■ Overview of the PostScript 3 option

● Printing System

The printing system is designed to be used as the built-in type server of the

copier.

The printing system can be used to connect the copier to computers or to a net-

work on which the copier can function as a printer/network printer from applica-

tions on Windows 95/98/Me. The optional network interface card is required for

connecting to a network.

Chapter 1 Overview

Macintosh systems do not suport the

Konica PS Driver

.

● Hardware Configuration

Basic Configuration

Configuration of the PostScript option is as follows:

• Program Memory: Flash ROM (Compact Flash)

• System memory: 64 MB minimum

(standard memory+MU-403 of 32 MB)/

160 MB maximum

(standard memory+MU-405 of 128 MB)

• Hard disk: HD-103

• Network Interface Card: KN-303

(It is necessary when Macintosh is in use)

● Memory Use

Most of the printing system memory is used for rasterizing images. Only a small

part of it is used for system operation. The E-RDH memory of the copier is used

for print processing.

The basic memory setting of the PS option is 64 MB, which allows 1 bit mode

(600 dpi) printing for all sizes of paper. The memory of the PS option can be

expanded to 160 MB maximum.

Memory Upgrading

To obtain optimum printer performance, expand memory.

Contact the nearest Konica service representative for details.

● How to Use the Hard Disk

The hard disk prepares itself for fonts used for printout.
