PCR38
INTRODUCTION
The PCR38 is a revolutionary product aimed at the general office market, which will give us
the opportunity to satisfy our customers’ varying needs and create a new market segment for
this true mono/colour combination (Hybrid) product.
The PCR38 has been designed as:
• A high performance office network printer that prints at 38ppm in mono and 28ppm
in colour.
• A high quality network printer capable of 1200dpi resolution.
• A versatile and powerful printer with options that include large capacity trays, a
finisher with stapling and punching capabilities, duplex and, early in 2002, optional
copy/scanner/fax units.
The PCR38 can be targeted at either a mono or colour environment and its price positioning
will make it possible to introduce colour into environments where price has caused a
resistance to colour sales in the past.
As a high speed, 38ppm, mono printer with extensive finishing capabilities and a high level
of productivity, we will have a product that will be extremely competitive in this growing
market.
As a high speed, 28ppm, full colour printer, also with extensive finishing capabilities and a
print speed of more than double the accepted speed for the general office, the PCR38 will
astound your customers.
When you combine these qualities into one unit, as has been done with the PCR38, you have
a unique product that will create great demand and generate revenue, as well as assist our
brand in becoming recognized as a printer manufacturer.
Please note :
The PCR38 will be launched as a printer only.
When the optional copy/scanner/fax units are available ± 6 months after launch, the
printer will then be manufactured with the required mounting points and interface
boards. These units will not be attachable to the printers manufactured and in the field
prior to the launch of the optional units.

Versatile and Powerful Options
The PCR38 enables the users to do complete finishing of their jobs thanks to the many input
and output options listed below:
(1) Input Paper Options
There are three types of input paper options, a 2000 sheets LCT, 1 x 500 sheet paper
tray and 2 x 500 sheet paper trays.
Standard input paper capacity is 1,100 sheets (2 trays x 500 sheets and 1 x 100 sheet
multi bypass tray).
If the 2000 LCT is installed, the maximum input capacity is 3,100 sheets.
(2) Output Paper Options
There are two options for handling the paper output, a 4 bin mailbox and a 2000
sheet finisher.
Standard output paper capacity is 600 sheets (1 x 500 sheet f ace down tray and 1 x
100 sheet fac e up tray)
If the 2000 sheet finisher with high capacity mode (2500 sheets) is installed, the
maximum output capacity is 3,100 sheets.
(3) Auto Duplex option
The PCR38 has a continuous duplex speed (100% productivity) that is the fastest
among mid -range network printer s for workgroup s.
(4) Controller options
Standard Memory is 64MB. Maximum memory is 384MB (256MB & 128MB).
There is only one additional slot so standard memory has to be removed when
upgrading to higher than 288MB.
(5) Scanner options
The PCR38 supports a scanner unit, which is capable of Copy/Fax/Scanner functions.
This is due for release in early 2002.
As the PCR38 is designed for an advanced office environment, the Ethernet interface
board is standard. In addition, you can add optional IEEE1394 HDD (standard
IEEE1284) and memory to increase productivity.

When the paper runs out in the current tray while printing is in
progress, the printer searches for another tray that contains the
same size, orientation and media type of paper and switches to
that tray automatically.
Paper Runs out: Yes
When the paper runs out in the current tray, while printing
is in progress, the printer automatically searches for another
tray that contains the same size and orientation of paper. If
there is no tray with the specified paper, the “Load (Paper Size)
(Tray No.)” message appears on the LCD of the printer
operation panel. If the specified paper is loaded in the specified
tray, the printer re-starts the printing automatically.

IEEE1394:
PCR38
Outline:
IEEE1394 is one of the industry standards, which was authorised as IEEE13941995 by IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) in 1995. This
interface is expected to be used for sending large-capacity data, such as
multimedia data, at high speed. Digital Video Camera is one of the popular
products having this interface. Recently, the interface is equipped with many
PCs as standard, and also many “IEEE1394 expansion card” for PCs are
available in the market.
Features:
IEEE1394 provides High Speed data transmission at 100Mbps, 200Mbps and
400Mbps. It offers much faster speed than USB (Universal Serial Bus ), which
has 1.5Mbps and 12Mbps mode.
Connecting Cable & Connector:
The IEEE1394 cable is simple and flexible , like a USB cable. There are 2 types
of IEEE1394 cables in the market. One has “6 wires” with a 6-pin connector,
and the other has “4 wires” with a 4-pin connector.
Picture 1, over the page, shows the cable structure of the “6 wire” cable. The
diameter is 5.5mm.
The “4 wire” cable is used for digital videos and digital cameras etc. The
diameter is 4mm.

Network Style – Topology
There are two ways to configurean IEEE1394 network : “Daisy Chain” and “Node
Branch”.
The Daisy Chain style allows users to connect a maximum of 16 nodes (machines
which have a 1394 port), and the maximum cable length is 4.5m (between each
device).
Node branch style allows users to connect a maximum of 63 nodes (physically
possible node addresses). [See Picture 3] As Hot-plug-in is available , users can
connect & pull out the cables while the machine is working.

Note 1:Printing feature through IEEE1394 I/F is available only with PCs with
Windows 2000 installed .
Note 2:Recent PCs and IEEE1394 Expansion cards for PCs have a couple of
IEEE1394 ports. The connection types depend on the number of IEEE1394
ports on each device.
Note 3: IEEE1394 Expansion cards for PCs must support Windows 2000.
Note 4: In case of using 6-pin to 4-pin cable, IEEE does not recommend that a device
of 4-pin side connects with other devices.

Note: IEEE1394 Interface does not include IEEE1394 cables and customers need to prepare
it. (There are two types of ports in IEEE1394 Standard, 4-pin and 6-pin, the
IEEE1394 option for the PCR38 has “6-pin” ports. Therefore, the cable must have a
“6-pin” connector to connect to the PCR38)
