Overview Overview Printer controller The printer controller is a device for performing printing functions and net- work printing functions with this machine. Role of the printer controller The printer controller is built into the machine. You can print from applications on the computer connected to the printing system.
Overview Machine modes The printer driver settings are mainly set using a computer, however, the font list can be printed, and the printer controller settings and default print set- tings can be set using the control panel of this machine. In addition, fax and scanning operations can be used by switching the mode.
Overview Printing flow When using this printing system as a printer, the flow of the main process is described below. Print commands transmitted from the application are received by the printer driver. Data is transmitted to this machine over a parallel interface (IEEE 1284) when this machine is used as a local printer, over a USB interface when this ma- chine is used as a USB printer, or over an Ethernet interface (TCP/IP, IPX/ SPX, or AppleTalk) when this machine is used as a network printer.
Overview Operating environment The system requirements for using this printing system and the interfaces used for connection are explained below. Connectable computers and operating systems Check that the computer being connected meets the following conditions. Windows Item Operating environment Operating system Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 6a or later), Windows 2000 Professional (Service Pack 4 or later), Windows XP Home Edition (Service Pack 2 or later), Windows XP...
Overview Connectable interfaces The various interfaces that can be used to connect this printing system to a computer are described below.
