Introduction
o Scope
This document covers the specifications for the "Basic" and "WorkGroup (WG)"
market solutions for the Eiffel product.
In this document we will highlight in blue color the parts of the document that
are specific to the WorkGroup solution, the rest of the documentation is common
to Basic and WorkGroup SKUs.
The Eiffel product is a Wide Format printer with a PCL3GUI built in interpreter.
The solution, a host-based program (PostScript RIP, for Raster Image Processor),
should be able to accept, process and convert specific input files into final
PCL3GUI data for this printer. This document is a high level specification of
this RIP.
Both, the hardware requirements and the user requirements of the host RIP are
covered in this document.
o Purpose
The document will be used to communicate Hewlett Packard Inkjet Commercial
Division (HP) requirements so that a third party company can understand HP needs
and based on that make the corresponding proposal, including resources,
schedule, financials, support and maintenance information.
21
OEM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT No 12/00
Product Overview & Target Markets
Both the Eiffel Basic and WorkGroup solutions will consist of a B+ (first
release) printer bundled with the RIP software.
The product will be affordable, easy to use, provide high image quality, and be
plug and play. The RIP looks and acts like a printer driver but with many of the
capabilities that can be found only in a full-featured RIP. This driver RIP,
using standard Macintosh and Windows user interfaces, gives customers an easy to
use product with very simple installation and set up. This RIP is as easy to use
as selecting 'Print' from your favorite software application. It is key factor
that the workflow when using this driver like RIP is the same as with an
embedded PS printer.
All of this will be available to graphic artists, advertising agencies, and
in-house graphics departments as a localized solution in English, French,
Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional
Chinese (EFISG + JCTK).
o Eiffel Basic Solution
The Eiffel Basic solution is targeted to individual graphic designers' or small
groups of graphic designers (groups of 1-3 people).
User needs
The key needs of the target market are as follows: Easy to buy, Affordable,
Flexible, Reliable, Easy to use, Fits in workflow, Productive solution,
Realistic output.
Key Product Attributes
The Basic Eiffel solution must deliver on all of the following:
Accurate color
IQ leadership
Speed
Proofing credibility
Media handling flexibility
Ease of use
Robustness
Smooth integration into Graphic Design workflow
o Eiffel WorkGroup solution
The Eiffel Work-Group solution is targeted to graphic designers'. It will
provide a SOLUTION to GA workgroups who need productivity & flexibility for
in-house printing. Target markets are:
o Design Studios
o Advertising Agencies
o Marcom Departments
o Pre-press Houses
22
OEM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT No 12/00
Those workgroups need an INTEGRATED PROOFING SOLUTION. The Eiffel WG Solution
should provide them PostScript and PDF printing for getting accurate proofs from
complex jobs created in graphics applications in Macintosh and Windows
environments. This will be done in a second release following the one specified
in this document.
The WG Solution is targeting workgroups of up to 10 graphic designers.
Compared to the Basic solution, the WG one will enhance efficiency by reducing
Return to Application times by implementing a client-server based solution.
Eiffel Platform Description

Deliverables
HP expects to receive from the 3rd party a functional software solution that
will meet or exceed the specifications described through this document. This
includes the following components:
o At development
1. Standard Project documentation: the contractor will deliver standard
project documentation (project plan, quality and test plans and
schedule) as well as other documentation that might help
synchronizing the development (User Interface specifications, ...)
2. Intermediate Program releases: alpha and beta releases, before the
final Gold Master release, will be delivered, with documentation
describing the included functionality, limitations and code changes
between them (release notes).
3. Defect tracking information will be exchanged between HP and the
contractor in the development phase. HP will use the Troll system,
and the appropriate data format template, suitable for the
contractor, will be defined.
4. Beta software and documentation: for evaluation purposes, to be
installed at customer selected sites.
23
OEM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT No 12/00
5. Training Plan: for HP Technical support and HP "product experts" at
Customer Care Centers (CCC).
o At Introduction
6. Host-based SW RIP in CD-ROM for Mac & Win: It will meet the
functionality specs when installed in all the supported Operating
Systems, world wide.
