NT4.0/
2000, print data is sent to the print controller by way of a parallel cable (IEEE 1284) or a network. Then, the print controller rasterizes the print data to image data, which is sent to the
Printer Engine by way of the PCI bus.
The print controller can receive the command for printing from applications even while the
Printer Engine is printing the previous print jobs or receiving data.
The printing system can continuously print Letter/A4-size paper at a print speed of 45 ppm. In
addition, this system supports the duplex function and the finisher function which enables using
four paper trays, alternate printing and stapling.

E-RDH (Electronic Recirculating Document Handler)
The E-RDH is a system which temporarily saves print data in the memory of the copier to
enable printing in accordance with the selected option. To print from the print controller, the ERDH of the copier is used. The E-RDH memory of the copier is 32 MB (standard) and can be
extended to 288 MB maximum.
The E-RDH is used in the 1 bit mode. Data of approximately 180 pages of A4-size paper can be
saved in the 32 MB (standard) E-RDH memory.
Print Controller INSTRUCTION MANUAL 1-3
Chapter 1 Overview
Copy Mode, Printer and Scanner Mode
Every mode of the copier operation panel can be used.
Even while the copier is printing or copying, the print controller can receive the next job, and
while the print controller is receiving a print job, you can perform copying.
Network Scanner
By installing the optional network interface card and hard disk on the print controller, image
data scanned by the copier is stored to the print controller’s hard disk and read into TWAINcompliant applications via a network. It can be also modified by this application.
Printer EKC
Printer EKC is a feature to manage the number of prints on the copier.
Setting the Printer EKC feature means that, provided you enter a password previously established on the printer to request a print job, the copier counts up printouts based on the EKC
counter to know when a preset limit is hit, and also rejects a print request from a client having
no valid password.
● Print Controller Hardware Configuration

Print Controller INSTRUCTION MANUAL 1-5
Chapter 1 Overview
● How to Use Memory
Most print controller memory is used for rasterizing images and the functions of cache and overlay,
only a small part of memory is used for system operation. In addition, the copier’s E-RDH memory is
used for print processing.
The basic memory setting of the print controller is 32 MB, which allows 1 bit mode (600 dpi) printing
for all paper sizes. The print controller memory can be expanded to 160 MB maximum. In addition, the
copier E-RDH can be expanded to 288 MB maximum.
The more memory included in the print controller, the more pages that can be rasterized while waiting
for printing of the previous job. When A4-size paper is used, approximately 4,345 KB memory is
required to print 1 bit data in 600dpi.
If you have a very complex page in a print job or if you frequently need to print out data on A3 or larger
size paper, memory errors may occasionally occur depending on the print controller’s memory size
available for rasterization (bitmap extracting process). In this case, it is recommended that you extend
the print controller’s memory.
When printing out data using Duplex print, Staple print or other advanced features, you need data of
the whole job rasterized by the print controller and stored in E-RDH memory. Therefore, when printing
a document with a very large number of pages, the data may be not print out according to the printing
features specified . To solve this problem, it is recommended that you expand the print engine’s
(copier’s) memory (E-RDH memory).
Memory Upgrading
To obtain optimum printer performance, memory expansion is recommended.
Contact your service representative for details.

The settings made in the second way are effective only when the application for which they have been
made is running. When launching the application again, the settings made by going through [Control
Panel]-[Printers] are applied.
The display windows shown in this manual are those available with Windows95/98. They vary according to the OS in use. As well, among the tabs, there are some that are not displayed depending on
settings.
You can make the settings of the printer from applications with the exception of the settings on [General],
[Details], [Color management] and [Sharing] tabs in the [Konica IP-431 PCL] properties. For guidance
in setting the printer from applications, refer to “Chapter 2 Setup”(page 2-1).

When the virtual printer port is specified on the [End Capture] dialog shown by clicking [Details]
tab-[End Capture] button, you can delete a network printer allocated as a virtual printer port.
Timeout settings
By using [Details] tab-[Timeout Settings], the timeout value is set.

