1. Introduction

1.1. Purpose

This document is describing the HP PostScript RIP (Raster Image Processor)
solution requirements based in:

o A host based RIP software

o HP graphics printer

In this document we will refer to the HP SW RIP as the HP Front End (FE), too,
because from the user point of view the SW RIP is providing the interface for
the HP users.

We will use this specification to communicate Hewlett Packard Inkjet Commercial
Division (HP) requirements for the future SW RIP developments so that:

o A third party company can understand HP needs and based on that make the
corresponding proposal, including resources, schedule, financials, support
and maintenance information

o QA test process can be defined and documented

o Product support requirements can be defined and documented

This document will be focused on the functional requirements rather than the
design implementation details or requirements for the processes that will be
used to develop the product, although some of them them will be included here
in order to be more specific on some areas. References to other technical
implementation documents will be provided here when needed.

3. Product release process: HP SW RIP product line

The implementation of the solution should be done in a way that it's very easy
to extend the solution to cover future HP printers by adding the new
functionality of the "base" version without re-implementing the core solution.

This approach will make possible the implementation of a "product line" of HP SW
RIP products that will reuse the common source code modules of previous
products, and it only will change the "specific driver" module needed to support
the new HP printer device:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEFORE NOW

SW RIP SW RIP Common modules
customized to customized to (common functionality)
support support
device 1 device 2 ----> Optional functionality for all the devices
functionality (backward compatible)

HP printer HP printer
device 1 device 2
(Specific (Specific
functionality) functionality)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are moving from a monolithic approach to a more modular and flexible one.
This is a radical change in the way we have to develop the new SW RIP versions
because:

o There will be a "core" common RIP component that will be evolving
by adding features that will be available for every HP printer
device (previous or new)

o The previous version of the RIP will support the addition of
new HP printer devices, and will keep the support of the new
functionality on previous ones

That's why we will organize specification documents in those different sections:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

o Common requirements description: containing the features that
will be supported for every HP printer device (Common SW RIP
component)

o Specific requirements for each different HP device platform

o HP SW RIP roadmap: features and devices

So, a new version of this document will be delivered every time that we should
describe a future HP SW RIP release requiring:

o Support an additional HP device, or

o A common feature should be delivered for all the HP devices
supported at that moment.

Based on this version of the document we will define the schedule (roadmap) for
next SW RIP releases so that new versions will be developed in an incremental
way.

4. Product Overview & Target Markets

Every HP RIP solution consists of a RIP software version bundled with an HP
specific printer.

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 as a localized solution in English, French,
Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional
Chinese (EFISG + JCTK).

Key Product Attributes

The Basic SW RIP solution must deliver on all of the following:

Accurate color

IQ leadership

Throughput

Ease of use

Robustness

Smooth integration into Graphic Design and/or proofing workflows

Target markets

5. HP printer platform Description

The HP printer platform can be described as:

o Wide/Large format printer: B or larger size

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

o Internal Color calibration device

o Languages: PCL3GUI embedded interpreter

o Connectivity specs

o EIO slots for network cards

o USB and parallel

o TCPI/IP, AppleTalk

6. 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:

6.1. 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 HP internal
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.

5. Training Plan: for HP Technical support and HP "product experts" at
Customer Care Centers (CCC)

6.2. At Introduction

1. Host-based SW RIP in CD-ROM and WEB packs for Mac & Win: It will meet
the functionality specs when installed in all the supported Operating
Systems, worldwide. The distribution in different packages (CDs or WEB
packs) depending upon the final software size.

2. Localized Installer: The SW RIP could be split in several packages
(CDs or WEB), 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.

3. Pantone tables files: provided by HP, and integrated in the SW RIP
pack by the third party. To be distributed to the final user by CD or
WEB.

4. Other components required for installation: These will include
PostScript drivers, and other OS required services and/or tools. To be
distributed by CD or WEB.

5. 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.

