Overview of printer functions

2 Overview of printer functions

2.1 Printer controller

The printer controller is a device for performing printing functions and network printing functions with this machine.

2.1.1 Role of the printer controller

With the built-in printer controller, this machine works as a printing system, allowing printing from applications on the computer connected to the printing system. When using this machine as a network printer, you can print from applications on the computer.

Machine

Printing system

Printer controller

The printer controller provides the following functions:

- Printing data being sent from a printer driver on a computer

- Support of network protocols including TCP/IP (IPv4/IPv6), IPX/SPX, and AppleTalk

- Direct printing over a network using SMB (Windows), LPR, and IPP printing

- Access to settings for this machine and the printer controller from a client computer over the network

(using a Web browser)

- Control of the number of pages printed (the User Authentication and Account Track functions)

- Fax operations using a computer (PC-fax transmission)

Computer

Note

In order to use the fax functions, the optional fax kit is required.

Detail

For details on the PC-fax transmission, refer to the User manual – Network Scan/Fax/Network Fax Operations.

2.1.2 Printing flow

The following outlines the flow of operations for using this printing system as a printer.

The printer driver receives print commands from applications.

Data is transmitted to this machine over a USB interface when this machine is used via a USB connection, or over an Ethernet interface (TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, or AppleTalk) when this machine is used via an Ethernet connection. The data is then delivered from this machine to the printer controller, which performs image rasterization (development of output characters and images to bitmap data). Finally, this data is printed from this machine.
