Fujitsu C145-C037-01EN Product Description page 19

Images are printed using an electrographic process:
The laser unit, modulated by video signals, sends light to the photoconductive drum and generates a latent
electrostatic image that is converted to a toner image in the print unit. The paper attracts the toner image from
the photoconductive drum, and the image is transferred to the paper.
Heat generated by the heat roller fuses the transferred toner image to the paper, and the paper is ejected to the
stacker.
The photoconductive drum is then cleaned for the next printing.
The above operations are continuous and enables uninterrupted quality printing.
(2) Controller
The controller controls the interfaces to the computer, mechanism controller, and control panel.
(3) Control panel and MarkVision/PPMENU
The control panel has LED indicators, LCD, and push-button switches. The LED indicators display basic
printer status, for example, whether the printer is online, whether the power supply is on, and whether an error
has occurred. The LCD shows status or error messages by characters. The push-button switches control printer
operation, for example, resetting the printer and printing a status report.
The printer setup can be changed using the control panel (in menu mode). It can also be changed remotely
using the printer utility programs, MarkVision™ and PPMENU.
See Chapter 4 for details on control panel operation and MarkVision/PPMENU.
(4) Interfaces
Two bi-directional Centronics parallel interfaces and an RS-232C serial interface are standard. Other interfaces
are available as an accessory. See Chapter 5 for details.
(5) Memory Expansion cards
The RAM card is used to expand the resident RAM memory (8 MB) to download soft fonts or to process more
data.
The RAM card is a SIMM type board and its memory capacity is 4M, 8M, 16M, or 32M bytes. RAM cards are
installed to the top and middle SIMM connectors on the controller board. So, up to 64 MB can be added.
(6) Emulation card (not available currently)
The emulation card is used to add a printer emulation.
The emulation card is a SIMM type board and is installed to the bottom SIMM connector on the controller
board.
