2.1 Printer Controller 2
2 Overview
2.1 Printer Controller
The printer controller is a device that enables the printing function on this machine.
2.1.1 Roles of the printer controller
Incorporating the printer controller enables this machine to function as a printing system, which enables print-
ing through the use of applications loaded on the computer connected to this machine. When using this ma-
chine as a network printer, you can print using applications loaded on the computer. Two types of controllers
are available for this machine: The standard controller and the optional Image Controller IC-209.
Standard controller
The standard controller can be connected to the computer via a USB port, and uses the GDI printer driver for
printing.
1. This machine
2. Printer controller
3. Printing system
The standard printer controller provides the following functions:
-Printing data sent from a printer driver on a computer
-Controlling the number of pages to be printed (Account Track functions)
-Fax transmission direct from a computer (PC-FAX transmission)
If optional Network Card NC-504 is installed, you can use functions via the network in the same way as when
optional Image Controller IC-209 is installed.

bizhub 215 2-3
2.1 Printer Controller 2
Optional Image Controller
The optional image controller can be connected to the computer via a USB or network port, and uses the
PCL printer driver for printing.
1. This machine
2. Printer controller
3. Printing system
Optional Image Controller IC-209 provides the following functions:
-Printing data sent from a printer driver on a computer
-Supporting network protocols including TCP/IP (IPv4/IPv6)
-Printing via the network using Web service (Windows Vista/7/Server 2008/Server 2008 R2), LPR or IPP
printing
-Configuring settings for this machine and the printer controller from a client computer via the network
(using a Web browser)
-Controlling the number of pages to be printed (Account Track functions)
-Fax transmission direct from a computer (PC-FAX transmission)
dReference
The PC-FAX transmission requires optional Fax Kit FK-510 and Extended Operation Panel MK-733. For
details on the PC-FAX transmission, refer to the [User's Guide Fax Operations].

2.1 Printer Controller 2
2.1.2 Flow of printing
The following outlines the flow of operations for using this printing system as a printer.
Print data sent from an application is received by the printer driver.
The data is sent to this machine via the USB interface for USB connection or Ethernet (TCP/IP) for network
connection. Then the data is passed from this machine to the printer controller. The printer controller raster-
izes images (expands output target characters and images to bitmap data). This data is printed from this ma-
chine.
When a print job is received during copying, the data is stored in the memory of this machine. When the cop-
ying is completed, the print job is automatically printed.
