AR-PB2
Software on the PC side (Host: PC/AT, OS: Windows95/Windows
3.1)
Software on the PC/AT side is broadly divided into the following four parts.
• Application
Application refers to software that computer users work with mainly to create documents. Application software includes programs such as MS Word and MS Excel.
• GDI(Graphic Module)
GDI refers to graphic module in the Windows system. GDI module creates graphic data for each device (display monitor, printer, etc.) according to drawing request from the application. Graphic data created here is common in all Windows systems.
• Printer Driver
The printer driver converts graphic data created by a GDI driver into printer-dependent print data. The AR-PB2 supports the following three drivers: AR-PB2 customized PCL printer driver, customized PostScript printer driver, and Adobe PostScript printer driver (PPD file specific). The customized PCL printer driver creates PCL print data from graphic data, while the PostScript driver and Adobe PostScript printer driver (PPD file) create PS print data from graphic data.
• Print Spooler
Print spooler is a module for temporarily storing print data. It tem­porarily stores print data created by the printer driver on the HDD as a spool file, and sends print data to the designated port in the order in which the data is written onto the HDD.
Software(Firmware) in the Printer Controller
Software on the printer controller side is broadly divided into three parts.
• Emulation Analysis
Emulation analysis involves analyzing print data and creating a print image. The AR-PB2 is equipped with two emulations, PCL5e and PostScript Level2. Received data is analyzed using the emulation corresponding to print data and is generat ed into the print image. For example, PCL5e data, and PostScript data are respectively analyzed using PCL5e and Post­Script Level2 emulation modes.
• Various Managers
– Host I/O Manager
Host I/O Manager controls I/O that is connected to PC. Host I/O Manager supports automatic port selection mode and fixed port mode. In the automatic port selection mode, when data is trans­mitted to a certain port, that port is automatically selected and transmitted data is received through this port and processed. Data transmitted to a port that is not selected is also received and stored in the buffer, but will not be processed. Furthermore, auto­matic port selection mode consists of two modes. One mode resumes automatic port selection after a certain interval once data has been received (timeout); the other mode handles automatic port selection between jobs. In the fixed port mode, only data transmitted to the fixed port is received, and data transmitted to other ports is never received.
– Engine I/F Manager
Engine I/F Manager controls command communication with the print engine. The print image provided by Print Queue manager is printed and output via command communication with the print en­gine.
– PJL
PJL (Printer Job Language) is a module for analyzing PJL data. PJL functions as commands to specify various statuses of the print job. PJL has the following three features.
1) Specify an emulation to be used for analyzing print data.
2) Establish the setting to be specified on the front panel.
3) Capture the status of the printer.
– AUTO Switching
AUTO Switching is a module for automatically matching print data with its corresponding emulation based on data sensed when the emulation to be used is not specified by a PJL command. AR-PB2 respectively support PCL 5e and PostScript. AUTO Switching is enabled only when Auto is selected for the emulation setting and the emulation to use for print data is not specified by the PJL command at the beginning of a print job. In other words, AUTO Switching is not handled during a print job. Furthermore, when the emulation to be used is specified by the PJL command or when the fixed emulation mode is selected, Auto Switching is disabled.
– Print Queue Manager
Print Queue Manager is a module for providing necessary print images created by each emulation and for deleting unnecessary print images depending on the status of the print engine.
– Front Panel Control
Front Panel Control is a module for controlling the key operation and the monitor display on the front panel. This module controls the key operation and the monitor display in the printer setup menu. Other settings (e.g. copier setting) and device status monitor are controlled by the copier.
– Font Manager
Font Manager handles the resident fonts and the font types for download. When a resident font is specified, a font image is created based on resident font data. When a font is downloaded, a font image is created based on downloadable font data.
• Drivers
– 1284 Driver
The 1284 Driver controls data communication via 1284 port. This driver supports the P1284 Compatible mode and the Nibble Device ID mode, however, does not support the Nibble mode, ECP mode, and EPP mode.
– DPO Driver
The DPO Driver controls data communication via the DPO port for DPI NIC(HBM NIC) connection.
– SCSI-2 I/F Driver
The SCSI-2 I/F Driver controls data communication for SCSI-2 I/F that connects between the printer controller and the print engine. The printer controller serves as the initiator, while the print engine serves as the target. All data, including print image data, various setting commands and various information data needed for printing, are communicated between the printer controller and the print engine via this SCSI-2 I/F.
Print Engine
As a copier feature, the print engine includes electronic sorting (eRDH) so that it can support sort-output to the finisher. The reverse order feature for face-up delivery (printing feature) is also handled by this electronic sorting feature(eRDH). Additionally, as the electronic sorting feature (eRDH) handles page ordering for the booklet feature on the copier, the same feature on the printer is handled by the electronic sorting feature (eRDH).

In the automatic emulation sensing mode, for print data without the PJL command, the emulation is automatically switched either to Post­Script, PCL5e based on data sensed. In other words, automatic emulation sensing (switching) is available only between PostScript and PCL5e. For print data with the PJL command, the emulation is automatically switched to the specified one without sensing the data. When print data without the PJL command fails to be sensed, or when the print data is given the PJL command but the specified emulation is not present, the data is handled in the PCL emulation.
In the fixed emulation mode, for print data without the PJL command, the fixed emulation is used to handle the print data. Print data with the PJL command is switched to the specified emulation. When print data is given the PJL command but the specified emulation is not present, the data is processed by the default emulation.
The PJL Enter command specifies PostScript and PCL5e.

(2) Expansion memory installation
a. Memory expansion in the printer control PWB
Normally there is no need for memory expansion. However, memory expansion will increase the printer performance.
When printing graphics or complex data, memory expansion will increase printing speed.
Memory of 16MB or 32MB can be installed to the two slots. (16MB onboard) Different capacity of memory can be installed to the two slots. The total memory after expansion may be 32, 48, 64, or 80MB.
After the above procedure, select VM Option menu and set the total memory capacity.
b. ICU PWB memory expansion
The copier ICU PWB requires total memory capacity of 16 (20)MB or more.
Memory of 16MB or 32MB can be installed to the two slots. (4MB onboard)
Different capacity of memory can be installed to the two slots.
