The Fiery AR-PE2 provides efficient image processing and printing control. The 
Fiery AR-PE2 board includes a 366MHz Celeron CPU with a built-in floating point 
accelerator that runs the PostScript Interpreter, which interprets the page description file 
to produce the image pattern in memory. Powerful components on the board control 
data management and other system functions, freeing up the CPU for efficient image 
data processing.

Image data is sent from the Fiery AR-PE2 to the copier. Raster data is supplied to the 
laser in the copier at full copier rated speeds in order to charge the drum and render the 
final image on paper.

High-speed DIMMs (dual in-line memory modules) on the Fiery AR-PE2 board hold 
image data during printing. Standard DIMM configuration is 128MB, upgradable to 
256MB.

Two green LEDs visible at the Fiery AR-PE2 faceplate indicate network status. To 
indicate link speed, the bottom LED is on at 100Mbps and off at 10Mbps. To indicate 
link activity, the top LED blinks.