There WG and Basic software will be in different CDs.
7. Localized Installer: The SW RIP could be split in several CD's,
based on geographical regions and the room needed for each SW RIP
version. A user friendly setup process is mandatory, so that the
user could install the software rebooting only once and having as
less interactivity with the installer as possible (even in Windows
USB).
8. Pantone tables and Colorsync files: provided by HP
9 Other components required for installation: These will include
PostScript drivers, and other OS required services and/or tools.
10. User Manuals (localized): These documents should cover the User's
Guide, Network installation, Color calibration. HP will provide the
localization of the documentation, by using the English version
provided by S-A.
11. Readme file: Last minute changes, application notes, known
limitations, not necessarily localized.
12. Software License. HP will provide the text file for the licensing
13. Artwork for the CD, Sleeve with HP logo, etc. Provided by HP.
14. HP will provide documentation of the PCL3GUI interpreter and the
extended DriverWare/Varware commands as required.
HP will decide on the strategy to follow in order to manufacture the software
RIP. This includes the final manufacturer of the CD-ROMs and any printed
material.
Software RIP requirements
o Main focus of the requirements
The main areas to be addressed by this solution are:
o Color accuracy and repeatability (taking advantage of internal color
calibration sensor).
o Ease of use (driver like).
o Reliability of the solution
We will have different software RIP architecture and hardware requirements for
each solution (Basic or WorkGroup):
o Software RIP architecture for Basic solution
The RIP will be running on a single workstation (PC or Mac). No support for
server based printing will exist. This means that the RIPing of the jobs will
always happen in the same computer from which the job is submitted for printing.
The architecture will provide a driver-like solution in such a way that users
can print just by selecting "print" in the application.
It won't be necessary to explicitly launch the RIPing application (automatic
launch at power up time or when a job is submitted for RIPing).

o Software RIP architecture for WorkGroup solution
The WG Solution will include three parts that need to be in place:
o The RIP itself, running in a host machine (server workstation), acting as
the controller of the Print Server
o The drivers, in the PC and Mac workstations
o The necessary mechanisms for the workstations to access the Server
Print Server
The RIP will act as a Printer Server, accepting jobs to be printed from several
sources. It will also control the communications with the Eiffel printer, to
which it is attached. It won't be necessary to explicitly launch the RIPing
application (automatic launch at power up time or when a job is submitted for
RIPing).
Mixed Environments
Once it is running, the Print Server will be accessible to all the workstations
connected in the network. If the network is supporting different protocols
(AppleTalk, TCP/IP), the RIP will be able to serve queries coming from any of
them. This would allow different platforms to coexist (e.g. WinNT print server
in a network of Mac clients).
It can be acceptable that mixed configurations are limited to a Window NT/2000
server running in an AppleTalk LAN:
o If the user installs the MAC services on WNT4.0 or W2000 server he will be
able to export the hot folder so that the MAC SW RIP client will be able
to print to FILE in the exported hot folder, then, the RIP server will get
the file from the hot folder and will print it
25
OEM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT No 12/00
Print Server/Client Server in same Workstation
The Print Server will be a dedicated machine, but since this can not be
guaranteed, it will also have the possibility of acting as a workstation
(Print Server and Client workstation in same CPU).
Client Workstations
All the workstations connected to the network will be able to send jobs to
the Print Server.
Macintosh workstations connected to the network will access the Print
Server through the Chooser. The Chooser will provide services for both the
AppleTalk protocol and TCP-IP (LPR).
Windows workstations connected to the network will be access the Server
using TCP-IP protocol.
A Printer Server serving different protocols at once will imply logical
accesses to it, but only one RIP software will be behind it.
Accesses to the Print Server
Different mechanisms must be put in place to allow access to the Printer
Server from the workstations.
Spoolers
Spoolers are logical accesses to the Printer Server, visible over the
network. A spooler can be assimilated to a queue, managed by the Print
Server.
