Description
[1] Digital Image Processing (for PDL input)
• Enlargement/reduction (main/sub scanning direction)
[2] Data transfer control
Relays image signals.
Converts PDL data into a format that can be
processed by the copier.
Page Memory: 18 MB
(equivalent of 4 A4 originals; not compressed)
Stores image data that has been read in sequence.
2 GB (1,920 A4 originals; compressed)
