LIST OF TERMS
Several terms having special meaning within the context of this manual are listed
below.
CPSI
Configurable PostScript Interpreter. This Adobe Level 2
PostScript interpreter runs on a Macintosh server rather
than on a hardware peripheral device. PowerRIP uses this
interpreter to render a raster image.
FPU
Framing
Floating Point Unit. A chip capable of executing
operations with real numbers. The FPU may be built
in or available as an add on to the main CPU. [In the
Macintosh computer, the FPU is either a separate MC
68881
processor or is built into the main processor
(MC 68040 or PPC
60
l)].
The process by which a complete raster image of a page is
created in memory prior to output to an imaging device.
If the available memory is sufficient, then PowerRIP will
frame a page. Since disk spooling of bands is unnecessary,
framing is usually faster than banding.
Imaging Device
A device capable of printing a raster image on a physical
medium, e.g., a printer, imagesetter, digital film recorder,
ink jet printer, etc.
Interpreter
A set of software functions to convert PostScript language
operators and operands into a raster image. PowerRIP uses
the CPSI interpreter.
Job
A file containing PostScript language operators and
operands residing in a Jobs folder and listed in either the
Pre-Print Queue or the Post-Print Queue.
Jobs Folder
A folder containing a PowerRIP printer file and all jobs for
that printer. Jobs to be printed are in the Jobs folder; jobs
already printed are in the Printed Files subfolder of the
Jobs folder.
