What you can do with the print controller


The print controller has the following functions.
It can receive print commands during printing.
Even while the print controller is printing or receiving data from one PC, it can receive print commands
from another.
This printing system stores data temporarily in the copier's memory and uses the Electronic Recirculating Document Handler (E-RDH) to handle the printing.
The standard E-RDH memory is 64 MB, which can hold about 360 pages of A4-size documents. The
memory can be expanded to up to 320 MB.
MEMO
z For details on memory, refer to [14-3. Options] (

Page 130)

1-1. What is the Print Controller?


Functions used with the copier can also be utilized from the PC.
Even when using the copier as a printer, duplex printing and paper tray selection can be executed the
same as when the unit is used as a copier. Also, stapling and other such functions can be selected if
the optional finisher is installed.
Managing the number of sheets printed (Printer EKC/ECM)
If the [Printer EKC/ECM] function is set, the number of sheets printed for each user can be managed by
password. It is possible to reject users without passwords and users who have reached a preset copy
or print limit.
MEMO
z For details, [Please ask your administrator].

The print controller can be used as a fax and printer.


The print controller can be used to send faxes directly from the PC.

This printing system can be used as a printer, fax, and scanner and of course, it can also be used as a copier.
To use this system as a copier, press the [Mode switch] button the control panel and light up [Copy].
To use the copier if it is receiving a fax or functioning as a printer, pressing the [Mode switch] button lets you
make copies.
When a print job or fax is received during copying, the data is stored in the copiers E-RDH memory. When
the copying ends, the output resumes automatically.
MEMO
z Whether the output is immediate or is scheduled as the next job depends on the copier status.

1-2. Flow of Processing

Flow for printing


Print commands sent from the application are received by the printer driver.
When this printing system is used as a local printer, data is sent to the copier then to the print controller through
the parallel interface (IEEE1284) and when it is used as a network printer, the data is sent through the ethernet
(TCP/IP, IPX/SPX). Image rasterizing processing is executed by the print controller (the characters and images
to the output are developed into bitmap data). This data is printed from the copier.
When printing with a password, first save the data on copiers optional hard disk (HD-103 Type-A).

Chapter 6 Fax Functions (PC-Fax)

When an optional fax kit is installed, you can send faxes directly on the computer without using
paper. This is called [PC-Fax].
This chapter summarizes the PC-Fax functions and explains the general flow of their processing.

6-1. Sending Faxes from the Computer


Normally, when a fax is sent, a handwritten or printed document is set in the fax machine and transmitted.
When the PC-Fax functions are used, you can use the computer to send and receive faxes directly without
using paper.
The transmission command sent from the application is received by the printer driver.
When this printing system is used as a local printer, data is sent to the copier then to the print controller via
the parallel interface (IEEE1284); when it is used as a network printer, the data is sent via Ethernet (TCP/IP,
IPX/SPX). The Print Controller executes rasterizing processing for the picture (converting the output characters and pictures into bit-map data). This data is accumulated in the E-RDH memory in the copier and transmitted as a fax.

Important
To use PC-Fax, it is necessary to install the optional fax kit on the copier main unit. For details, consult
your service representative.

6-2. Registering Recipient Names and their Fax


Numbers
You can register and manage recipient names and their fax numbers in the phonebook.
These transmission recipients can be put together into groups. You can send a document to all the members
of a group with just a single operation.

6-3. Using PC-Fax


Operating Systems supported by PC-Fax
The PC-Fax functions are executed using the PCL driver. The PC-Fax functions work on the following operations systems.
Windows 95
Windows 98
Windows Me
Windows NT 4.0
Windows 2000
Windows XP

Peer-to-Peer is a network configuration in which the client computers are connected directly to each other
without a server at the center of the network. Peer-to-Peer connections are used to configure a small-scale
network with a few computers.
This printer can send print jobs directly to the computers making up the Peer-to-Peer network without going
through a dedicated server. This is called [Peer-to-Peer] printing.
MEMO

12-1. Internet Printing


This printing system supports Internet printing using IPP (Internet Printing Protocol).
Internet printing is a printing technology that exchanges print data between a computer and printer at physically separate locations over the Internet or an intranet.
If you are connected over the Internet or an intranet, you can print with print instructions sent from a computer
at a site remote from the printer. With Internet printing, the printer can be used like a fax.
MEMO
z Internet printing can only be executed on computers running Windows 2000/XP as their operating system.

MEMO
IPP is a standardized protocol for sending and receiving print data over the Internet or an intranet. IPP is
a protocol based on HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) and can send/receive data through firewalls,
so it makes possible print instructions via the Internet.

14-3. Options
This section contains information on memory, hard disks, and other options.

Memory
Almost all the memory installed in the print controller is used for image rasterizing (bitmap development processing), font cache, form function, and other processing. Part is used for system operation.
The basic memory setting for the print controller is 64 MB, which makes printing in 1-bit mode (600 dpi) possible for all sizes of paper.