Spoolers can be deactivated, not accepting jobs from the clients, or put
on hold, to accept jobs without further processing them. They also have
the capability of saving the spooled files, and the processed jobs (RIP'ed
files). The user can set these different behaviors in the Printer Server,
for each Spooler.
This architecture will provide a driver-like solution, from the client
perspective, in such a way that users can print just by selecting "print"
in the application.
If there is a conflict between the settings defined in the client driver
and the default settings defined in the server, the client settings will
be used. E.g. the user selects best quality while in the server defaults,
the quality is set to normal. The server settings will be used only when a
setting is not specified in the incoming PS file.
Hot Folders
The RIP will also "watch" designated repositories (folders/directories),
to automatically process files placed in the repository. Only files with
specific formats will be processed, though, and they will be deleted after
processing. This mechanism allows the client workstations to generate jobs
that need to be printed without the need of having the RIP up and running:
they can print from the applications using "Print to File", and save the
file in the designated hot folder.
o Hardware Requirements for WorkGroup solution
The minimum hardware requirements (server) are outlined in the table
below.

o Adobe PS4.4 for Windows 95/98 (EFGISJKCT)
o Adobe PS5.2 for WinNT4.0 (EFIGSJKCT)
o Microsoft PScript for W2000 (EFIGSJKCT)
Support for MacOSX is a requirement for this product, but due to the level
of uncertainty about MacOSX technical requirements, it will be considered
as an extension to the current project. Schedule TBD when more info about
Mac OSX is available.
o Resolutions
The rendering resolutions that have to be supported are:
o 300x300
o 600x600
o ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Specific resolution for each media and print quality will be defined by HP.
27
OEM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT No 12/00
o Data format
The RIP will send data to the printer in PCL3GUI format (spec to be provided by
HP). The data will be formatted as KCMYcm halftoned multilevel, with 3, 2 or I
bit per plane (a total of 12 bits per pixel is the typical case with 2 bits per
plane), ordered in planar format. For example, in the case of 2 bits per
channel, the format would be as follows:
K0K0K0K0K0K0K0K0K0K0...
K1K1K1K1K1K1K1K1K1K1...
M0M0M0M0M0M0M0M0M0M0...

m0m0m0m0m0m0m0m0m0m0...
m1m1m1m1m1m1m1m1m1m1...
o Dithering methods
The dithering mode will be selected automatically by the HP Imaging library
according to the print settings, so the user don't have to care about it (no
option is shown in the GUI).
There will be two different dithering modes. One will provide best quality
(error diffusion), while the other will provide faster throughput HP will
provide a halftoning library that will be integrated into the SW RIP. Based on
tput/quality tests, the best HT solution will be chosen.
o Throughput Requirements
The time to process a job is a function of a number of parameters including
whether background of foreground printing is used, complexity of the print job
(print quality, number of passes, color settings), load on the network, the CPU
(internal HD, amount of RAM, processor), and I/O channel.
Three fundamental time metrics are to be used in measuring performance:
o Return to application (RTA)
o Click to Start printing
o Printing
o Click to Clunk (just add click to start and printing times).
Return to Application (RTA) for Basic and WorkGroup
RTA is defined here as the time from starting the printing process (click) to
when the host is ready to continue normal working with application (no
noticeable performance degradation due to printing process). The generic goal
for RTA time equals 10% of the total printing time (click to start plus printing
time).
This will apply to Eiffel plot suite provided by HP. HP understands that actual
RTA time highly depends on specific plot and RIPping computer performance, so a
plot suite with specific RTA times defined for each plot will be provided by HP.
Reduced RTA is one of the main differentiators of the WG Solution versus the
Basic one. This is achieved thanks to the server based architecture where the
ripping of the print if performed
28
OEM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT No 12/00
on the server and so the client workstation is not loaded. This is because in
terms of RTA shall be defined two different goals, one for the typical
configuration where the client is running on a different workstation than the
server, and another where client is running on the same workstation as the
server.
