Print controller features
These features allow you to use the copier as a printer.
When a print job is executed from an application on a computer, the print data is sent to the print controller
via a parallel interface (IEEE 1284) or a network.
The interpreter in the print controller rasterizes the print data to image data (the bitmap extracting process).
The image data is sent to the print engine in the copier via the PCI bus.
The print engine in the copier receives the image data from the video interface card through the PCI bus and
starts printing.
Even while the copier is printing jobs or receiving print data, the print controller can receive print jobs from an
application.
This printing system can continuously print A4/Letter paper at the maximum print speed of 85 ppm (400 dpi/
600 dpi).
Print speed and resolution vary depending on models of machine.
The system supports the duplex function and the finisher function which enables the use of five paper trays,
stapling, folding, stitching and hole-punching.
●
Scanning features
You can store original image data (scanned data) scanned from the copier's RADF or the platen glass in the
hard disk in the print controller as TIFF/PDF files and use it in a TWAIN-compliant application such as Adobe
Acrobat. The scanned data can be transmitted as an attached data via Email or uploaded to an FTP server.
When scanning an original image, you can configure image quality, scaling, resolution, scan size, Scan
mode and so on.
The scanning features fall into three categories: "Scan to HDD," "Scan to Email," and "Scan to FTP."