6. On line Help

The on-line help will be accessible from a button located in the RIP
UI. The Help will be context sensitive and will be localized to the
supported languages. We could have local files, but also reference to
WEB help.

7. Readme file: Last minute changes, application notes, known
limitations, not necessarily localized. Up-to-date future versions
will be distributed by WEB, too.

8. Software License. HP will provide the text file for the licensing

9. Artwork for the CD, Sleeve with HP logo, etc. Provided by HP.

HP will decide on the strategy to follow in order to manufacture the software
RIP.

7. HP SW RIP architecture

The "pure" HP SW RIP Solution (I mean, without Remote Proofing, Maintenance
tool, ... that will be described later) will be based on the following
components:

o RIP server, running in a host machine, acting as the controller of the HP
printer device

o RIP client: PS drivers + PPD, in the PC and Mac workstations

o The necessary mechanisms to access to the RIP server from the client
workstations:

o Remote printer queue

o WEB GUI

According to the client/server architecture, there are 2 different possible
configurations:

7.1. RIP Server

The RIP server will act as a Printer server, accepting jobs to be printed from
several sources. It will also control the communications with the HP printer
device.

It won't be necessary to explicitly launch the RIP (automatic launch at power up
time or when a job is submitted for Ripping).

The RIP server will be accessible from all the workstations connected in the
network. If the network is supporting different protocols (AppleTalk, TCP/IP),
the RIP will be able to accept print jobs coming from any of them. This would
allow different platforms to coexist (e.g. WinNT print server in a network of
Mac clients).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It can be acceptable that mixed configurations are limited to a Window
NT/2000 server running in an AppleTalk LAN: 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

The user will be able to print jobs from the client workstation and the RIP
server.

7.2. RIP client

All the workstations connected to the network will be able to send jobs to the
RIP server through the RIP client software.

Macintosh workstations connected to the network will print jobs by using a RIP
shared printer from the MAC Chooser. The Chooser will provide services for both
the AppleTalk protocol and TCP/IP.

Windows workstations connected to the network will use TCP/IP protocol.

A RIP server will be able to manage job submits from different workstations
using different protocols at once.

7.3. WEB user interface

The HP SW RIP will use a WEB based user interface that will make possible:

o Flexibility to include links to other HP WEB based components
(eServices, maintenance tool,)

o The SW RIP UI will be accessible from client workstations

o Reduce the development cycle in terms of reusing the same interface
for the different operating systems

To make possible this implementation we will have:

o A WEB server running in the RIP server machine. This WEB server will
be installed with the RIP software

o A modular architecture separating RIP UI from RIP processor through a
well documented API is needed

o We will require TCP/IP setup on client and server machines

The detailed layout of the WEB UI panels, menus and options will be specified in
a separate document. At least we should cover the same functionality that it's
provided in the Eiffel GA application-based user interface.

7.4. HP Color Pipeline and Halftoning Support

The RIP printing pipeline converts, through a long series of steps, the input
files into data that may be sent to the print engine. To optimize the inkjet
output, part of this pipeline consists of an HP library incorporated into the
Front End. The HP

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

library will process the job data just after it has been ripped into CMYK
contone data, performing the following:

o Conversion from 4 to six colors.

o Ink limiting.

o Color linarization

o Halftoning.

The integration of this library (provided by HP in form of a DLL file for
Windows, and a similar format for MAC) is described in detail in the document
"API for the HP Imaging Library". Additional documentation will describe the
external resources required by the library, stored in the File System of the
server, and the meaning of each field of the file contents.

8. User platforms coverage

8.1. Supported operating system platforms

o Macintosh support for Mac OS 8.6, 9.X

o MAC OS X classic mode, all the latest versions existing in the market

o Windows 98, ME (Millennium), NT4.0 and 2000 support

o Support for next MS Windows XP.

