Compile-ahead technology keeps all of your printer's resources busy
to improve throughput. While the engine is printing a page, compile-
ahead technology uses available printer memory to prepare the sub-
sequent pages of the document (or the next job). With pages ready in
memory, the engine continues printing as it deposits printed pages in
the output tray. (In other words, compiling, rasterizing, and printing all
work independently but simultaneously.)
User Benefit—Because print job processing time is significantly
reduced, you spend less time waiting for your documents to print.
Other printers may have multiple interface ports, but your QMS magi-
color CX printer is unique because SIO allows all of its interface ports
to be active at the same time.
User Benefit—You can have more than one computer printing to the
printer. Each interface has an input buffer (which may be expanded
with additional memory) that receives data while another interface is
being used to print.
Most printers can recognize only their native command language.
However, using a form of artificial intelligence, ESP technology ana-
lyzes incoming file data from any of the printer's interfaces, selects
the appropriate emulation from those installed on the printer, and pro-
cesses the print job.
User Benefit—When your printer is in ESP mode, you can easily
print PostScript, HP PCL 5C, HP-GL, and Lineprinter documents with-
out changing printer switch settings or sending software commands
to accommodate different printer languages.
