Print Controller Options

This print controller has following options. For more detailed information, contact your service representative.
●
Add-on memory
For optimum printing performance, expanding the memory capacity is recommended.
Most of the print controller memory is used for rasterizing images (bitmap extracting process), font cache,
form overlay or other functions. Only a small part of the memory is used for system operation.
The basic memory setting for the print controller can print with 1 bit mode (400 dpi/600 dpi) in all paper sizes.
The memory of the print controller can be expanded.
Basic memory, maximum memory and resolution of print controller vary depending on models of machine.
The more memory is in the print controller, the more pages can be rasterized while waiting for a job to print.
When A4 size paper is used, approximately 4,345 KB memory is required to print 1 bit data at 600 dpi.
The E-RDH memory in the copier is used for the print process, which can be expanded.
E-RDH memory varies depending on models of machine. For details, refer to the "Copier's User's Guide."
The memory capacity of the print controller may be insufficient if:
• Print data for a page to be rasterlized by the print controller is too complicated.
If this is the case, expanding the memory capacity is recommended.
For printouts using features such as Multiple copies, the Booklet mode and the Wait mode, all data about the
entire set of pages rasterized by the print controller (one job) must be stored in the E-RDH memory first.
Therefore, there are occasions when attempting to produce a large number of pages using those features
will not produce the correct printouts.
If such is the case, install additional E-RDH memory in the copier.
●
PostScript3 option
Installing the PostScript3 option in the print controller, you can print data from the application on Windows
95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP or Macintosh with your copier as the PostScript3 printer. Before printing data with
PostScript, you must set up attached Adobe PS3 printer driver in your system.
