Emulation Sensing Processor (ESP) Technology
Emulation Sensing Processor technology. Using a form of artificial intelli-
gence, ESP technology analyzes incoming file data from any of your
printer's interfaces, selects the appropriate printer language from those
installed on the printer, and processes the print job. ESP technology works
with most popular commercially available applications.
Ethernet Network
Developed by Xerox, Ethernet is a local area network that uses coaxial