8.2. PostScript drivers

o Adobe PS8.7 or LaserWriter for Macintosh (EFGISJKCT)

o Adobe PS4.4 for Windows 95/98 (EFGISJKCT)

o Adobe PS5.2 for WinNT4.0 (EFIGSJKCT)

o Microsoft Pscript for W2000 (EFIGSJKCT) and XP

8.3. 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 Portuguese

o Japanese

o Simplified Chinese

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

o Traditional Chinese (Taiwan)

o Korean

Too, it's required that the English version of the software RIP can work without
problems on the following additional Operating system localizations:

o Holland

o Portuguese

o Swedish, Norwegian, Finish, Danish

o Hebrew

o Arabian

9. Hardware Requirements (minimum)

--------------------
Minimum requirements
--------------------

Windows 98

Pentium III processor

400MHz

128MB RAM

2GB min disk Space

--------------------
Mac G3

128MB RAM

2GB min disk space

--------------------

The recommended hardware requirements will be fine tuned for each SW RIP
solution.

10. Use cases

In this section we describe the user scenarios for the main SW RIP
functionality.

10.1. First time installation

The CD ROMs will use an autorun mechanism to automatically "boot up" when the CD
is inserted in the CD drive. If autorun is not supported the user will start the
installation by launching a setup application located at the root level of the
CD.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

Then, the installer software will show the different pieces of software that can
be installed:

o SW RIP, 2 options:

o Client installation

o RIP server installation: this option will install also the HP Remote
Proofing engine files when required

o HP maintenance tool (Developed by HP, so, we are the owners)

o HP registration: will be run automatically at installation time

10.2. SW RIP version and functionality upgrades

The user will be able to upgrade from the "Client workstation" setup to install
the "RIP server" later without requiring any previous uninstallation step.

Too, it will be possible to upgrade the current SW RIP version to include new HP
printer devices support, and additional functionality (for instance, tiling
support), without requiring a complete installation.

If, at installation time, it's detected an older version of some previously
installed software, the installer shall be able to propose the upgrade to the
new version to the user.

10.3. Uninstallation

It shall be provided a tool to uninstall all the components of the software RIP
for each supported operating system.

10.4. Printing from graphic design application: printer spooler

A spooler is a logical PS printer queue, which it's configured according to the
PS driver and PPD (PS Printer Description) file.

This architecture will provide a printer driver-like solution, from the client
perspective, in such a way that users can print just by selecting "print" in the
graphic application.

If there is a conflict between the settings defined in the client driver and the
default settings defined in the RIP 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 job file.

10.5. Printing by using the "Load file" option from the RIP GUI

The user will click on the "Load file" ("Submit new job") option from the RIP
GUI, and will select the file to print by using a file browser.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.6. Printing by copying a job file to RIP input Hot Folder

The RIP will also "watch" a specific file folder so that every file copied into
this Hot Folder will be automatically processed.

The job files copied to this folder will be processed according to user
settings: hold, Ripped or printed.

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 by using "Print to File", and save the file in the designated
hot folder.

This can be done only from:

o RIP server computer

o Client workstations accessing to shared Hot Folder, when the Hot
Folder is made available trough the local network

10.7. Printing by Drag-and-Drop file to RIP user interface window

The user will be able to print by dragging and dropping directly to the RIP
management window.

This can be done only from the RIP server computer (standalone scenario).

10.8. Automatic Color calibration (also called Close Loop Color)

HP Intellectual Property (we have some patents on this), we provide the
implementation instructions to Scanvec Amiable.

To guarantee color accuracy and consistency, a color calibration mechanism will
be implemented in the SW RIP whenever the printer device is able to support it.

This Close Loop Color functionality will require also the right support in the
HP printer device:

o Built-in color density measurement device

o Bi-directional communication between RIP and printer

o API to provide data back to the printer (Varware+)

The calibration process, which 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):

HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.9. Add new medias

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.

10.10. Getting SW RIP service packs through WEB

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 patchl.exe file containing the file and the commands
needed to install in the right directory

o HP will publish this file in the HP technical support WEB site

o The user will download the file and will run it so:

o The modification will be stored in the local "upgrade log" file, so
that the version history can be consulted lately

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 LTRL address (to be provided by HP).

