[7] FUNCTION AND OPERATION
1. Multi Function
Multiple Functions
Arbitration of contention among printing, copying and faxing is controlled by the copier. The print controller only sends the print request to the copier.
The copier judges whether the requested print job is immediately performed or not by checking the current status of the copier. The printer controller
does not control contention caused by the status of the copier.