The [Not Selected] box indicates the number it will take in seconds for a printer to become
available for printing, from the time the computer starts outputting print data. If the waiting time
exceeds the value set, a printer error is shown and the job is automatically cancelled.
Transmission retry
The [Transmission retry] box is used to set the amount of time in seconds until a printer is to
become available for printing and allow a computer that failed to output once to output the print
data again. If the waiting time exceeds the set value, a printer error is shown and the job is
automatically cancelled.
Spool settings

When [Start printing after last page is spooled] is selected, it is possible to edit other
documents and start up other applications while printing, since print data is sent to a
printer after the printing process of applications has been completed.
When [Start printing after first page is spooled] is selected, print data is spooled page by
page and sent to a printer. Although this takes more time for an application to be released
from the printing process, this method is suitable in the event that free space for spooling
in your hard disk is small.

■ Brief Description of the Network Scanner
Original document images scanned into the E-RDH memory from the copier’s RADF or platen glass
are stored on the print controller's hard disk as a TIFF file. During scanning preparation, you can set
such things as enhancement, magnification, resolution, dual page copying, non-image area erasure,
etc.
To scan documents, you must first specify a 4-digit box number on the control panel. This box number
is handled like a folder on the controller's hard disk. The saved file can be read into TWAIN-capable
Windows applications through the network for editing/storage. This process also requires a box number.
Data scanned into the controller's hard disk can be cleared only from computers on the network.

Chapter 6 Printer EKC
■ Overview of the Printer EKC
Printer EKC is a feature use to manage the number of prints on the copier.
Setting the Printer EKC feature means that, provided you enter a password previously established on
the printer to request a print job, the copier counts up printouts based on the EKC counter to know
when a preset limit is hit, and also rejects a print request from a client having no valid password.
● Setting of Printer EKC
A password for Printer EKC and its counter are set in the copier’s key operator settings. For guidance
in setting Printer EKC, refer to the copier INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
A password for Printer EKC has need to be the same as User ID to enter at printing out
time.
● Printing with Printer EKC
If Printer EKC has been set as appropriate, perform the following steps to get an output.
1. Select the [Paper] tab in the printer driver properties window, and click the [Settings]
key.
[Password Print Settings] dialog will appear.
2. Type in the user ID set up in Printer EKC into the User ID text box.
You must enter the same password (5 digits or less) in the User ID text box that you set
up on the copier for Printer EKC.
If you do not enter the correct password or if you leave the User ID text box blank, the
print job is not performed and is registered as Unsuccessful jobs. When in doubt about
the password for Printer EKC, ask your system administrator.
3. Click [OK] to close the Properties and start the printing process.
● Loading EKC Counter’s Value into PC
By using a software named Konica VISUALCOUNT-MASTER, the Printer EKC feature allows you to
upload the EKC counter’s value from the copier to the print controller to load into your computer.
For how to load the EKC counter’s value into a computer, refer to the INSTRUCTION MANUAL for
Konica VISUALCOUNT-MASTER.
For details on Konica VISUALCOUNT-MASTER, contact your service representative.

Chapter 6 Printer EKC
● EKC Limit
If you try to exceed the limit previously set in Printer EKC, the following will occur depending on the
settings of Printer EKC.
When in doubt about the Printer EKC settings, ask your system administrator.
When a print job is transmitted after reaching a limit:
• A message will appear indicating that the EKC counter reached a preset limit, but the printing
process is brought about normally and the EKC counter increments as if nothing happened.
• No output is produced and the job is registered on the Unsuccessful jobs list.
If the EKC counter hits a preset limit in the process of getting an output:
• A message will appear indicating that the EKC counter reached a preset limit, but the printing
process is brought about normally and the EKC counter increments as if nothing happened.
• After the current print job is completed, no additional jobs are accepted. If you try to transmit
the next print job, it is deleted and registered on the Unsuccessful jobs list.
• The print job instantly stops, causing the already fed paper to be output. The job is registered
on the Unsuccessful jobs list.
A print job deleted by the Printer EKC feature is registered on the Unsuccessful jobs list.
For information on checking the Unsuccessful jobs list screen, refer to “ Appendix A
Troubleshooting ”.
