 |
| Future-proof Controller Technology for Growth and Scalability |
|
Extending a proven record of providing a scalable architecture that supports growth and expandability, the SRA3 print controller represents the next generation of the Océ Scalable Raster Architecture (SRA) series. Scalable in processing power and connectivity, the SRA controller provides an expandable architecture that gives you the power to take advantage of today's newest and most sophisticated printing technologies, while providing a modular upgrade path to expand as your requirements become more demanding.
Supporting fast processing of complex pages, the SRA controller comes standard with Multiple Resolution Mode for support of 600 dpi resolution output and up to three data or network interfaces.
Based on a modular configuration, the SRA controller employs multiple microprocessors and expandable memory to perform critical printing tasks such as parallel rasterization and resolution switching. The task of translating page-description or graphics output language instructions to a pattern of dots supplied to the printing system to print pages is distributed across multiple microprocessors and performed in unison. The result is extremely high-speed throughput of even the most demanding page-description languages (PDL) with the highest possible quality at the printer's rated speed - keep pace with even the most demanding throughput of Océ VarioStreamTM printers.
Because configurations are scalable by the number of internal processors, you can specify the exact amount of controller power and memory needed for resource intensive applications. As applications become more complex or as printer speed increases, additional memory and processors can be added - so you can increase processing power without replacing a control unit or your printer As a result, you avoid purchasing more processing power than you need today in anticipation of future requirements. With SRA technology, your system matches your requirements today - and easily scales as requirements change over time.
In addition to processing power, the SRA controller also manages connectivity to your network. Whether you're connecting to a mainframe via ESCON or to an Ethernet network, the SRA controller supports a variety of connectivity options. You can start with one interface and add up to two additional interfaces as your connectivity needs increase.
