System overview 3 ○ AFP file format support (FSM mode) ○ CMOCA-Supports full color management for AFP/IPDS System overview The IC-309 print controller, powered by Creo Server Technology, for the Konica Minolta bizhub PRESS C1070/C1070P/C1060 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 bizhub PRESS C1070/C1070P/C1060. The IC-309 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-309 print controller performs pre-RIP preflight on each file that is imported to the IC-309 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 high-quality digital printing. The IC-309 print controller also streamlines the printing process by allowing you to print with preset workflows. In combination with the printer, the IC-309 print controller enables you to efficiently print business cards, print flyers, brochures, pamphlets, catalogs, short-run trials, and print-on-demand publications. The IC-309 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-309 print controller supports transactional printing using the IPDS workflow including bidirectional communication with an IPDS host. You can configure the IC-309 print controller to either: ● File submission mode, which enables you to print from any computer, import and process all the supported file formats, apply and edit the job parameters, and manage your files. ● IPDS mode, which enables you to process and print IPDS jobs from the IPDS host computer. In IPDS mode you can apply and edit the IPDS printer parameters.
