Introduction
■ Introduction
The IP-421 is a print controller designed to be housed in the Konica 7020 Copier/Printer, and to work
as a network printer when a KN-303 network interface card is used. By using the Printer EKC feature,
you can manage the number of prints on the copier.
An optional hard disk, HD-103, is available for the IP-421 Print Controller. By installing this hard disk,
the copier can be used as a network scanner. You can save image data scanned by the copier to the
Print Controller’s hard disk and read the saved data into TWAIN-compliant applications ,such as
Adobe Photoshop LE.
Installation of a hard disk makes it possible to use a Password Print feature. This feature prohibits a
print job from being carried out unless a user ID and password are entered on the copier. This is
useful for protecting sensitive information.
The copier can also function as a network fax machine when used in conjunction with the FK-101 Fax
Kit (a faxing facility called PC-FAX).
The copier/printer, the optional network card and Fax kit include operating manuals (7020 series
INSTRUCTION MANUAL/KN-303 INSTRUCTION MANUAL (CD)/FK-101 INSTRUCTION MANUAL
respectively) .
For the detailed operations of Windows95/98, refer to operating manuals of each operating system.
For operations of applications, refer to operating manuals included with each application.

Chapter 1 Overview
■ Overview of the Print Controller
● Print Controller and Printer Engine
The print controller enables the copier connected to a computer or network to print from applications on Windows 95/98/Me or NT4.0/2000. To connect to a network, the optional network
interface card is required.
When the command for printing is executed from applications on Windows 95/98/Me or NT4.0/
2000, print data is sent to the print controller by way of a parallel cable (IEEE 1284) or a network. Then, the print controller rasterizes the print data to image data, which is sent to the
copier Printer Engine by way of the PCI bus.
The print controller can receive the command for printing from applications even while the
Printer Engine is printing the previous print jobs or receiving data.
The printing system can continuously print Letter/A4-size paper at a print speed of 20-35 ppm.
In addition, this system supports the duplex function and the finisher function which enables
using four paper trays, alternate printing and stapling.

E-RDH (Electronic Recirculating Document Handler)
The E-RDH is a system which temporarily saves print data in the memory of the copier to
enable printing in accordance with the selected option. To print from the print controller, the ERDH of the copier is used. The E-RDH memory of the copier is 32 MB (standard) and can be
extended to 288 MB maximum.
The E-RDH is used in the 1 bit mode. Data of approximately 180 pages of A4-size paper can be
saved in the 32 MB (standard) E-RDH memory.
Chapter 1 Overview
Copy Mode, FAX Mode and Printer / Scanner Mode
Every mode of the copier operation panel can be used.
Even while the copier is printing or copying, the print controller can receive the next job, and
while the print controller is receiving a print job, you can copy or send faxes.
Network Scanner
By installing the optional network interface card and hard disk on the print controller, image
data scanned by the copier is stored to the print controller’s hard disk and read into TWAINcompliant applications via a network. It can be also modified by this application.
Printer EKC
Printer EKC is a feature to manage the number of prints on the copier.
Provided the previously established password is entered,the Printer EKC feature counts printouts and determines when a preset limit has been reached.The Printer EKC feature rejects
print requests from a client without a valid password.
PC-FAX
By outfitting the print controller with an optional network interface card, a hard disk and a fax kit,
you can send a fax via your printing system from the separate client PCs on the network in the
same way as for normal printing.
Chapter 1 Overview
● Print Controller Hardware Configuration

Chapter 1 Overview
● How to Use Memory
Most print controller memory is used for rasterizing images and the functions of cache and overlay,
only a small part of memory is used for system operation. In addition, the copier’s E-RDH memory is
used for print processing.
The basic memory setting of the print controller is 32 MB, which allows 1 bit mode (600 dpi) printing
for all paper sizes. The print controller memory can be expanded to 160 MB maximum. In addition, the
copier E-RDH can be expanded to 288 MB maximum.
The more memory included in the print controller, the more pages that can be rasterized while waiting
for printing of the previous job. When letter-size paper is used, approximately 4,345 KB memory is
required to print 1 bit data in 600dpi.
If you have a very complex page in a print job or if you frequently need to print out data on A3 or larger
size paper, memory errors may occasionally occur depending on the print controller’s memory size
available for rasterization (bitmap extracting process). In this case, it is recommended that you extend
the print controller’s memory.
When printing out data using Duplex print, Staple print or other advanced features, you need data of
the whole job rasterized by the print controller and stored in E-RDH memory. Therefore, when printing
a document with a very large number of pages, the data may be not print out according to the printing
features specified . To solve this problem, it is recommended that you expand the print engine’s
(copier’s) memory (E-RDH memory).
Memory Upgrading
To obtain optimum printer performance, memory expansion is recommended.
Contact your service representative for details.

● Compliant OS ............................................................... 3-3
■ Property of Printer Driver.................................... 3-3
■ Printer Driver Function List ................................. 3-7
■ Description of Printer Driver Functions ............. 3-11
This chapter fully describes the functions of the Printer Driver installed in computers connected to the
printing system. The Printer Driver functions are presented in two parts, listed first, then described
individually.
Refer to “Chapter 2 Setup” (page 2-1) for installation of the printer driver.
■ Working Environment
● Compliant OS
The Printer Driver can be used on the following OS.
Windows 95/98/Me
Windows NT4.0/2000
Refer to “Chapter 2 Setup” (page 2-1) for installation of the Printer Driver.
■ Property of Printer Driver
You have two ways of changing the settings of the printer driver.
One way is by selecting [Control Panel]-[Printers]-[Properties] of [Konica IP-421 PCL](or [Document
Defaults]-[Printing Preferences]). The other is by making settings within applications for each printing
session.
The settings made in the first way are effective on all printouts, whatever the application.
The settings made in the second way are effective only when the application for which they have been
made is running. When launching the application again, the settings made by going through [Control
Panel]-[Printers] are applied.
The display windows shown in this manual are those available with Windows95/98. They vary according
to the OS in use. Also among the tabs, there are some that are not displayed depending on settings.
You can make the settings of the printer from applications with the exception of the settings on [General], [Details], [Color management] and [Sharing] tabs in the [Konica IP-421 PCL] properties. For
guidance in setting the printer from applications, refer to “Chapter 2 Setup”(page 2-1).

Chapter 5 Scanner
■ Brief Description of the Network Scanner
Original document images scanned into the E-RDH memory from the copier’s RADF or platen glass
are stored on the print controller's hard disk as a TIFF file. During scanning preparation, you can set
such things as enhancement, magnification, resolution, dual page copying, non-image area erasure,
etc.
To scan documents, you must first specify a 4-digit box number on the control panel. This box number
is handled like a folder on the controller's hard disk. The saved file can be read into TWAIN-capable
Windows applications through the network for editing/storage. This process also requires a box number.
Data scanned into the controller's hard disk can be cleared only from computers on the network.

If the ping test fails, check whether the copier’s main power is switched on, and also check the
network cable for proper connection.
If the ping test is successful, go on to step 3.
3.
Check whether the IP router is correctly set.
If it is not correctly set, set it correctly.
If there is no problem in IP router setup, go on to step 4.
4.
Trace the routing to the scanner to check whether there are any error conditions
within the network.
If any error conditions are found, eliminate them.
If no error is found and yet the connection to the scanner cannot be established, contact your service
representative.