RTA: client on different workstation than server
Under this configuration the Ripping is not done on the client workstation.
The WG solution shall provide a RTA for the client which is equivalent to the
RTA there would be if instead of a SW RIP, an embedded PS printer was connected
to the client.
The goal for Eiffel is to obtain same RTA values as DesignJet 1055 when using
the PostScript driver (running on same workstation). ICD will provide target
numbers for the different plots included in the Eiffel plot suite.
RTA: client on same workstation than server
Same requirements as for the Basic solution. I.e.:
The generic goal for RTA time equals 10% of the total printing time (click to
start plus printing time).
This will apply to Eiffel plot suite provided by ICD. ICD understands that
actual RTA time highly depends on specific plot and RIPping computer
performance, so a plot suite with specific RTA times defined for each plot will
be provided by ICD.
Click to start print
This is the time since the starting of the printing process (ie, the users
clicks on "print" in the application) to the moment the printer effectively
starts to print.
Same requirements as for RTA.
Printing time
Once the RIP starts sending rendered data to the engine, a minimum rendering
throughput shall be guaranteed in order to avoid printing stopping in between
swaths (which can produce image quality problems).
HP will provide additional information with the required rendering tput
(Kbytes/s) for each particular media/print quality combination.
The compression algorithm to be applied to the generated raster data shall be
the method number 2 as described in the PCL Implementers guide ( TIFF Packbits
Encoding).
HP is responsible for defining a table of resolutions/print times that meets I/O
bandwidth as well as detailed throughput goals for the plots included in the
Eiffel plot suite (to be forwarded). Below you have a reference about the
required troughput:
o 4mpp best mode A3
o 4ppm normal mode A4 (lines or text)
o l6ppm fast mode
The contractor is responsible for providing a SW RIP that can provide defined
rendering speeds for the plots included in the Eiffel plot suite.
A requirement that must be clearly stated (for PQ reasons) is that the printer
must not stop printing. So the solution has to guarantee that once data is start
being sent to the printer the above Mbytes/sec speeds are guaranteed until the
end of the job (with PCL3GUI the printer starts printing as soon as the first
band is received).
29
OEM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT No 12/00
o Supported operating systems
o Macintosh support for Mac 0S 8.5.1, 8.6, 9 (Mac OSX will be treated as a
separated project).
o Windows 95, 98, NT4.0 and 2000 support, including the Millenium release
(Windows 2000 upgrade of '98) to be launched in '2000.
o World wide support
The solution should ensure a WW supported RIP. In order to achieve this
objective, the following localizations shall be provided:
o English
o French
o Italian
o German
o Spanish
o Japanese
o Chinese
o Taiwanese
o Korean
The contractor shall guarantee that the English version of the software RIP
works well under the main Operating Systems not mentioned above: rest of Europe,
Arabia and Israel.
o Color management
Pantone emulation (Pantone certified for key media and CMYK emulation tables for
rest of medias/printmodes).
o Ink Press emulation for:
o SWOP
o Euroscale
o Toyo
o DIC
o Capability for user adding new input ICC profiles
o ColorSync compatible
o Built-in ICC output profiles (for supported medias). The profiles
will automatically selected according to media type and quality
level.
o Possibility of adding new ICC output profiles for new user defined
medias
o Easy Pantone
o Automatic Black replacement.
Color accuracy goals
o Best Glossy accuracy 5-10 dE
o Best HeavyCoated accuracy: 5-10 dE
o Best Glossy consistency: 5-10 dE
o Best HeavyCoated consistency: 5-10 dE
(Note 5 dE = 95% of the colors inside gamut (in glossy best) have
to have less than 5dE color difference from the target)
Internal Color calibration tool
To guarantee color accuracy and consistency, a color calibration mechanism will
be supported.
30
OEM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT No 12/00
This consists on a densitometer like device integrated into the Eiffel printer.
