Xerox DocuColor 12 Printer with Fiery X12 产品宣传页

 

Specific terms are explained as they are introduced. However, the following general 
terms are used throughout:

•

 

—A computer language designed as a page description language. The 

Fiery uses this language for imaging the page and for communication with 
applications and with the print engine.

The term “PostScript” can also be used to refer to PDF data jobs. PDF is a 
structured form of PostScript that provides the ability to preview, scale, and reorder 
pages. Where applicable, the term “PDF” is specifically used to refer to PDF data or 
jobs.

•

 

A computer language designed as a page 

description language. The Fiery uses this language for imaging the page and for 
communication with applications and with the print engine.

•

 

—A file consisting of PostScript or PCL commands and comments that describe 

the graphics, sampled images, and text that should appear on each page of a 
document, and the printer options that should be used in printing, such as media or 
color rendering style.

•

 

—Write to a disk. Usually used in this manual to refer to a PostScript or PCL 

print job being saved to the Fiery hard disk in preparation for processing and 
printing.

•

 

—Acronym for raster image processing, which changes text and graphics 

commands into descriptions of each mark on a page. In common use as a noun, a 
“raster image processor” (RIP) is the computer processor that performs this function.

•

 

—The process of rendering, or imaging, a page or a job on a printer.

These concepts can explain how the Fiery and the copier work together as a powerful 
printing system. The Fiery RIP changes text and graphics commands in PostScript or 
PCL into color specifications for each dot of toner deposited on a page by the copier.
