3 HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series print driver (Host-based raster driver) The HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series printer is a host-based device. Host-based printing differs from PCL printing by rendering the print job on the host computer rather than on the device formatter. As a host-based printing system, the HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series printer drivers use the Windows operating system to convert the graphics device interface (GDI) or device driver interface (DDI) calls from software programs into JBIG (standard-compression) compressed pages. These pages are sent in "chunks" through the driver to the device formatter. The HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series printer drivers also receive status messages from the formatter firmware. These messages are passed to the Status Application, which displays them. The HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series formatter has 16 MB of random access memory (RAM). Both the firmware and the compressed page must fit into the amount of RAM installed in the printer. HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series Print Driver ENWW 63
