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.
