○ CMOCA—Supports full color management for AFP/IPDS
System overview
The IC-309m print controller, powered by Creo Server
Technology, for the Konica Minolta monochrome bizhub presses is
an on-demand prepress system that runs on a Microsoft Windows
Embedded Standard 7 (WES) SP1 operating system and uses
advanced prepress technologies to drive the Konica Minolta
monochrome bizhub presses.
The IC-309m print controller enables you to print from computers
running the Microsoft Windows operating system, Apple Mac OS X
operating system software, and The Open Group UNIX client
workstations. Using raster image processor (RIP) technology, the
IC-309m print controller performs pre-RIP preflight on each file
that is imported to the IC-309m print controller and converts image
files in page-description language (PDL) formats (for example,
Adobe PostScript, PDF, and variable data printing formats) to a
suitable ready-to-print (RTP) format for direct high-quality digital
printing. The IC-309m print controller also streamlines the printing
process by allowing you to print with preset workflows.
The IC-309m print controller submits jobs to the printer in PDF
format using JDF/JMF protocol. IC-309m preset workflows and full
bidirectional JDF/JMF communication between the IC-309m print
controller and the printer enables maximum efficiency and
streamlining of the printing process.
The IC-309m print controller enables the efficient printing of flyers,
brochures, pamphlets, catalogs, short-run trials, and print-on-
demand publications. When installed as a fast network printer with
the IC-309m print controller, the printer prints at the full-rated
speed of 125 (Konica Minolta monochrome bizhub presses) black
and white A4 (210 mm x 297 mm) or Letter (8.5 inches x 11
inches) simplex pages per minute, on different media types and
weights.
The IC-309m print controller combines RIP functionalities,
automation, control tools, and special hardware development
capabilities with Windows-based architecture.
If you have the Trans Pack, the IC-309m print controller supports
transactional printing using the IPDS workflow including
bidirectional communication with an IPDS host. You can configure
the IC-309m print controller to either:
