Benefits

Key Features

The IPS FIVE interpreter from Zoran provides a complete

PCL 5 printing solution for color and monochrome printers and

multifunction peripherals. The interpreter is integrated with

Zoran's rich featured embedded foundation technology—IPS—

enabling OEMs to develop high quality printers and MFPs that

support the PCL 5 printing standard. IPS FIVE supports the

PCL 5e language as implemented in the hp LaserJet 4250 series

of printers and PCL 5C as implemented in the hp Color LaserJet

5500 series. IPS FIVE implements all PCL 5C commands

specified in the Hewlett-Packard PCL 5C Color Technical

Reference Manual and the HP PCL 5 Specification.

Supports Widest Variety Of Applications

IPS FIVE is compatible with the widest range of applications, office

printers and MFPs. Zoran's implementations offer full compatibility to

the Hewlett-Packard standard. A single interpreter can be used to

build either monochrome or color devices—both types of devices

accept color PCL 5 commands for compatibility with newer Hewlett-

Packard printers.

IPS FIVE features sophisticated image processing, memory

management and compression techniques for high quality. IPS FIVE

also features innovative Smart Black technology that offers superior

control of image quality for single-bit CMYK output devices while

maintaining complete compatibility with the PCL 5 language.

Zoran provides complete source code for the IPS FIVE interpreter

and a full set of engineering documentation to allow OEMs to

customize the interpreters for specific market requirements.

IPS FIVE, combined with IPS XLC, provides a complete printing

solution compatible with Hewlett-Packard's PCL 6 as implemented in

the hp LaserJet 4250 series and hp Color LaserJet 5500 series.
