About the imagePRESS Server

The imagePRESS Server embeds computer connectivity and highly efficient PostScript and PCL printing capacity into the
imagePRESS C165 Series.
With the imagePRESS Server, customers can use the printer as a PostScript and PCL printer, and scanner, and it provides
efficient image processing and printing controls. Once it is connected to the printer through a network, customers can print to the
imagePRESS Server from supported client computers on the network (Windows or Mac, or a UNIX workstation running TCP/IP).
The imagePRESS Server ships with system software pre-installed so that customers can use the imagePRESS Server
immediately. However, as part of servicing the imagePRESS Server, you may need to reinstall system software.
