2.2.Controller

2.2.1.Purpose

The controller provides both network and direct-connect external interfaces, and enables copy, print, email, network scan and LanFAX functionality. Network scanning and LanFAX are standard features. The controller also incorporates a proprietary web server that exports a Web User Interface (WebUI) through which users can submit jobs and check job and machine status, and through which system administrators can remotely administer the machine.

The controller contains the image path, which uses proprietary hardware and algorithms to process the scanned images into high-quality reproductions. Scanned images may be temporarily buffered in DRAM to enable electronic pre-collation, sometimes referred to as scan-once/print-many. When producing multiple copies of a document, the scanned image is processed and buffered in the DRAM in a proprietary format. The buffered bitmaps are then read from DRAM and sent to the Image Output Terminal (IOT) for marking on hardcopy output. For long documents, the production of hardcopy may begin before the entire original is scanned, achieving a level of concurrency between the scan and mark operations.

The controller operating system is pSOS v2.5. The controller works with the User Interface (UI) assembly to provide system configuration functions. A System Administrator PIN must be entered at the UI in order to access these functions.
