2. When you print from a Node or Client workstation, the Splash printer driver
sends the PostScript code over the network to the Splash Server. Large files
take longer to transfer—the length of the transfer depends on file size and
network traffic.
Splash allows multiple jobs to be received off the network simultaneously.
3. The Splash Server spools (temporarily stores) the intermediate PostScript
files on the hard disk where the Server application is located.
When you print from the Splash Server, the PostScript code is immediately
spooled and queued on the Splash Server hard disk.
4. The Server application uses true Adobe PostScript code to calculate, pixel-by-
pixel, the image that will be generated by the printer. This is called Raster
Image Processing (RIP).
5. If Splash Color Correction is enabled, the Splash Server application corrects
the color of the printed output to match the screen image of the selected
display type or to match the standard process ink colors used by commercial
printing presses. If both RGB and CMYK colors are present in the same
document, Splash color corrects separately for both color types.
6. The file is sent to the printer/copier, where it is printed.