130

VI Appendix Chapter 14 Appendix

14-3. Options
The larger the capacity of the memory in the print controller, the more pages can be rasterized while waiting
for earlier jobs in the queue to print. For A4 size paper, printing 1-bit mode data uses about 4,345 KB of memory (600 dpi).
Also, the copier's E-RDH memory is used for print processing. The E-RDH memory can be expanded to up to
320 MB.

E-RDH (Electronic Recirculating Document Handler) memory


The E-RDH is a system that stores print data temporarily in the copier main unit memory (E-RDH memory) and processes it according to the selected settings.
When printing from the print controller, the copier main unit E-RDH is used.
The copiers E-RDH memory is 64 MB standard and can be expanded to up to 320MB.
The print controller uses 1-bit mode. It can hold approximately 360 pages of A4 data in the 64 MB (standard) of E-RDH memory.
Under conditions such as the following, because the print controller does not have adequate memory
installed, the desired print results cannot be obtained.
When error dispersion (normal fine or fine) is specified with the printer driver, if the data is complex, image processing is switched automatically to dither and so printed.
When form data is complicated (the file sizes large), the form is not printed.
In the above cases, it is recommended that the print controller's memory be expanded.
Also, when printing specifying multiple copies, booklet, job control partial stop functions, etc., the data
for all the pages (in one job) that have been rasterized with the print controller are temporarily stored in
the E-RDH memory. Therefore, when you print a document with a particularly large number of pages, if
you use these functions, it may be impossible to print it correctly.
In this case, it is recommended that the copier's E-RDH memory be expanded.

Expanding memory
To always obtain optimum printer performance, it is recommended that you expand the memory.

MEMO
For details on expansion memory, consult your service representative.

Problems with optional products


This section gives information concerning memory and hard disk problems and explains how to solve them.

Insufficient memory
The following print problems can occur due to insufficient print controller basic memory or copier main
unit E-RDH memory.
Parts of images are left out of printing.
Forms are not printed
Error dispersion is specified, but the data is printed with dither.

131

VI Appendix Chapter 14 Appendix

14-3. Options
Memory overflows occur.
If any of the above problems occur, use the solutions on this page.
MEMO
z For details on the E-RDH memory, refer to [E-RDH (Electronic Recirculating Document Handler) memory]
(

Page 131).

When parts of images are left out of printing


When the data for a single page in a print job received by the print controller is complex, for example
when it includes an extremely large amount of straight lines and other vector graphics on one page for
a graphics application, the memory used for rasterizing with the print controller may sometimes be
insufficient.
In this case, set the printer driver graphic setting to raster mode.

Forms are not printed


If any of the conditions below occur, forms may not be printed.
The form exceeds the maximum data size
The relationship between the memory installed in the print controller and the maximum size of
form data is as follows.
Installed memory capacity

Maximum form data size

64 MB (no expansion
memory)

Approx. 2.6 MB

192 MB (128 MB expansion memory)

Approx. 7.8 MB

When [Make transparent] is specified with the [Form tab]


When forms are not printed due to insufficient memory, it is recommended that the print controller's memory be expanded.

When error dispersion is specified, but the data is printed with dither
Error dispersal requires more printer memory for image processing than dither.
In this case, it is recommended the print controller's memory be expanded.

When memory overflows occur


The amount of data for print job depends on the functions selected with the printer driver (booklet, center fold/center bind functions, 2-in-1 functions, etc.) and on the number of pages in the print documents,
so sometimes memory overflows occur in the copiers E-RDH memory. If a memory overflow occurs,
the output for that print job is canceled.
If the [Memory overflow] error message is displayed, cancel the print job, take the steps below, then
issue the print instructions again.
Check that there are currently no jobs in the copier being processed or waiting for processing,
then send the job again.
If the document has many pages, do not send the print instructions for all the pages at once, but
rather send the print instructions divided over a number of jobs.

132

VI Appendix Chapter 14 Appendix

14-4. Function List


Deleting unnecessary function specifications
If memory overflows occur frequently, it is recommended that the copier's memory be expanded.

The hard disk does not operate normally


If the main power is switched off while the hard disk is operating, data may stop writing correctly and the
hard disk may stop operating normally. If the hard disk is not operating normally, initialize the hard disk
with the procedure below.

Switch on the copier power. The [Main menu] screen is displayed.


MEMO
z For details on the procedure for displaying the [Main menu] screen, [Please ask your administrator].

Touch the [5] key.

Touch the [OK] key.


A screen to confirm whether or not to initialize the hard disk is displayed.

Touch the [1] key.

Touch the [OK] key.


When the formatting ends, [Switch the power off, then on again] is displayed.

Switch the copier power switch Off, wait about 10 seconds, then switch the power back On
again.
If the above procedure does not restore normal operation of the hard disk, contact your service
representative.

Caution
After switching Off the Copier main power, if you switch it back on without waiting, the print controller
may not operate normally and errors may be displayed.
In this case, if you switch the Copier main power Off again, wait at least 10 seconds or so, then switch
the main power On again, the system will operate normally.

Important
When the hard disk is initialized, all of the downloaded font information will be erased.
Also the print setting and the controller setting will reset to the factory default.
