System overview

The Xerox CX print server, powered by Creo Color Server Technology, is an on-demand prepress system that uses advanced prepress technologies to drive the Xerox Color 550/560 Printer.

The CX print server enables you to print from computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system and Apple Mac OS operating system software. Using raster image processor (RIP) technology, the CX print server converts image files in page- description language (PDL) formats—for example, Adobe PostScript, PDF, and variable data printing formats—to a suitable ready-to-print (RTP) format for direct high-quality digital printing. The CX print server also streamlines the printing process by allowing you to print with preset workflows.

In combination with the printer, the CX print server enables you to efficiently print business cards, print flyers, brochures, pamphlets, catalogs, short-run trials, and print-on-demand publications.

The CX print server combines RIP functionalities, automation, control tools, and special hardware development capabilities with Windows-based architecture.

The CX print server supports the Xerox Extensible Interface Platform (EIP), acting as an intermediary between custom EIP applications and the press.
