Glossary
CPSI
Configurable PostScript Interpreter. This Adobe Level 3 PostScript Interpreter
runs on a Macintosh server rather than on a hardware peripheral device.
StylusRIP Professional uses this interpreter to render a raster image.
EPS
Encapsulated PostScript. This is a file type that may contain complex graphics.
It is designed as a universal format to include complex graphics in other
applications.
FPU
Floating Point Unit. A chip capable of executing operations with real numbers.
ICC
International Color Consortium. A consortium of operating-sytem vendors that
has agreed to a standard color matching sytem for device profiles.
Imaging device
A device capable of printing a raster image on a physical medium, for example,
a printer, imagesetter, or digital film recorder.
Interpreter
A set of software functions that convert PostScript language commands into a
raster image. StylusRIP Professional uses the CPSI interpreter.
OPI
Open Prepress Interface. A set of PostScript language commands for defining
and specifying the placement of images.
PostScript
An interpretive computer language developed by Adobe that describes the text,
graphics, and image content of a document to a printer or other output device.
PostScript is hardware, software, and network independent so your images
always appear the way you want them to.
PSPrinter driver
A printer driver used by an application to create a PostScript file.
Raster image
A digital representation of an image, consisting of values that are assigned to,
and represent, each dot in an image.
Render
The process by which PostScript language commands are interpreted and a raster
image is produced.
