Introduction

Digital Technology

The Konica 7045 Workgroup Document System™ is a digital printer/copier that can be
used either as a standalone copier or as a high-speed network printer when connected
to the optional IP-431 Image Processor.
The Konica 7045 Printer/Copier can also be used as a print server on a network
operating system when installed with the optional KN-303 Network Interface Board.
Separate user's manuals and installation instructions are included with the optional IP-
431 and KN-303 devices.
Digital technology and memory capability of the Konica 7045 Printer/Copier provide
many advantages over the conventional photocopying process.
In conventional photocopying, a scanned image virtually remains intact as it is represented
on the drum and copied onto the output media. While many settings can be made before
outputting the copies, such as with image reduction, enlargement, and erasure or job store
and job recall, the conventional photocopying process is not capable of transforming
image into bits and storing image data into memory as with digital technology.
In the Konica 7045 Printer/Copier, scanned image is electronically digitized into data bits
that are represented in code form and stored into memory. Stored data can be retrieved
from memory and output in various ways, as controlled by software. Digitized image is
represented as pixels on a screen and as dots per inch (dpi) on hard copy. The Konica
7045 Printer/Copier resolves image at 600 dpi.
Konica 7045 Printer/Copier digital technology enables you to:
• feed originals only once to make multiple copies, thereby preserving the condition of
originals
• store image in memory and perform Sheet/Cover insertion, Chapter, Combination,
Booklet, Image insert, Book copy, Mixed original, Repeat, Image shift
• enhance photo, complex text image quality, and enhance lighter image
• reduce toner consumption and produce clean copies with Non-image area erase
• organize images into booklet format
• insert images scanned from the platen into a set scanned from the document feeder
• overlay stamp images on scanned original
• check copying conditions and produce a proof copy before making multiple copied sets
• confirm the current machine status
• select offset-sort, offset-group, or staple-sort output mode using optional Finisher (FS-
109)
• set reverse jobs to make copies of different types in succession