The calibration process, that shall be supported by the SW RIP consists on the
following steps (just general mechanism, HP will provide a more detailed
specification of the calibration process):
1. Customer initiates color calibration from RIP.
2. The RIP sends a page consisting of several patches
3. The RIP sends the order for the printer to scan the calibration
4. Printer scans calibration patches and communicates back to the RIP
Lab values for each measured patch
5. The RIP stores correction values for following plots.
In the WorkGroup solution the calibration values will be stored in the server in
the same way than is done for each Basic solution workstation.
The color calibration process could be launched from the server and the Basic
workstations through the SW RIP graphical interface.
o Print Quality
Levels of Print Quality
Several levels of print quality should be available for the user:
o Fast
o Normal
o Best
o Super best
Not all quality modes will be supported for each media. HP will provide
detailed information about which quality modes shall be enabled for each
media.
User perception of Print Quality
95% of the prints have to be equal or better than the Threshold (Same as
in all the HP programs but with a different threshold).

OEM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT No 12/00
o Media Support Flexibility
In addition to giving the option to add a user generated profile, we would also
add a generic menu option for "Other Glossy" or "Other Coated", etc media class.
HP would then provide a special set of resources for each media class which
would apply a generic set of printmodes and separation functions but would apply
very conservative ink limits, but optimized for the "class" of media in use.
This would give the user potentially lower color gamut, but lower risk of head
crashes for an unknown media.
The user would still be required to pick up from a list to select the
appropriate ICC profile to apply for the "Other .." media to use.
This option will be available only from the Basic and Workgroup Server
configurations, not for the Workgroup client one.
o Print management
Media tray selection
Capability to select between the available media trays:
o default input tray
o optional secondary tray
o flat passthrough path.
It has to be noted that Eiffel printer does not have alphanumeric front
panel. This means that media tray selection has to be done through the SW
RIP.
In the WG SKU this feature shall be available from the client and server
computers.
Media size and type selection
Media size and type selection shall be done through the SW RIP. This is
the only mechanism provided by to the user to select media type and size
(those parameters can not be directly selected through the printer front
panel).
In the WG SKU this feature shall he available from the client and server
computers.
Ensure non-stop-printing, Render-while-print
Printing starts as soon as rendered bands for a page begin to be received
by the printer. The RIP concurrently continues to complete rendering of
the bands for the page being printed.
The user shall be able to enable/disable the print while rendering option.
Disabling this option has a negative impact on throughput (as rendering
and printing tasks are not paralleled), but can be necessary for users
that have a HW with less power than necessary to guarantee the required
rendering speed to not stop printing
This is going to be supported only for Windows versions.
Enabling/disabling print while render option will only be available from
the server computer.
Queuing
Queuing capabilities:
o Queue status information
o Cancel current job
o Cancel a queued job
32
OEM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT N0 12/00
o List of already printed jobs (2nd priority)
o Ability of reprinting a job without having to render it (save
rendered jobs in Mac and Windows). (2nd priority)
Multiple copies
Capability of selecting multiple copies from the printer driver.
o Layout management
All features described here shall be accessible from the client workstation (and
from the server just to set default values in case are no specified in the
incoming PS file).
Portrait and Landscape
Resizing and scaling by percent
Fit to page
Grayscale
Mirror
Custom page size
No issues with margins and custom page size in any of the top
applications: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe PhotoShop, Adobe Page-Maker, Adobe
In-Design, QuarkXpress, PowerPoint.
Full Bleed
The user must be able to specify ink areas for printing and the system
will automatically specify and add the appropriate margins according to
the media type. It is therefore important that customers are able to
differentiate between media sizes. B+ and custom media sizes must be
supported (e.g. load a B+ and have B printable area).
Automatic duplex printing.
Automatic duplexing
Automatic duplex printing will require the SW RIP to send an escape
sequence in the job header to indicate to the printer engine that it has
to automatically do reverse each page. The SW RIP will also have to handle
rotation of the image on the second side of each page within a sequence to
be duplexed.
Automatic duplexer is a HW option for Eiffel.
