1 Features
The ColorPASS Color Server adds computer connectivity and highly efficient Adobe
PostScript 3 color printing capability to color copiers. It is optimized for high-speed net-
work communications, processing, rasterization, and printing of continuous tone color and
monochrome pages.
The ColorPASS, as an integral part of a color printing system, enables users to:
• Send images over AppleTalk, TCP/IP, and Novell networks to print on ColorPASS sup-
ported devices.
• Spool print jobs and select a printing priority for each job. Users can control spooled
print jobs sent to the ColorPASS with remote user software running on networked PC
and Mac OS computers.
• Print files in color, grayscale, and black and white.
• Use the copier as a high-resolution color scanner with Fiery Scan software.
• Use 136 resident PostScript fonts (126 Adobe Type 1 PostScript, and 10 TrueType),
plus two Adobe Multiple Master fonts used for font substitution when printing PDF
files. Fiery Downloader or any third-party LaserWriter downloader, such as the Adobe
Font Downloader, can be used to download additional fonts.
• Use built-in ColorWise™ color management and NetWise™ network features.
