Product Brief
Description (continued)
IPS Zx Renderer
Specifications
The IPS Zx client-side high-resolution, continuous-tone renderer
can be easily integrated into an existing driver using the Zx
rendering plug-in or can be implemented in a new driver using the
Zx SDK. This renderer creates contone Zx data streams at a rate of
hundreds of pages per minute on standard PCs. These data
streams and can be transmitted quickly to networked devices. In
addition, as resolution and bit depth increase, the size of the Zx
data streams increases at a much lower rate compared to
traditional raster solutions, allowing for quick transmission at even
the highest resolution and bit depth settings.
Print Resolutions
• 600 dpi, 1200 dpi, 2400 dpi
Bit Depths
• 1, 2, 4, 8, 26, and 32-bit per primary pixel depths
Embedded Minimum Memory Requirements
• 64 MB RAM
Host Operating Systems
• Microsoft Windows 9x, 2000, XP
IPS Zx Interpreter
The IPS Zx interpreter is integrated into Zoran’s powerful and
flexible foundation technology—(IPS)—to offer a total solution for
high performance printers and multifunction peripherals. The
interpreter can be embedded into controllers running other PDLs
with no increased footprint. In addition, the interpreter can be
embedded into controllers dedicated to raster printing with minimal
CPU, ROM, and RAM requirements. IPS Zx requires no
specialized decoding hardware on the controller, allowing for
efficient controller processing and simple design.
• Macintosh 10.2 and up
Paper Size
• Executive, letter, legal, ledger, A3, A4, B4, B5, envelope, others
Quality Assurance
• QualityLogic ATS
Performance Measurement
• QualityLogic PageSense 4.2
The IPS Zx interpreter offers the fastest raster solution available,
printing at rated engine speed for nearly all documents. Color and
monochrome laser printers and multifunction peripherals of nearly
any speed are not limited by the interpreter’s speed while
processing Zx data streams.

Zoran's Engineering Support Program provides direct software
integration assistance and design recommendations to optimize
the quality, feature set and performance of the interface between
the Zx interpreter and the controller. In addition the program
provides assistance and design recommendations to optimize the
features and UI of a driver developed using the Zx SDK. OEMs
can also work with a Zoran-authorized development partner. These
companies have experience in Zoran's IPS integration and can
offer fixed-cost, turnkey controller development or consulting for a
range of controller and driver configurations and print engines.
