7.21 NEW FUNCTIONS
7.21.1 PS3/PDF DIRECT EMULATION (CLONE PS)
Overview
This machine is equipped with a clone program for emulating Adobe PostScript/PDF (hereafter
“Clone PS”) as a standard feature. So, by default, it can perform printing using PostScript 3 and
PDF Direct Print, in addition to RPCS.
• What is Clone PS?
Based on the specifications of PostScript/PDF languages developed by Adobe, clone
programs for interpretation of PostScript and PDF documents have been created by
various companies other than Adobe. While the original program sold by the developer of
the language is named Adobe PS, compatible programs made by other manufacturers are
called clones. Strictly speaking, these clones must be fully compatible with the original
program; however, they are called clones even if they have some differences because they
cannot completely imitate the original.
Clone PS is basically designed to perform similar functions to Adobe PS, except for several
differences such as the inability to use Adobe fonts.
• Adobe PS, previously offered as an optional product for past models, is available again as
an option. (SD card option.)
• Clone PS and Adobe PS cannot be run simultaneously.
• The same printer driver can be used for Clone PS and Adobe PS.
• Clone PS emulates Adobe PostScript 3 version 3017. (The version of Adobe PS used in
the SD card option is v. 3018.)
• For the PDF Direct Print function, Clone PS emulates Adobe PDF version 1.7.