33
OEM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT No 12/00
Preview
The main value from preview is to indicate when there is clipping or not.
o Font support
PostScript fonts
PS3 comes standard with 136 Roman fonts and these should automatically be
installed on a user system:
o When Macintosh or Windows drivers are installed
o At a moment selectable by the user
Double-byte PS fonts
Additional support is required for those localized versions (CJKT) that make use
of double byte fonts. Two different font technologies, CID and OCF, are
currently in use and must be supported. The best way verify that functionality
is by qualifying specific sets of fonts for each language:
================================================================================
Country Requirement PS fonts True Type
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japan Ryumin-Light KL Support: Adobe Type Library
and Gothic-BBB Medium
Korea Bundle: (TBD)
Qualify: SoftMagic, HanYang,
Sandol, Hancom and C2D2.
Qualify: Hanyi and Founder Qualify: Hanyi,
Founder, Synotype
Taiwan Qualify: Arphic Qualify: Arphic
================================================================================
For Japan, two font families from Morisawa will be included on the CD-ROM and
installed automatically on the user hard disk. These fonts are Ryumin-Light KL
and Gothic-BBB Medium. Copy protection scheme transparent to the user.
OpenType Fonts
On Windows 2000 environment, OpenType technology (TrueType and PostScript
integration) is supported. The software RIP should contemplate it.
TrueType Fonts
These fonts are supported by all the Operating Systems (Windows 9X, Windows NT
and Mac OS), but each one is handling them very differently, depending on the
driver capabilities:
o On Windows 9X, the AdobePS driver can convert TrueType fonts to Type 42
before sending it to the PostScript interpreter. They can be used
effectively.
o On Windows NT and Macintosh OS Microsoft and Apple drivers cannot properly
convert TrueType fonts to a PS format. AdobePS drivers do convert TrueType
fonts, but only recent versions are localized.
All this should be taken into account when the RIP is processing PS/EPS jobs
generated externally.
In order to process embedded TT fonts on those scenarios we would like to have a
SW RIP that supports direct TT rasterization, but only if this is not involving
a separate module to be developed from scratch (for instance, if the new CPSI
version is including this functionality, HP will require to use it).
34
OEM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT No 12/00
Font Substitution
A font substitution mechanism (font-mapper) is required, so that the fonts that
are requested in a PS print job are appropriately handled.
If a font requested by a job is not found on the system, certain substitutions
will take place (i.e., use Courier font in a Roman environment, another
substitution that makes sense in non-Roman environments).
This mechanism can also be used to create font mappings (specific font
substitutions) that can solve font naming issues, or TrueType to PostScript
aliases.
This Font-Manager also will cover double-byte fonts. It could be released as a
separate utility, installable with the software RIP, with the appropriate
documentation.
o Connectivity
Connectivity will be provided through:
o MAC:
o USB interface (when the OS and driver are supporting it)
o AppleTalk
o TCP/IP
o Windows:
o ECP parallel port interface
o USB
o TCP/IP
o Maintenance tools
Certain maintenance functions will be accessible through the RIP user interface:
o Print log file containing information for the user about jobs
started/finished, problems descriptions, ...)
o Our goal will be to have a link to an external tool that will implement
the different maintenance services. HP will provide the external tool and
the command to launch it for PC and MAC. The RIP will launch the tool from
an option in the Help Menu of the main SW RIP window.
If the user didn't install the Maintenance tool you should prompt a dialog box
explaining that the tool is not available, but the user can install it from the
SW RIP CD.
Install/Uninstall requirements
The CD ROMs will use an autorun mechanism to automatically "boot up" when the CD
is inserted in the drive provided that this feature is supported on the host
computer. If autorun is not supported the user will start the installation by
launching a setup application located at the root level of the CD.
The start-up screen gives the user the option to select one of the supported
languages. Once a language has been selected all other dialog box selections,
prompts, and user help will be in that same language.
35
OEM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT No 12/00
After the language selection screen it will appear a window showing the
different pieces of software that can be installed:
o SW RIP
o Maintenance tool
o HP registration
For the Basic solution there will be only one option to do the SW RIP
installation.
