How the ColorPASS operates

The ColorPASS enables the customer to use a copier as a printer and scanner. Users can print to the ColorPASS from networked PCs running Microsoft Windows, from networked Mac OS computers, and from networked UNIX workstations running TCP/IP.

The custom-designed boards and system software of the ColorPASS are responsible for efficient image processing and printing controls. The main functions of components and software are described in the following paragraphs.

The ColorPASS uses specialized circuit boards, the motherboard, and the copier interface board to process image data for printing and scanning images.

The motherboard includes a 2GHz CPU that controls the image data transfer to and from the copier interface board and runs the interpreter. The interpreter rasterizes the page description file and then compresses the image pattern into memory.

The interpreter sends compressed raster data through the image frame buffer memory to the copier interface board. The copier interface board decompresses the image data and sends it to the copier through the copier interface cable. The raster data supplied to the laser in the copier charges the drum and renders the final image on paper at full copier speed.

High-speed DIMMs (dual in-line memory modules) on the motherboard hold the image data during printing. The ColorPASS is configured with two 256MB DIMMs for a total of 512MB of memory.

When Fiery Scan uses the copier as a scanner, the ColorPASS acquires red, green, and blue (RGB) image data from the copier, stores it in memory, and transmits it to the computer that requested the scan.