10.11. HP Registration

The user will be able to launch the HP registration tool from:

o The SW RIP installer

o The SW RIP GUI main menu.

At that time the SW RIP will run the default WEB browser by using the HP
provided URL address.

10.12. Maintenance/troubleshooting operations

Certain maintenance functions will be accessible from the RIP user interface:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 or the HP WEB site.

11. Remote Proofing (RP) requirements

In this section we are going to describe a set of common requirements to be
provided in the HP SW RIP so that it's supporting the HP Remote Proofing (RP)
functionality.

Instead of merging those requirements in the rest of the sections we are putting
all the information in a separate section to have a complete and integrated view
of all the new remote proofing functionality and required changes.

11.1. Architecture description

When talking about RP requirements we say that the RIP will act as a "Front End
(FE)", so in this section we will use this term instead of the usual RIP one.

In the Remote Proofing (RP, in short) service, the Front Ends (FE) can act as
two different actors:

o Front End as a consumer of Remote Proofs: in this role, the Front End
prints proofs.

o Front End as a producer of Remote Proofs: in this role, the Front End
generates the proof file that is going to be proofed.

o The proof file must follow the Remote Proof Data Exchange Format
Specification.

The FE (SW RIP) described in this specification will work ONLY as a consumer of
proof jobs.

The FE communicates with a local application that it's installed at the same
time (so, it's always available). We call this application the HP Remote
Proofing (RP) engine.

In the picture below you can see the different components in the system, and the
interfaces among them.

The FE can receive files through the input hot folder from the PS driver
(regular path) or from the remote proofing service (remote proofing path).

-----------------------------------------

The interfaces between the HP RP engine and the FE server are:

o The RP-to-FE Input Hot Folder for reception of JDF job files.

The format of these files is defined in the document: "HP Remote Proofing
Data Exchange Format Specification".

o The FE-to-RP Output Hot Folder for notifications from the FE engine to the
HP RP engine.

This Hot Folder will consist of a queue of events (Remote Proofing Events
from now on), each one being an XML file defined in a section below.

The interface definition should be protected as part of the HP Intellectual
Property (some patents are pending).

Next we are going to describe the additional functionality that should be
implemented for the HP Front End in term of use cases.

IMPORTANT: in order to simplify the implementation the user will not be able to
change the location of neither the "Input Hot Folder" nor the "Output Hot
Folder".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.2. Job processing lifecycle

Below you can see a description of the different job status values and
the transitions between them. Each time the job is changing the status in one of
the transitions there will be a notification of that change to the RP engine.

------------------------

Important:

o The RP engine will send the remote proofs in a sequential way. No new
proof file is going to be put in the FE input queue until the previous
one is finished before

o In case of errors or events requiring user interaction, the FE engine
will delete the job; it will never maintain it in hold status. As a
consequence, every time that the RIP is launched it will continue the
processing of any proof job that could be locked in the RIP queue

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

o If the RIP engine is sending the same notification several times to
the RP engine there is no problem at all, because the job status
information will be reported to the user with the correct value anyway

11.3. Use cases

11.3.1. Install/uninstall

In addition to the installation requirements of the common SW RIP we will need
to include:

1. Automatic installation/uninstallation of the HP RP engine in the FE server.
The HP RP engine will include the installation of the WEB server.

2. On-line HP WEB registration

In case the user has got the previous version of the SW RIP we would like to
have an installation option to upgrade to the new one so that the user doesn't
have to uninstall the previous version. This upgrade pack should be small enough
to make possible a WEB distribution.

In order to make possible the link between FE and RP engine, the FE installation
will involve the creation of a common resource defining the Input/Output Hot
Folder names:

o On Windows: 2 registry keys

o On MAC: a preference file to be stored in the "Preferences" folder.

The uninstallation of the FE will also delete the objects of the RP engine.

