■Overview of the Print Controller

●Print Controller and Main Body Printer

The print controller is designed to be used as the built-in type server of the main body printer/copier.

The print controller can be used to connect the main body printer to computers or to a network on which the main body printer can function as a printer/network printer from applications on Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000. The internal network interface card is required for connecting to a network.

Printing System

Copier

For use as a network printer

Print Controller

For use as a local printer

When the command for printing is executed from an application on Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000, print data is sent to the print controller by way of a parallel interface (IEEE 1284) or a network.

The interpreter inside the print controller rasterizes the print data to image data (bitmap extracting pro cess), which is sent to the print engine in the main body printer via the VIC (video interface card) installed in the main body printer to print.

The print engine in the main body printer receives image data through the PCI bus from the video inter face card.

Even while the main body printer is printing the previous print job data or receiving the print data, the print controller can receive the next command for printing from an application.

The printing system can continuously print Letter/A4-size paper at the maximum print speed of 65 ppm (400 dpi/600 dpi).

In addition, this system supports the duplex function and the finisher function which enables the use of five paper trays, stapling, folding and stitching, punching.

1-2

Chapter 1 Overview

HOME

Copy Mode, Printer Mode and Scanner Mode

The control panel of the main body printer can be used in any mode of the copy mode, the printer mode or the scanner mode.

Even while the main body printer is printing or copying, the print controller can receive the next job, and while the print controller is receiving (or transmitting) a print job or a scan job, you can use the copy mode.

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.

E-RDH (Electronic Recirculating Document Handler)

The E-RDH system temporarily stores in memory the print data you select from avail able options. The main body printer E-RDH is used to print from the print controller.

The E-RDH memory is 64 MB (standard) and can be extended to 192 MB.

When using the E-RDH in the one-sided mode, printing will be performed simulta neously 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.

Basic Configuration

Configuration of the print controller is as follows:

• Architecture: IBM Compatible PC System

• Processor: Intel Celeron 566 MHz

• Memory: 64 MB standard / 192 MB max. (Optional)

• Hard Drive: IDE compatible 2.0 GB min.

●Interface

Do not use the parallel port with the Ethernet interface. Otherwise, a system error may occur.

Ethernet

100BaseTX and 10BaseT

The network interface card is used to connect to the Ethernet. This card is the internal network interface card which supports multiple protocols on the Ethernet. This card includes a CPU and flash memory with an upgradable program.

The network interface card supports the following network protocols.

• IPX/SPX (NetWare, Peer to Peer)

• TCP/IP (LPD/LPR, Peer to Peer)

• AppleTalk (EtherTalk)

For guidance in configuring the settings for networks, refer to "Network Setup" in your INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

Do not use the parallel port with the Ethernet interface. Otherwise, a system errors will occur.

●Printer Driver

The print controller works according to the condition of the printer driver.

The printer driver can be used on the following OS:

• Windows 95

• Windows 98

• Windows Me

• Windows NT4.0

• Windows 2000

Refer to "Chapter 2 Printer Driver Setup" for instructions regarding printer set up.

(p.2-1)

Refer to "Chapter 3 Printer Driver Functions" for detailed functions of the printer driver.

(p.3-1)

●Page Description Language

PDL (Page Description Language) controls the transfer of information from the computer to the print con troller.

"PCL5e" comes as the PDL with the print controller.

1-6

Chapter 1 Overview

HOME

●Memory

Most of the print controller memory is used for rasterizing images (bitmap extracting process), font cache, form overlay or other functions. Only a small part of the memory is used for system operation.

The basic memory setting of the print controller is 64 MB. The memory of the print controller can be expanded to 192 MB maximum.

The more memory in the print controller, the more pages that can be rasterized while waiting for the previ ous job to print. When Letter/A4 size paper is used, approximately 4,345 KB memory is required to print 1 bit data in 600 dpi.

In addition, the E-RDH memory in the main body printer is used for the print process, which can be expanded to 192 MB maximum.

For printouts using features such as multiple copies, booklet mode and wait mode, all data about the entire set of pages rasterized by the print controller (one job) must be stored in the E-RDH memory first.

Therefore, there are occasions when attempting to produce a large number of pages using those features will not procedure the correct printouts.

If this occurs, installing additional E-RDH memory in the main body printer (copier) is recommended.

Memory Overflow

Depending on the functions selected in the printer driver, occasional memory overflow may occur if the volume of the print job is too large. In this case the print job is cancelled.

e.g., Booklet, Fold &Stitch, 2 in 1, etc.

In case of frequent memory overflow, extending the memory capacity of the main body printer (copier) is recommended.

Upgrading Memory

To obtain optimum printer performance, memory expansion is recommended.

Contact the nearest Konica service representative for details.

■Installation of the Printer Driver

To use the printing system, it is necessary to connect it to computers by way of the parallel interface or Ethernet interface and install the printer driver.

The Printer driver is the program for the print controller which expands the OS functions to control the I/O of the printing system.

●Before Installation

Models and Environment of Computers

The printing system can be used with Windows-compliant computers.

The print controller includes the printer driver for Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000.

The printer driver can be installed to computer models as long as Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000 has been installed on them to use the printing system.

Please keep the "User Software CD" on hand since it is required to install the printer driver.

When installing the printer driver, a screen may appear that asks the user to select whether the printer driver file (file to be copied) or a new file that exists in the computer is to be used. If this screen appears, select use of a new file that already exists in the computer. If a new file is not used, the OS may not start up properly the next time the OS is started up.

When an old printer driver is installed, make sure to uninstall the printer driver before installing the new printer driver. Refer to "Uninstalling the Printer Driver" for instruction regarding uninstalling the printer driver.
