Overview The industry-leading IPS PS3 interpreter, based on Zorans powerful embedded foundation technologyIPSprovides PostScript 3 compatibility for color and monochrome printers and multifunction peripherals (MFPs). IPS PS3 enables OEMs to develop high-quality peripherals that support the PostScript 3 standard. IPS PS3 supports the PostScript language as implemented in color and monochrome products from Hewlett-Packard and Xerox. The software also supports the PostScript operators specified in the PostScript Language Reference Manual, Third Edition and provides additional functionality available in popular print controllers for color copiers and MFPs.

Benefits

Key Features
Provides a high quality PostScript 3 compatible printing solution for color and monochrome devices Source code availability provides design flexibility and facilitates value-added customization Value-added color and grayscale halftone screening technologies enhance printed output Integrated with Zorans OneImage common display list technology to support multi-bit and contone output devices
Offers the greatest compatibility with Hewlett-Packard printers Supports Monotype Imaging UFST 6.3 (MicroType 2 and MicroType 3), Bitstream Font Fusion Printing 3.0 fonts and UTF-8 encoding Supports variable print resolutions up to 1800 dpi Can be combined with the other languages in IPSIPS FIVE, IPS XLC, IPS PDFt and IPS XPSfor complete print functionality
Description Scalable Software Design IPS PS3 implements an extensible graphics kernel and is designed for maximum portability to operate with virtually any CPU architecture, memory configuration and I/O interface. This scalable software design supports a wide range of printer price and performance targets. Zoran provides complete source code for the IPS PS3 interpreter and a full set of engineering documentation to allow OEMs to customize the interpreters for specific market requirements. The interpreters are integrated with Zorans rich-featured foundation technologyIPSto offer a total solution for high performance print and multifunction peripheral controllers. With its layered architecture, application programming interface (API) and common display list model, IPS reduces time-to-market and development costs. Image Quality Enhancements IPS PS3 features patented color and grayscale image screening technologies that enhance the printed PostScript image. Color image quality is enhanced by functions to allow black overprint (avoids registration errors), pure black (optimizes text, graphics and image output quality), named color matching (used with illustration applications), native ICC profile support (simplifies color calibration) and press simulation. Optional support for JBIG2 and JPEG 2000 compression reduces file sizes. Zoran Engineering Support Services Zoran offers Source Code Maintenance and Engineering Support Programs that can shorten development cycles and ensure that the latest PostScript language features are available as new controllers are developed. The IPS PS3 source code license includes technical support, software integration training and source code maintenance. The Source Code Maintenance Program provides extended source code maintenance and technical consulting, including informative technical bulletins and software patches and updates. Zorans Engineering Support Program provides direct software integration assistance and design recommendations to optimize the interface between the PostScript-compatible interpreter and the controller. OEMs can also work with a Zoran-authorized development partner. These companies have experience in IPS PS3 software integration and can offer fixed-cost, turnkey controller development for a range of controller configurations and print engines.
