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 the machine via the USB interface for USB connection or via Ethernet (TCP/IP, IPX/SPX,
AppleTalk) for network connection. Then the data is passed from the machine to the printer controller. The
printer controller rasterizes images (expands output target characters and images to bitmap data). This data
is printed from this machine.
While this machine is operating as a printer, originals can be scanned using the copy function or network scan
function. To use the copy function of this machine, press the Copy key on the control panel.
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.
