About the E-42B
The E-42B adds computer connectivity and highly efficient Adobe PostScript 3 color printing
capability to the copier/printer. It is optimized for high-speed network communications,
processing, rasterization, and printing of color and black-and-white pages.
As an integral part of a color printing system, the E-42B enables users to:
• Send images over TCP/IP networks to E-42B-supported devices.
• Spool print jobs and select a printing priority for each job. Users can control spooled print
jobs sent to the E-42B with remote user software running on networked Windows and
Mac OS computers.
• Print color, grayscale, and black-and-white jobs.
• Use the copier/printer as a high-resolution color scanner with Fiery Scan software.
• Use 136 resident fonts (126 Adobe Type 1 PostScript, and 10 TrueType), plus several
Adobe Multiple Master fonts used for font substitution when printing PDF files. Use
Command WorkStation or any third-party LaserWriter downloader, such as the
Adobe Font Downloader, to download additional fonts.
• Use built-in ColorWise color management and NetWise network features.
The E-42B also supports the Microsoft version of Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) for
Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003/2008/2008 R2, Windows 7, and e-mail
printing.
