Interfacing with a Computer
(Optional for the RN20 Series Models)
Your RISOGRAPH can be interfaced with personal computers (Windows and
Macintosh) in two ways: by directly connecting a computer printer cable to them (local
connection mode) and over the public telecommunication line (remote transmission
mode).
The network enhancement is also available as optional.
For detailed description about operations with personal computers, see the section
"Computer Interface Guides".
☞ p.77
The optional Network Interface Card RISORINC2-NET-A is required to
connect your RISOGRAPH to Macintosh.
The dedicated interface control boxes are also connectable to the RN20
series models.
☞ p.122
When the RISOGRAPH is processing PC document data,
the PC data mode basic window appears in the Main
Display.
In this window, you can print out the document data sent
from the personal computers.
The data processing status of the PC data mode is also
indicated in the standard (Scan data mode) basic window,
allowing you to check if any PC document data is waiting
to be printed out in the PC data mode, during operation in
the Scan data mode.
If you want to print out the waiting PC document data, in
this case, press the Data Source Selection key in the Sub
control panel and open the PC data mode basic window.
When the PC data mode basic window appears
in the Main Display, you cannot make copies of
originals.
If you want to make copies of originals, in this
case, press the Data Source Selection key in the
Sub control panel and change the window in the
Main Display.
