Overview Overview Printer Controller CD-ROM Configuration The printer controller CD-ROMs consist of the following: - User Software CD-ROM - PostScript Printer Driver CD-ROM (Win/Mac) Each CD-ROM contains printer drivers (for Windows and for Macintosh) and utilities as well as screen fonts and documentation, such as the User’s Guides and release notes.
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 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. Flow of the Computer Faxing Operation Conventionally, faxes are sent by loading an original into a fax machine and sending it.
Overview Operation Environment The system requirements for using this printing system and the interfaces used for connection are explained below. Compatible Computers and Operating Systems Check that the computer being connected meets the following conditions.
