Printing Flow - Develop ineo 250 Quick Manual

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. The print-
er controller then performs image rasterization (development of output char-
acters and images to bitmap data). Finally, this data is printed from this
machine.
Note
To connect the parallel interface, the optional local interface kit is re-
quired.

When a print job is received during copying, the data is stored in the memory
of this machine. When copying is complete, the print job is automatically
printed.
