Print flows

The following outlines the flow of operations for using this printing system as a printer.
Print data sent from an application is received by the printer driver.
The data is sent to this machine via the USB interface for USB connection or via Ethernet (TCP/IP, etc.) for
network connection. Then the data is passed from this machine to the image controller. The image controller
rasterizes images (expands output target characters and images to bitmap data). This data is printed from
this machine.
While this machine is operating as a printer, originals can be scanned using the copy function or network scan
function. To use the copy function of this machine, press the [Copy] key on the touch panel.
When a print job is received during copying, the data is stored in the memory of this machine. When the cop-
ying is completed, the print job is automatically printed.
