• Connectivity: The HP DesignJet 800PS printer includes PostScript drivers for Macintosh and Windows and
HP-GL/2
drivers for AutoCad® and Windows. In addition, the printer includes USB and Parallel ports and a
powerful HP JetDirect 10/100 Base-TX network card. Using the network card, the data from the graphic
professional’s computer is transferred to the “virtual computer”, an internal PostScript RIP, within the
HP DesignJet 800PS printer and immediately frees the data from the computer while processing it quickly.
• Speed: The HP DesignJet 800PS printer delivers speeds of 85ft
2
/hour and color images on glossy media are
printed up to two times faster than its predecessor the, the HP DesignJet 700 series printers. Because the
printer contains a virtual computer and printing is continuous, data is received by the network card and quickly
processes and prints using embedded processors and large memory (160MB RAM and 6GB hard disk)
included within the printer.
• Complementary Media Program (CMP): The CMP helps HP customers grow their businesses by referencing third-
party printing material choices to ensure maximum HP DesignJet printer flexibility and printing solutions.
