1-1. What is the Print Controller?

Role of the Print Controller

The printer controller is embedded into the KONICA MINOLTA 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.

1-1. What is the Print Controller?

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 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.

z For details on memory, refer to [21-5. Options] ( Page 466)

 Functions used with the copier can also 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 password. It is possible to reject users without passwords and users who have reached a preset copy or print limit.

z For details, refer to [ Chapter 5 Print Count Management (Printer EKC/ECM)].

( Page 295)

 The print controller can be used as a fax and printer.

The print controller can be used to send faxes directly from the PC.

z For details on the fax functions, refer to [ Chapter 7 Fax Functions (PC-Fax)].

1-1. What is the Print Controller?

Four 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.

[Mode switch] button

 Copy mode

This uses the printer main unit as a copier.

 Fax mode

This uses the printer main unit as a fax machine.

 Scanner mode

This uses the copier as a scanner.

z For details on the scanner, refer to the copier user’s manual [Network Setup and Scanner Operations].

 Printer mode

This mode is used for setting the printing system and for outputting lists, confidential documents, etc.

7 I Set Up Chapter 1 Summary

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 make copies. When a print job or fax is received during copying, the data is stored in the copier’s E-RDH memory. When the copying ends, the output resumes automatically.

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 copier then 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 by the print controller (the characters and images to the output are developed into bitmap data). This data is printed from the copier. When printing with a password, first save the data on copier
