Chapter 1 Overview Overview of the Print Controller Print Controller and Main Body Printer The print controller is designed to be used as the built-in type server of the main body printer/copier. The print controller can be used to connect the main body printer to computers or to a network on which the main body printer can function as a printer/network printer from applications on Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000.
Page 12
Chapter 1 Overview Copy Mode, Printer Mode and Scanner Mode The control panel of the main body printer can be used in any mode of the copy mode, the printer mode or the scanner mode. Even while the main body printer is printing or copying, the print controller can receive the next job, and while the print controller is receiving a print job or a scan job, you can use the copy mode.
Chapter 1 Overview Hardware Configuration Basic Configuration Configuration of the print controller is as follows: Architecture: IBM Compatible PC System Processor: Intel Pentium III 500 MHz Memory: 64 MB standard / 512 MB max. (option) Hard Drive: IDE compatible 2.0 GB min. Floppy Drive: 3.5"...
Chapter 1 Overview Printer Driver The print controller works according to the condition of the printer driver. The printer driver can be used on the following OS: • Windows 95 • Windows 98 • Windows Me • Windows NT4.0 • Windows 2000 Refer to “Chapter 2 Printer Driver Setup”...
Chapter 1 Overview Memory 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 it is used for system operation. The basic memory setting of the print controller is 64 MB. The memory of the print controller can be expanded to 512 MB maximum.

Chapter 5 Scanner Operation Scanning from the Copier Document images scanned by the copier can be stored on the print controller’s hard disk as a TIFF file. To do this, you have to specify a 4-digit box number. In addition, there are two ways that you can scan the original using the copier. In either way, you can specify IMAGE ENHANCE, SCAN MODE, SCAN DENSITY, LENS MODE, SCAN SIZE, QUALITY, SPECIAL ORIGINAL and others before getting the original read in.
Page 97
Chapter 5 Scanner Operation Enter a 4-digit box number, and press the [OK] key. The display is switched to a scanner setting basic screen. Be sure to jot down this number. You need it when reading scanned data from the computer.
Chapter 5 Scanner Operation To Scan Documents in Store Mode The scanned data is sent to the print controller after canceling store mode. You can use the Store Mode to sent the scanned data of multiple originals at once. Complete steps 1 through 5 under the heading “To Scan Documents in Real Mode”.
