How the ColorPASS operates
The ColorPASS enables the customer to use the copier as a high-performance, networked
PostScript color printer and scanner. Users at the customer site can print to the ColorPASS
from networked Windows computers, Mac OS computers, and networked UNIX
workstations running TCP/IP.
The ColorPASS custom-designed boards and system software provide efficient image
processing and printing controls.
The motherboard includes an Intel Core i5-660 3.3GHz CPU that controls the image data
transfer to and from the motherboard and runs the interpreter. The interpreter rasterizes the
page description file and compresses the image pattern into memory using compression
technology.
High-speed DIMMs (dual in-line memory modules) on the motherboard hold the image data
during printing. The ColorPASS is configured with two 1GB DIMMs, for a total of 2GB of
memory.
When Fiery Scan uses the copier as a scanner, the ColorPASS acquires RGB (red, green, and
blue) image data from the copier, stores it in memory, and transmits it to the computer that
requested the scan.