In the case of WorkGroup solution, it will be provided 2 installation options
for the SW RIP, one for the server workstation and another one for the client
workstation.
It shall be possible to upgrade a workstation with the Basic Solution installed
to Client or Server WG Solution without any negative or incompatibility effect.
If at installation time, it is detected an older version of the software, the
installer shall be able to do the upgrade to the new version in a manner
transparent to the user.
It shall be provided a tool to uninstall the software RIP.
Support for SW RIP upgrades (TBC)
During the life of this product there will be some distribution of patches that
will require the distribution of new files that should be copied to some RIP
folder, in the way of "service packs". The SW RIP should provide support to this
maintenance tasks.
For instance, if we have to distribute a new dll file to 20 users that are using
the SW RIP 1.0:
o S-A will create an patch1.exe file containing the file and the
instructions to copy it to the right directory
o HP will publish this file in the HP technical support WEB site
o The user will upload the file and will run it so:
o The modification will be stored in the local "upgrade log" file
o The file will be automatically copied to the right folder
In order to make easier the access to the new "service packs" the SW RIP will
have an additional option in the Help Menu that will launch the standard WEB
browser with the right HP WEB URL address (to be provided by HP).
Integration of HP Registration procedure
The SW RIP (Basic or Server) will launch the HP registration tool by running the
standard WEB browser in the workstation (PC or MAC), and calling at the HP
registration URL.
This can be done at installation time or the first time that the user runs the
SW RIP.
Copyright Protection
The SW RIP will check the printer's model identification at installation time in
order to ensure the device is licensed to use the RIP facilities.
As mentioned above, the Japanese version of the software will implement a
software protection scheme that will be password protected. This will allow the
installation of the two Japanese fonts. The password will be in the form of a
user number and product password.
36
OEM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT No 12/00
Compatibility
Compatibility with any other PostScript and Windows drivers of the DJ5000PS,
DJ500 and DJ800PS printer models.
Compatibility with other CPSI SW RIP (can coexist in same computer): DJ500PS SW
RIP and Eiffel Heidelberg SW RIP (for second release, in this case).
Qualification
The software solution shall be qualified as meeting the specifications defined
in this document. The contractor can propose a qualification solution taking
into account the above requirement.
Quality and Test plans should be shared as part of the agreement with HP.
HP will develop several subsystem qualifications (Ambient Writing System,
Environmental Writing System, Print Quality, Color Fidelity) as well as system
testing. This could include installing pre-releases at qualified beta-sites.
Training, Support and Maintenance
The contractor will provide the following additional services:
o Worldwide training classes in the US, Europe and Asia for HP support
people.
o Technical support consulting for HP Customer Care Center (CCC) people
o Upgrade versions to support new version of OS and major applications.
o Maintenance releases according to market needs (to be agreed additional
fees) in order to fix post-intro bugs.
HP expects the contractor to train a designated engineer (from the Technical
Marketing Department) on the features and use of the RIP, so that he can be the
focus from HP for post-introduction support.
HP will deliver first level of support to customers through its Customer Care
Centers. A second level of support will be provided by DesignJet On-Line. It
will run under the responsibility of HP Sales Support Department.
There should exist a formal maintenance support agreement to address those
issues that DesignJetOL can not resolve. Critical issues appearing after the
contractor has released the solution to HP should be addressed according to its
impact.
A typical HP product is supported during five years after its introduction to
the market. The agreement with the contractor should contemplate this support,
and explicitly refer to the OS introduced during that period.
Print Test suite
HP will provide a test suite consisting on typical user prints. The Eiffel
Solutions shall be able to process all those prints meeting the above defined
specs.
This list shall be used as a guideline for making the proposal in order to
understand better the typical complexity of the jobs that will have to be
printed.
37
OEM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT No 12/00

o Software Program schedule.
The following table includes a schedule outline for the activities occurring
before project start and project completion dates. HP expects to receive from
