XP1 is Zoran's embedded XHTML-Print interpreter software.
It enables printers and multifunction peripherals (MFPs) to print
from information and imaging appliances such as PDAs,
wireless phones, set-top boxes and digital cameras. IPS XP1
supports the XHTML-Print language, which is adopted by
Bluetooth Basic Printing Profile and Universal Plug and Play
Benefits
• Supports Bluetooth’s Basic Printing Profile (BPP), as XHTML-Print
is the BPP mandatory printing language
• Supports UPnP PrintBasic printing (Wi-Fi), as XHTML-Print is the
PrintBasic mandatory printing language
• Developed specifically for printers and MFPs, to meet their unique
requirements
• Multiple configurations meet the requirements of a wide range of
printing devices, from home inkjet printers to office MFPs
(UPnP) PrintBasic as their standard printing language for non-
PC devices. XP1 can be implemented in home, SOHO and office
inkjet and laser printers and MFPs. IPS XP1 can be
implemented alongside traditional Page Description Languages
(PDLs), such as PCL and PostScript, or can be implemented in
raster-based printing devices.
Key Features
• Supports XHTML-Print, which requires compliance with
subset/superset of XHTML, XHTML Basic, XHML Enhanced, XML,
CSS 1.0, CSS 2.0, CSS 2.1, JPEG, etc.
• Supports industry-leading font renderers and fonts, including
stroke-based Asian fonts, from Monotype Imaging
• Supports print resolutions up to 1800 dpi
• Can stand alone or be combined with the other languages in
IPS–IPS FIVE, IPS PS3, IPS PDFt and IPS XPS–for complete
print functionality
Description
Non-PC Printing
XHTML-Print, defined by the Printer Working Group (PWG), an
affiliate of the IEEE Industry Standards and Technology Organization,
is quickly becoming the standard data format between both
information and imaging appliances and printers both on wired
network (corporate and home) and wireless connections. In fact, the
Mobile Imaging and Printing Consortium selected XHTML-Print as
the mandatory printing language for both Bluetooth BPP and UPnP
PrintBasic (WiFi) printing.
Unlike the traditional PC printing languages, which require PCs to
have printer-specific drivers, appliances and PCs that have an
XHTML-Print data emitter (driver) can print to any printer or MFP with
XHTML-Print capability, allowing the user to print anywhere. A user
may print at a hotel business center, an office conference room or at
a friend’s home, from many different PC and non-PC devices.
XHTML-Print
Zoran's XP1 fully supports XHTML-Print, which requires compliance
with a defined subset and superset of XHTML, XHTML Basic,
XHTML Enhanced, XML, CSS 1.0, CSS 2.0, CSS 2.1 and JPEG.
Web browsers available today are typically designed for PCs with an
abundance of CPU and memory resources, or for small screen
devices with low resolution displays. Zoran has developed its own
XML processor and XHTML engine, as well as other important
components of the XHTML-Print interpreter, in order to meet the
specific requirements of the printing market. These requirements
include limited ROM/RAM space and CPU capability, high printing
05/07-MMCP
resolution, CMYK color space and lack of frame buffer. In doing so,
Zoran drew heavily on our expertise in PCL, PostScript, PDF and
XPS embedded interpreters, as well as our detailed understanding of
Internet Printing Protocol (IPP).
As new types of information and imaging appliances emerge, Zoran's
XHTML-Print interpreter will evolve to accommodate new features.
We are committed to following the evolution of the standard, as we
have tracked PDL standards over the past 15 years.
Available Configurations
XP1 is available in two customizable configurations:
• IPS^TM XP1 Configuration is tightly integrated with Zoran’s IPS,
sharing resources and services provided by the IPS printing
architecture. This configuration is most suitable for office network
printers and MFPs, with full features including PCL, PostScript,
PDF and XPS capabilities and addition to XHTML-Print
functionality
• APS XP1 Configuration does not require any other IPS languages.
It is a complete yet lightweight XHTML-Print interpreting system,
suitable for inkjet and low-end laser printers and MFPs.
For either configuration, Zoran’s XP1 products are provided with
complete source code and comprehensive engineering
documentation to give OEMs maximum flexibility in customizing for
their specific market and product requirements.
