Xerox's Parallel Printer Architecture
One of Xerox's announcements at Graph Expo is a new dual-engine printer platform:
The new parallel printer architecture, developed at the company's research center in Webster, N.Y., and at its Palo Alto Research Center, delivers the power of two printers with the simplicity of one. Similar to the way parallel architectures for data storage and processors have revolutionized the IT industry, this new parallel printer design will deliver unsurpassed productivity and reliability to the digital printing industry.
Parallel printer architecture is the software and hardware that enable two print engines to work together seamlessly as one printer device. This architecture also makes the printer smart enough, depending upon the circumstances, to allow each individual engine to work independently. This flexibility allows commercial printing and graphic arts customers to take full advantage of the dual-engine system.
At the heart of the new parallel printer architecture is a set of core technologies Xerox is calling tightly integrated parallel printing or TIPP.
Dual-Engine Nuvera
The first Xerox print system to take advantage of Xerox's tightly integrated parallel printing technology is the Xerox Dual-Engine Nuvera. which is being shown on the trade show floor.
Dale Allen, Product Marketing Manager, Xerox Nuvera product line shows off the new Dual-Engine Nuvera at Graph Expo.
The new Dual-Engine Nuvera prints at 288 pages per minute (or 144 duplex pages) at 4800 x 600dpi. The system will be available 2007
