PostScript-capable CPU’s built into printers. Also, RIP operation is interleaved
with the action of the printing mechanism so that in the midst of printing jobs,
pages can be “rasterized ahead.” In the use of imaging applications with
PostScript controllers, an image must be completely transmitted to the printer
before the printer actually starts printing. PShop instead relies on its host-resident
fonts to remedy the printing delays and network bandwidth consumption that are
typical of printer-resident PostScript controllers.
Media waste is avoided and greater throughput is achieved by a unique feature in
PShop that automatically restarts interrupted jobs at the page where they left off.
In summary, the Vividata PShop printing eases printer installation and enhances
user productivity. PShop also provides UNIX printing integration for stand-alone
and networked printing support. The PShop package includes a software RIP
with its complement of 35 premium fonts, UNIX network printing support files,
device drivers, special scripts and other support files. Procedures for installation,
use, administration and Vividata support are also included with PShop.
