1-1. What is the Print Controller?
Role of the print controller
The printer controller is embedded into the Konica copier, turning it into a network-capable printing system.
You can print and send faxes from applications on the PC connected to the printing system. When using the
copier as a network printer, the print controller is used and you can print and send faxes from applications on
the PC.

What you can do with the print controller
The print c ontroller has the follo wing functions.
It can receive pri nt commands during printing.
Even while the print controller is printing or receiving data from one PC, it can receive print commands
from another.
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 E-RDH memory is 64 MB, which can hold about 360 pages of A4-size documents. The
memory can be expanded to up to 320 MB.
MEMO
z For details on memory, refer to [14-3. Options] ( Page 130)
4 I Set Up Chapter 1 Summary
1-1. What is the Print Controller?
Fu nctions used with the co pier can al so be utilized from the PC.
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
passwor d. It is possible to reject users without passwords an d users who have reached a preset copy
or print limit.
MEMO
z Fo r de tails, [Please ask your a dmi nis trator].
The print controller can be used as a fax and printer.
The print controller can be used to send faxes directly from the PC.

Four Modes
The printer driver settings are pr imarily made fr om the PC, but the font list printing, co ntroller 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.

This mode is used for setting the printing system and for outputting lists, confidential documents, etc.
1-2. Flow of Processing
The general flow of processing for using this printing system as a printer 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.
To use this system as a copier, press the [Mode switch] button the control panel and light up [Copy].
To use the copier if it is receiving a fax or functioning as a printer, pressing the [Mode switch] button lets you
mak e co pies .
When a print job or fax is received during copying, the data is st ored in the copier ’s 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.

1-2. Flow of Processing
Flow for printing
Print commands sent from the application are received by the printer driver.
When this print ing system is used as a loca l printer, data is sent to the copier then to the print controller through
the parallel in terface (IEEE1284) and when it is used as a network printer, the data is se nt through the ethernet
(TCP/IP, IPX/ SPX). Image rasterizing processing is executed by the print controller (the cha racters and images
to the output a re developed into bitmap data). This data is printed from the copier.
