■Contents ofThis Chapter
This chapter describes the outline of the Konica IP-011 Printer Controller. For the Copier, Konica 7020 series to
which the Konica IP-011 Printer Controller is attached, refer to the operating manual of the Copier.

Chapter 1 Outline
IP-011 Printer Controller 1-3
■ Outline of the Printer Controller
● IP-011 and Printer Engine
The Konica IP-011 is the Printer Controller (IP-011) which is used to connect the Copier, Konica
7020 series (Konica 7020 series) to computers or a network and to use the Konica 7020 series as
a printer from applications on Windows 95/98 or Windows NT (In order to connect to a network, the
optional Konica KN-304 network board is required.).
When the command for printing is executed from applications on Windows 95/98 or Windows NT,
print data is sent to the IP-011 by way of a parallel cable (IEEE 1284) or a network.Then, the IP-
011 rasterizes the print data to image data, which is sent to the Konica 7020 series Printer Engine
by way of the PCI bus.
The IP-011 can receive the command for printing from applications even while the Printer Engine is
printing the previous print jobs or receiving data.
The 7020+IP-011 system can continuously print A4-size paper at the print speed of 20 ppm.In
addition, this system supports the duplex function and the finisher function which enables using
four paper trays, alternate printing and stapling.
Conceptual Connection
E-RDH (Electronic Recirculating Document Hander)
The E-RDH is a system which temporarily saves print data in the memory of the Konica 7020
series to perform printing in accordance with the selected option. In order to print from the IP-011,
the E-RDH of the 7020 series is used.The E-RDH memory of the Konica 7020 is 32 MB (standard)
and can be extended to 288 MB at the maximum.
In the IP-011, the E-RDH is used in the 1 bit mode.Data of approximately 180 pages of A4-size
paper can be saved in the 32 MB (standard) E-RDH memory.
Copy Mode and Printer Mode
The operation panel of the Konica 7020 series can be used either in the copy mode or the printer mode.
Even while the Konica 7020 series is printing or copying, the IP-011 can receive the next job, and
while the IP-011 is receiving a print job, you can execute copying.
In case of using as a networked printer
In case of using as a local printer
*The Konica KN-304 is required.

Chapter 1 Outline

● IP-011 Hardware Configuration
Basic Configuration
Configuration of the IP-011 is as follows:
Control board
CPU: Power PC 401 GF
Program memory: FLASH ROM
System memory: 16MB SD-RAM
Memory
The IP-011 is equipped with 16 MB memory as standard and can be expanded to 80 MB at the
maximum.
● I/O Interface
Parallel
Centronics (IEEE1284)/ amphenol 36 pin male connector
PCI Bus
Card Edge Type/20MHz/32bit
Ethernet (option)
100Base-T and 10Base-T
The optional KN-304 card is used to connect to the Ethernet.The KN-304 is the internal print
server card which supports multiple protocols on the Ethernet.This card includes a CPU and a
flash memory with an upgradable program.
The KN-304 supports the following network protocol.
•IPX/SPX (NetWare)
•LPD/LPR (TCP/IP)
•Peer to peer (TCP/IP)
Refer to the corresponding operating manual for connection to the KN-304.

● How to Use Memory
Most of memory of the IP-011 is used for rasterizing images and a part of it is used for the system operation. In
addition, E-RDH memory of the Konica 7020 series is used for print processing.
The basic memory settings of the IP-011 is 16MB, which allows 1 bit mode (600 dpi) printing for all sizes of paper.
The memory of the IP-011 can be expanded to 80MB at the maximum.In addition, the E-RDH memory of the
Konica 7020 can be expanded to 288MB at the maximum.
The more memory the IP-011 has, the more pages are rasterized during waiting the printing of the previous job.
When the A4-size paper is used, approximately 4,345 KB memory is used to print 1 bit data in 600dpi.
Memory Upgrading
In order to obtain the optimum printer performance, memory expansion is recommended.
Contact service providers for details.
