4. Q. What is a RISC processor and what are its advantages?
A. RISC stands for “Reduced Instruction Set Computer”. RISC processors
are optimized for particular functions, unlike general purpose processors.
They are designed to complete those functions in one (1) clock cycle
rather than several, thus speeding up their performance. The EPL-7500
uses the Weitek XL-8200 series 32-bit RISC processor (8 MHz), which
has been optimized for use in printer controllers. The application of this
processor in an Adobe PostScript printer dramatically speeds up data
through-put when printing complex pages. The term “through-put” refers
to the time that a printer requires to process and print a page.
