■ Overview of the PostScript 3 option
The Konica IP-431+PS-342 is the Print Controller used to connect the Konica
7045 Printer/Copier to computers or to a network on which the Konica 7045 can
function as a PostScript 3 printer from applications on Windows 95/98/NT 4.0/
2000 or Macintosh. The optional Konica KN-303 Network Interface Card is required for connecting to a network.
The Konica IP-431+PS-342 is a print system with support for Adobe PostScript 3,
as well as PCL, a standard printer language. This system automatically identifies
either type of print file and carries out print jobs properly using fonts made
available on the hard disk.
● Hardware Configuration
