Operating Environment

The print controller includes a 800-MHz Intel Low Voltage Pentium III CPU to perform high-speed image pro-
cessing (rasterization). While rasterized image data are sent to the engine, data in the following pages are simul-
taneously rasterized. Thus, it has 256MB memory by default, and this memory is expandable to 512 MB to
accommodate extremely complex print data processing requirements. This design enables the print controller to
produce outputs at high speed without causing the print engine to stop in the process even when processing a
large number of pages.
The print controller system software runs on VxWorks from Wind River and is included on the CF(Compact
Flash).
The hard disk is used for storing configured settings, storing the copier's scanned data and downloaded fonts,
and for spooling print data.
The scanned data is sent to PCs via the standard Ethernet Network Interface.
The transmission and reception of scanned data between the print controller and the print engine is a task of a
built-in engine interface (video interface).
As well, the serial interface is used for checking software operations/memory, thus giving access to the system
in the print controller.
