HP 0706124 REV B manual Workflow Overview, Print server RIPs the job

Workflow Overview

When the printer is connected to a ColorMark Pro print server, here is how a typical print job progresses from the client work- station to the printer. If you are using a non-ColorSpan RIP, refer to the documentation that accompanies it for details.

1.The operator sends a file to be printed from a client workstation.

2.The print job is received by the print server.

Once it reaches the print server, the print job may be reprior- itized, combined with other jobs, re-routed, or otherwise manipulated. Refer to the print server online help or manual for instructions.

3.The print server RIPs the job.

The raster image processing (RIP) process translates the PostScript language data that comprises the print job into the data required by the printer.

4.The server sends the image to the printer for printing.
