Formatter-control system
The formatter is responsible for the following procedures:
Controlling sleep mode
Receiving and processing print data from the various product interfaces
Monitoring control-panel functions and relaying product-status information (through the control
panel and the network or bidirectional interface)
Developing and coordinating data placement and timing with the DC controller PCA
Storing font information
Communicating with the host computer through the network or the bidirectional interface
The formatter receives a print job from the network or bidirectional interface and separates it into image
information and instructions that control the printing process. The DC controller PCA synchronizes the
image-formation system with the paper-input and -output systems, and then signals the formatter to
send the print-image data.
The formatter also provides the electrical interface and mounting locations for an additional DIMM.
Sleep mode
NOTE:
In the
System Setup
menu, this item is termed
Sleep Delay
.
This feature conserves power after the product has been idle for an adjustable period of time. When the
product is in
Sleep Delay
, the control-panel backlight is turned off, but the product retains all settings,
downloaded fonts, and macros. The default setting is for
Sleep Delay
to be enabled, and the product
enters
Sleep Delay
after a 30-minute idle time.
The product exits
Sleep Delay
and enters the warm-up cycle when any of the following events occur:
A print job, valid data, or a PML or PJL command is received
A control-panel button is pressed
A cover is opened
A paper tray is opened
The engine-test switch is pressed
NOTE:
Product error messages override the Sleep message. The product enters
Sleep Delay
at the
appropriate time, but the error message continues to appear.
Input/output
The product has two I/O interfaces:
A USB 2.0 port for connecting directly to a computer
An internal 10/100Base-T network port.
