SCSI SDI Output Module (GET PDF)>

The SCSI SDI Output connectivity module of the Solimar® Print Director™ Enterprise (SPDE) directly drives multiple Xerox LPS printers via the high-speed Shared Disk Interface (SDI). SDI enables high-speed printing of graphical data onto Xerox Metacode LPS production printers that support this offline interface.

Technical Specifications

• Drives up to three printers via direct SCSI SDI interfaces
• Automates printer start commands based on job name
• Appends jobs together to reduce printer overhead
• Supports Xerox "print-on-the-fly" mode enabling jobs to print while processing
• Keeps or deletes processed jobs
• Use with XCHANGE::Metacode module for TIFF image HPIP emulation
• Uses 1GB processing on SCSI drives
