Peerless Systems Announces Color Design Win with Kyocera FS-5900C.EL SEGUNDO El Segundo (ĕl sēgŭn`dō), industrial city (1990 pop. 15,223), Los Angeles co., S Calif., on Santa Monica Bay; inc. 1917. Its products include navigation and computer systems, aircraft parts, office machines, telephone apparatus, and , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 5, 1999-- PeerlessPage(TM)Imaging Environment and QuickPrint(R) ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. Enable High Performance, High Quality, Affordable Color Peerless Systems(TM) Corporation (Nasdaq:PRLS PRLS Puerto Rican and Latino Studies (program of study) ), a leader in embedded imaging and networking systems, today announced that its PeerlessPage(R) Object-Based Imaging System, Peerless QuickPrint(R)1800 acceleration coprocessor coprocessor Additional processor used in some personal computers to perform specialized tasks such as extensive arithmetic calculations or processing of graphical displays. and PeerlessPrint(R)5C, color PCL (Printer Command Language) The page description language for HP LaserJet printers. It has become a de facto standard used in many printers and typesetters. PCL Level 5, introduced with the LaserJet III in 1990, also supports Compugraphic's Intellifont scalable fonts. emulation have been selected for use in the FS_5900C color desktop printer recently announced by Kyocera Electronics Europe. Use of the Peerless technology will allow the FS-5900C to deliver high performance, high quality color printing “colour separation” redirects here. For other uses, see colour-separation overlay. Color printing is the reproduction of an image or text in color (as opposed to simpler black and white or monochrome printing). at affordable pricing. The FS-5900C, an update to the previously announced FS-5800C, is the second PeerlessPowered(TM) Kyocera color laser product. "We are very pleased with the introduction of the FS-5900C and our continued partnership with Peerless," said Thomas Schafers, product marketing manager at Kyocera Electronics Europe. "Our strategic licensing of Peerless' customizable color technology has enabled us to bring a highly competitive color laser product to the market quickly. We are looking forward to growing our share of the color laser market with this product." The FS-5900C utilizes a controller design based upon the PeerlessPage Object-Based Imaging model and incorporates a Peerless QuickPrint 1800 acceleration coprocessor to deliver high performance, high quality color printing. The imaging model streamlines the printing process by selecting the optimal rendering technique for each object on the page (text, image, graphic) and storing the object in its own natural form without time consuming compression / decompression processes. As a result, the speed is dramatically increased and storage requirements are vastly reduced. The QuickPrint 1800 coprocessor works with the PowerPC 740/200 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. processor, to provide a high performance concurrent processing See multiprocessing. Concurrent processing The simultaneous execution of several interrelated computer programs. A sequential computer program consists of a series of instructions to be executed one after another. architecture for faster overall performance. The FS-5900C features Peerless' Windows(TM) drivers, as well as the flexibility and versatility of Peerless' PeerlessPrint 5C, to offer complete compatibility with HP's PCL languages. Peerless' modular driver architecture enables quick time-to-market and provides many standard and special features including n-up printing, watermarks and support for a wide range of paper sizes and engine features. Peerless' popular family of PeerlessPrint(TM) products are designed for ease of customization, sophisticated paper handling, and cross-platform development for a variety of engine types. "We are very pleased to join Kyocera in introducing another competitive color laser desktop printer product to the European market," said Ron Davis, vice president of Marketing and Product Planning at Peerless. "Kyocera has successfully launched multiple products since 1992 by building their market-specific technologies using Peerless' core imaging software and we are excited at growing our partnership in the color printing market." The FS-5900C is a 4 page per minute (ppm) color printer and 16 ppm monochrome color desktop printer with 600 and 1200 dpi resolutions. It offers three language emulations: PeerlessPrint 5C (color PCL emulation), PostScript and Kyocera's own PRESCRIBE IIC See infranet. . Additionally, the FS-5900C offers optional networking support of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet or TokenRing, as well as an optional 2GB hard disk for spooling (Simultaneous Peripheral Operations OnLine) The overlapping of low-speed operations with normal processing. Spooling originated with mainframes in order to optimize slow operations such as reading cards and printing. jobs, making it the ideal color printing solution for networked offices. The FS-5900C is now shipping and is targeted for the European market. About Peerless Systems Peerless Systems is a leading provider of software-based embedded imaging and networking systems to original equipment manufacturers of digital document products. Digital document products include printers, copiers, fax machines, scanners and color products, as well as multifunction products that perform a combination of these imaging functions. In order to process digital text and graphics, digital document products rely on a core set of imaging software and supporting electronics, collectively known as an embedded imaging system. Embedded networking systems supply the core software technologies to digital document products that enable them to communicate over local area networks and the Internet. The Peerless family of products and engineering services provides advanced embedded imaging and networking technologies that enable the company's OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and customers to develop digital printers, copiers and multifunction products quickly and cost-effectively. The Peerless Systems Networking subsidiary provides comprehensive software products and engineering services to office peripheral OEMs to support networking in their products.
