Chapter 1 Overview
■Overview of the Print Controller
●Print Controller and Main Body Printer
The print controller is designed to be used as the built-in type server of the main body
printer/copier.
The print controller can be used to connect the main body printer to computers or to a
network on which the main body printer can function as a printer/network printer from appli-
cations on Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000. The optional network interface card is required for
connecting to a network.
Printing System
For use as a networked printer
(NIC required)
For use as a local printer
Print Controller
Main Body Printer
When the command for printing is executed from an application on Windows 95/98/Me/NT/
2000, print data is sent to the print controller by way of a parallel Interface (IEEE 1284) or a
network.
The interpreter inside the print controller rasterizes the print data to image data (bitmap
extracting process), which is sent to the print engine in the main body printer via the VIC
(video interface card) installed in the main body printer to print.
The Serial bus (IEEE 1394) provides a high speed transmitting method for data, commands
and status transferring between the interpreter and the video interface card. The maximum
transferring rate is 200 Mbps.
The print engine in the main body printer receives image data through the PCI bus from the
video interface card.
Even while the main body printer is printing the previous print job data or receiving the print
data, the print controller can receive the next command for printing from an application.
The printing system can continuously print Letter/A4-size paper at the maximum print speed
of 75 ppm (400 dpi/600 dpi).
In addition, this system supports the duplex function and the finisher function which enables
the use of five paper trays, stapling, folding and stitching, punching.

Print Controller User’s Guide 1-3
Chapter 1 Overview
Copy Mode, Printer Mode and Scanner Mode
The control panel of the main body printer can be used in any mode of the copy mode,
the printer mode or the scanner mode.
Even while the main body printer is printing or copying, the print controller can receive
the next job, and while the print controller is receiving a print job or a scan job, you can
use the copy mode.
Printer ECM
Printer ECM is a feature to manage the number of prints on the copier.
Setting the Printer ECM feature means that, provided you enter a password previously
established on the printer to request a print job, the copier counts up printouts based on
the ECM counter to know when a preset limit is hit, and also rejects a print request from
a client having no valid password.
E-RDH (Electronic Recirculating Document Handler)
The E-RDH system temporarily stores in memory the print data you select from avail-
able options. The main body printer E-RDH is used to print from the print controller.
The E-RDH memory is 64 MB (standard) and can be extended to 512 MB.
When using the E-RDH in the one-sided mode, printing will be performed simulta-
neously while the print controller rasterizes the pages in the print job and sends them to
the E-RDH memory. While pages are being printed from the E-RDH memory, the print
controller continues to rasterize the next print job in the sequence.

Basic Configuration
Configuration of the print controller is as follows:
●Architecture: IBM Compatible PC System
●Processor: Intel Celeron 800 MHz
●Memory: 64 MB standard / 256 MB max. (option)
●Hard Drive: IDE compatible 2.0 GB min.

Centronics (IEEE 1284)
Ethernet (option)
100BaseTX and 10BaseT
The optional network interface card is used to connect to the Ethernet. This card is the
internal network interface card which supports multiple protocols on the Ethernet. This
card includes a CPU and flash memory with an upgradable program.
The network interface card supports the following network protocols.
●IPX/SPX (NetWare, Peer to Peer)
●TCP/IP (LPD/LPR, Peer to Peer)
●AppleTalk (EtherTalk)
Refer to the corresponding operating manual for how to use the network interface card.
Do not use the parallel port with the Ethernet interface. Otherwise, a system
error may occur.
IEEE 1394
The maximum transferring rate is 200 Mbps.
Use the Océengine interface only to connect the print controller and the main
body printer. Otherwise, a system error may occur.

●Printer Driver
The print controller works according to the condition of the printer driver.
The printer driver can be used on the following OS:
•Windows 95
•Windows 98
•Windows Me
•Windows NT4.0
•Windows 2000
Refer to “Chapter 2 Printer Driver Setup”(p. 2-1) for how to set up the printer.
Refer to “Chapter 3 Printer Driver Functions”(p. 3-1) for detailed functions of the printer
driver.
●Page Description Language
PDL (page description language) controls the transfer of information from the computer to
the print controller.
“PCL5e”comes as the PDL with the print controller.

Print Controller User’s Guide 1-7
Chapter 1 Overview
●Memory
Most of the print controller memory is used for rasterizing images (bitmap extracting pro-
cess), font cache, form overlay or other functions. Only a small part of it is used for system
operation.
The basic memory setting of the print controller is 64 MB. The memory of the print controller
can be expanded to 256 MB maximum.
The more memory in the print controller, the more pages that can be rasterized while wait-
ing for the previous job to print. When Letter/A4 size paper is used, approximately 4,345 KB
memory is required to print 1 bit data in 600 dpi.
In addition, the E-RDH memory in the main body printer is used for the print process, which
can be expanded to 512 MB maximum.
For printouts using such features as multiple copies, booklet mode and wait mode, all data
about the entire set of pages rasterized by the print controller (one job) must be first stored
in the E-RDH memory.
Therefore, there are occasions when attempting to produce a very large number of pages
using those features does not lead to the correct printouts.
If this occurs, installing additional E-RDH memory in the main body printer (copier) is
recommended.
Memory Overflow
Depending on the functions selected in the printer driver, occasional memory overflow may
occur if the volume of the print job is large. In this case the print job is cancelled.
e.g., Booklet, Fold &Stitch, 2 in 1, etc.
In case of frequent memory overflow, extending the memory capacity of the main body
printer (copier) is recommended.
Upgrading Memory
To obtain optimum printer performance, memory expansion is recommended.
Contact the nearest Océservice representative for details.

■Installation of the Printer Driver
To use the printing system, it is necessary to connect it to computers by way of the parallel
interface or Ethernet interface and install the printer driver.
Printer driver is the program only for the print controller which expands the OS functions to
control the I/O of the printing system.
●Before Installation
Models and Environment of Computers
The printing system can be used with Windows-compliant computers.
The print controller includes the printer driver for Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000.
The printer driver can be installed to computer models as long as Windows 95/98/Me/
NT/2000 has been installed on them to use the printing system.
Please keep the “User Software CD”on hand since it is required to install the printer
driver.
When the old version printer driver is installed, make sure to uninstall the
printer driver before installing the new printer driver.
Refer to “● Uninstalling the Printer Driver”(p.2-9) for how to uninstall the printer
driver.
When installing the printer driver, a screen may appear that asks the user to
select whether the printer driver file (file to be copied) or a new file that exists in
the computer is to be used. If this screen appears, select use of a new file that
already exists in the computer. If a new file is not used, the OS may not start
up properly the next time the OS is started up.
