    CRD is a table that is used to convert RGB (Red, Green, Blue) output from application software, such as Adobe Photoshop, into CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black). According to the media type, four different CRDs are included in the PS-7000 firmware as listed below.

The ICC profile is downloaded into the RAM of the PS-7000 by the PS driver. (4) With the CRD selected, RGB data from the application software are converted into CMYK data.

  • Page 56: Miscellaneous

    With the PS-7000, mixed use of the OCF fonts and CID fonts is supported, and thus rich resources of OCF fonts can be utilized. The CID format has precedence over the OCF format for the same font. The Roman fonts installed in the PS-7000 ROM are the OCF fonts, and there is no CID Roman font at present.
  • Page 57 Landscape or vice versa), will delay printing. It is because the rotation with the driver will expand the graphics data on the HDD of the PS-7000, not on the RAM where usual data expansion is performed. Data expansion on the HDD will take extremely longer time than on the RAM.

  • Page 60 4.2. Network connection (1) PS-7000 or AXIS as the printer server Available connection is given in the table below. If the print command is received from multiple client machines at the same time, only the first one is performed and the others are responded as an error to the respective clients, because the printer server is busy.
  • Page 61 When the printer server is the Windows95/98 platform which is directly connected by Centronics or is connected by a network to the printers (BJ-W7000, PS-7000, AXIS), printers can be shared on the Microsoft network (NetBEUI). However, if the printer server is connected to the AXIS or to the PS-7000 by the network, the software such as LPR module, Pnconfig, etc., is required on the printer server side.
  • Page 62 If the printer drivers are installed in the printer server, there is no need to install the printer driver in the client machines. If the printer server is connected to the AXIS or to the PS-7000, PNCONFIG must be installed in the printer server. (LPR is not necessary to be installed, as it is included in OS.) The printer driver(s) are necessary to be installed in the client machine, only when they are not installed in the printer server.
