| | The HP solution includes a printer and a software RIP. The HP Designjet 50ps has three main software components: - Software RIP
- AdobePS PostScript driver
(other PostScript drivers, for example, Laserwriter on Macintosh or Microsoft PScript on Windows can also be used) - Jobstream plug-in
(this is a plug-in for the AdobePS driver)

The software RIP must be installed in the server computer, a dedicated server, while the PostScript drivers and Jobstream plug-in are installed and running in the client computers. 
The HP Designjet 50ps is a networked solution. It can be connected directly to the computer server (using a USB or parallel connector) or using an HP Jetdirect 615N network card (already installed in the printer). |

The HP Jetdirect 615N network card provides you with location flexibility: the HP Jetdirect 615N allows you to locate the printer anywhere in the network. The 50ps model comes with the Jetdirect 615N in order to obtain job status information. This requirement is a must in a production environment. The printer has to be connected using TCP/IP protocol (an SNMP requirement to obtain job status information). Be aware that if the network is over utilized, print quality may suffer. HP also recommends the use of a 100BaseT switched network if possible. |
