Estimating the term…
A system and method for processing raster data including at least one input computer terminal for creating postscript data, at least one Raster Image Processor, (RIP), for processing the postscript data into raster data, PrintDrive capable of supporting engine data rates well beyond the limitations of the prior art. The present system operates on a general purpose computer platform that runs Windows NT. A method of tracking, queueing, storing and processing raster data utilizing a Graphics User Interface and software which creates virtual engines thereby allowing the entry of job data for print engines that off line. A system and method comprising a raster flat manager based upon a standard PC platform running the Windows NT operating system. A Raster Image Processor, (RIP), sends compressed data to the PrintDrive via Fast Ethernet. PrintDrive software provides buffering of raster data, while also offering a graphical user interface which allows the user to view the jobs on disk, as well as, the ability to manipulate and control the timing and destination of the output jobs.
A system network for creating, storing and processing a plurality of printable image files, said image files containing postscript data, said system network comprising a list of page description data:
A computer workstation for receiving and converting postscript data into rasta data for multiplexing, comprising:
A software processing system for controlling the workflow, storing and processing of raster data, said software system comprising a tunable user interface and a pilot user interface, wherein said tunable user interface further includes,
