Printing Methods
Methods for printing with the IC-309m print controller:
● Submit the job to one of the IC-309m print controller virtual
printers. The job is spooled, analyzed, and then processed or
printed (according to the selected job flow of the virtual printer).
If you use this method, you can print from any software (for
example, Adobe Acrobat) and use any file format from any
Windows and Mac computer.
● Drag the job to a hot folder. The job is spooled, analyzed, and
then processed or printed (according to the selected job flow of
the corresponding virtual printer). If you use the hot folder
method, you can print most PDL files (for example, PostScript,
PDF, EPS, Variable Print Specification, and PPML).
● Drag Microsoft Office files to a special hot folder and then
submit the files for printing.
Network printers
To print your file using a IC-309m print controller virtual printer, you
first need to install the virtual printer as a network printer on your
computer.
After you install a network printer on your computer, you can
submit files for printing. By default, the network printers are
installed with the Print Driver software. You can change the default
settings of the network printer to use the PPD parameters instead
of the Print Driver software.
The IC-309m print controller supports printing from the following
operating systems:
● Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Microsoft Windows Server
2003, Microsoft Windows 7, Microsoft Windows Vista, and
Microsoft Windows XP
The IC-309m print controller provides default network printers,
referred to here as virtual printers.
