Chapter 1 Overview ■ Overview of the Print Controller ● Print Controller and Printer Engine The print controller enables the copier connected to a computer or network to print from applications on Windows 95/98/Me or NT4.0/2000. To connect to a network, the optional network interface card is required. When the command for printing is executed from applications on Windows 95/98/Me or NT4.0/ 2000, print data is sent to the print controller by way of a parallel cable (IEEE 1284) or a network.
Chapter 1 Overview Copy Mode, FAX Mode and Printer / Scanner Mode Every mode of the copier operation panel can be used. Even while the copier is printing or copying, the print controller can receive the next job, and while the print controller is receiving a print job, you can copy or send faxes.
Chapter 1 Overview ● Print Controller Hardware Configuration Basic Configuration Configuration of the print controller is as follows: Control board CPU: Pentium MMX-166 MHz Program memory: FLASH ROM (Compact Flash) 16 MB System memory: 32 MB SD-RAM Memory The print controller is equipped with 32 MB memory as standard and can be expanded to 160 MB maximum.

Chapter 5 Scanner ■ Brief Description of the Network Scanner Original document images scanned into the E-RDH memory from the copier’s RADF or platen glass are stored on the print controller's hard disk as a TIFF file. During scanning preparation, you can set such things as enhancement, magnification, resolution, dual page copying, non-image area erasure, etc. To scan documents, you must first specify a 4-digit box number on the control panel.
Chapter 5 Scanner ■ Pre-operations To use the printing system as a scanner, a Konica Network Scanner Driver must be installed on the computer in which a TWAIN scanner driver-equipped application has been previously installed. ● Compliant OS for installing the Konica Network Scanner Driver: • Windows95/98/Me • WindowsNT4.0 • Windows2000 For the printing system to be used as a scanner, you need the hard disk and network interface card.
Chapter 5 Scanner ■ Scanning from the copier Document images scanned by the copier can be stored on the print controller's hard disk as a TIFF file. To do this, you have to specify a 4-digit box number. ● To scan documents 1. Place the document to be scanned on the copier RADF or platen glass. 2. Press the SCANNER/PRINTER button on the control panel to display the printer main menu screen wording. 3. Press the [SCANNER] key on the LCD display to switch the display to the scanner main screen. 4.
Chapter 5 Scanner When using the system as a scanner, it is recommended that box numbers be previously assigned and made known to individual users via e-mail or other means. The box number assists in protecting the individual users’ data. 5. If the message [Position original in the RADF face-up] appears on the LCD display, set elements such as Text/Photo Enhancement, SCAN DENSITY, SCAN MODE, Quality, SIZE, Application Functions, etc. as required, and then scan the document as follows: 6.
Chapter 5 Scanner ● Scanner setting screen Features (1) [Box No.] key Allows you to enter a box number. Pressing this key gives access to the box number display screen. (2) [SCAN] key Lets the document scanning process start in memory mode. The loaded document is scanned and stored in the E-RDH memory. Pressing the [START] key allows you to upload the scanned data to the controller's hard disk. (3) [Text/Photo Enhance] Allows you to select a degree of enhancement. One of 4 options is always selected.
Chapter 5 Scanner (7) [Quality] key Allows you to select the resolution. The default Quality setting depends on the key operator mode setting of the printer. For the key operator mode, see “Chapter 4, Control Panel Setup”. The scanned data is read into the copier’s memory (E-RDH).
