Overview of the Print Controller

Printing System (1) + PS-1 and Print Engine
The Printing System (1) + PS-1 is the Print Controller used to connect the Vi7360
Printer/Copier to computers or to a network on which the Vi7360 can function as a
PostScript printer from applications on Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000 or Macintosh.
The optional NC-5 Network Interface Card is required for connecting to a network.
The operation panel of the Vi7360 can be used either in the copy mode or the printer
mode.
Even while the Vi7360 is printing or copying, the Printing System (1) + PS-1 can receive
the next job, and while the Printing System (1) + PS-1 is receiving a print job, you can
use the copying mode.
The Printing System (1) + PS-1 supports PostScript 3. When the command for printing
is executed from applications on Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000 or Macintosh, print
data is sent to the Printing System (1) + PS-1 by way of a parallel cable (IEEE 1284) or
a network. The PostScript interpreter inside the Print Controller rasterizes the print
data to image data, which is sent to the Vi7360 Print Engine via the video interface card
installed in the Print Engine. The Serial bus (IEEE 1394) provides a high speed
transmitting method for data, commands and status transferring between the PostScript
interpreter and the video interface card. The maximum transferring rate is 200 Mbps.
The Printer Engine receives image data through the PCI bus from the video interface
card.
The Printing System (1) system can continuously print Letter/A4-size paper at
the print speed of 73 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.
