With a 2 GHz Intel® Pentium® 4 processor, the EFI Fiery S300 print controller is all about performance. It features a larger cache and an enhanced command set for faster processing of even your most graphic-intensive documents. The print controller’s standard 512 MB of RAM provides ample memory to enable rapid page processing, avoiding slowdowns caused by file swapping with the hard drive and allowing deft handling of the most data-intensive files. 10/100/1000 Base T Ethernet capability enables fast transport of large amounts of data. PPML support facilitates fast processing for variable data printing, allowing you to store pre-ripped material, like high resolution images, on the print controller hard drive. This dramatically speeds up the overall process and reduces network and workstation traffic. With its own power supply, it continues processing even when the rest of the machine is shut off completely.
