System overview
The Xerox CX print server, powered by Creo Color Server
Technology, is an on-demand prepress system that uses
advanced prepress technologies to drive the Xerox Color 550/560
Printer.
The CX print server enables you to print from computers running
the Microsoft Windows operating system and Apple Mac OS
operating system software. Using raster image processor (RIP)
technology, the CX print server converts image files in page-
description language (PDL) formats—for example, Adobe
PostScript, PDF, and variable data printing formats—to a suitable
ready-to-print (RTP) format for direct high-quality digital printing.
The CX print server also streamlines the printing process by
allowing you to print with preset workflows.
In combination with the printer, the CX print server enables you to
efficiently print business cards, print flyers, brochures, pamphlets,
catalogs, short-run trials, and print-on-demand publications.
The CX print server combines RIP functionalities, automation,
control tools, and special hardware development capabilities with
Windows-based architecture.
The CX print server supports the Xerox Extensible Interface
Platform (EIP), acting as an intermediary between custom EIP
applications and the press.
