How the MX-PE12 operates
When a customer prints, the motherboard and printer interface board process image data. The printer interface board
is a custom board and allows the MX-PE12 to communicate with the printer. The CPU, which is located on the
motherboard, controls the transfer of image data to and from the motherboard and runs the interpreter. DIMMs,
which are also located on the motherboard, hold image data during printing.
The interpreter rasterizes the page description file and compresses the image pattern into memory using compression
technology. The interpreter outputs the compressed raster data through the image frame buffer memory to the printer
interface board. The raster data is sent to the printer, which then renders the image on paper at maximum speed.
