System overview 3 ○ AFP file format support (FSM mode) ○ CMOCA-Supports full color management for AFP/IPDS System overview The IC-309m2 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-309m2 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-309m2 print controller performs pre-RIP preflight on each file that is imported to the IC-309m2 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 highquality digital printing. The IC-309m2 print controller also streamlines the printing process by allowing you to print with preset workflows. The IC-309m2 print controller submits jobs to the printer in PDF format using JDF/JMF protocol. IC-309m2 preset workflows and full bidirectional JDF/JMF communication between the IC-309m2 print controller and the printer enables maximum efficiency and streamlining of the printing process. The IC-309m2 print controller enables the efficient printing of flyers, brochures, pamphlets, catalogs, short-run trials, and printon-demand publications. When installed as a fast network printer with the IC-309m2 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 11inches) simplex pages per minute, on different media types and weights. The IC-309m2 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-309m2 print controller supports transactional printing using the IPDS workflow including bidirectional communication with an IPDS host. You can configure the IC-309m2 print controller to either:
