About the imagePRESS Server

The imagePRESS Server embeds computer connectivity and highly efficient PostScript and PCL printing capacity into the
imagePRESS V900/V800/V700 Series.
With the imagePRESS Server, customers can use the printer as a PostScript and PCL printer, scanner, and it provides efficient
image processing and printing controls. Once it is connected to the printer through a network, customers can print to the
imagePRESS Server from supported client computers on the network (Windows or Mac, or a UNIX workstation running TCP/IP).
The imagePRESS Server ships with system software pre-installed so that customers can use the imagePRESS Server
immediately. However, as part of servicing the imagePRESS Server, you may need to reinstall system software.
