RISC processors are optimized for particular functions, unlike general purpose processors. They are designed to complete those functions in one (1) clock cycle rather than several, thus speeding up their performance. The EPL-7500 uses the Weitek XL-8200 series 32-bit RISC processor (8 MHz), which has been optimized for use in printer controllers. The application of this processor in an Adobe PostScript printer dramatically speeds up data through-put when printing complex pages. The term "through-put" refers to the time that a printer requires to process and print a page. 5. Q. What are the product codes for the EPL-7500 options and supplies? A.
