■ 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.
