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.
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)
2
Note
In order to use the fax functions, the optional fax kit is required.

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.
Original documents can be scanned in the copy function or network scan function while this machine is operating as a printer. To use the copy functions, press the [Copy] key on the control panel.
When a print job is received during copying, the data is stored in the memory of this machine. When the copying is completed, the print job is automatically printed.