11.3.2. User is proofing

The FE will provide support to implement the following workflow:

1. The "HP RP engine" is going to download proofing jobs (one JDF file
each) in the FE input hot folder.

2. The FE will automatically detect the new JDF file in the input hot
folder as soon as the file is completely downloaded

3. The FE will parse the JDF (job ticket) file to extract the PDF file
path

4. The FE will load the PDF file as the next job to print

The FE will parse the JDF (job ticket) file, in order to
extract the setting options to apply when processing/printing
the job. Look at next section for a complete description of
the job ticket settings and behavior.

5. Process the PDF file for color management according to the
instructions in the "Color management processing" section below.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. The PDF file will be ripped according to the right job ticket
settings. Notify to the RP engine: OK or error.

7. Print the first job page

8. Repeat steps 10 for each page

9. If the job was printed without problems, too, the FE will notify the
event to the RP engine.

As you can see from the description above, an event notification consists of
that the FE will copy an XML file to the Output Hot Folder so that the RP engine
will be able to read them an update the status information about this job.

11.4. Job ticket format (simplified)

Job ticket settings:

These are the settings that will be included in the job ticket

o JobID: will always be present in the ticket

o Minimum media dimensions (in points, millimeters or inches, whatever
is easier to handle by Amiable): will always be present in the ticket

o Print quality (draft, normal, best, premium): will always be present
in the ticket

o Media type (internal name of media type): will always be present in
the ticket

o Settings policy (override/cheek/rip): will always be present in the
ticket

o Perform color correction (true/false): will always be present in the
ticket

o Pantone Emulation (true/false): will always be present in the ticket

o CMYK input profile (absolute path to a file containing it): this
setting will only be present in the ticket if "Perform color
correction" is true.

o RGB input profile (absolute path to a file containing it): this
setting will only be present in the ticket if "Perform color
correction" is true

o Output profile (?) (Absolute path to a file containing it or
"automatic"): will always be present in the ticket

o PDF file (absolute path): will always be present in the ticket

o Result file (absolute path of the file where the output result should
be written): will always be present in the ticket

//SimpleJobTicket

Note:
> (1) // means a comment line;
> (2) we use key = value each line;

Behavior:
The processing of the job ticket is described in the following steps.

It is also described graphically in the flow diagram (the flow diagram
contains references to the steps in this section)

1 Read the ticket

2 Decide the media type and media size to use depending of the "Policy"
attribute:

1. if settingsPolicy = override, use the media type and media size,
specified in the job ticket

2. if settingsPolicy = check, the media type, and media size specified
in the FE must be the same than the ones specified in the JT, if that
is not the case, the job fails

3. if settingsPolicy = rip, the media type and media size specified in
the RIP will be used regardless of the job ticket settings in any
case, the print quality will always be set to the one specified in the
job ticket

3 Select the color profiles to be used to print the job:

1. if performColorCorrection = true, the CMYK and RGB input profiles
specified in the JT must be used. the input profiles are always
defined if performColorCorrection = true

2. if the output profile is set to "automatic", it is selected
automatically by the FE, depending on the print quality and media type
settings; otherwise, the color profile specified in the job ticket is
used as output color profile

3. if the FE cannot access any of the color profiles specified, the job
fails

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4 Rip and print the job

1. If the FE cannot access the PDF or there is an error ripping or
printing the file, the job fails. if the job can be printed
correctly, it finishes successfully

2. When the job finishes, either succesfully or due to an error, the
result file specified in the job ticket is writen by the RIP. The
minimum information required is:

o termination status (OK or error)

o error code (if termination status is error)

Notes:

o the RIP does not have to extract any profile from the PDF, profiles are
extracted by the RP software before passing the contents to the RIP. The
RIP just has to process the PDF file as any other PDF file (making sure
that it uses the settings specified in the job ticket)

o the RIP does not have to delete any of the files (PDF, profiles...) the
only file that it will have to remove is the JT itself once it is processed

o we need a list of possible errors from the Amiable RIP. These errors should
include the error causes specified in the previous algorithm

Below you have a picture describing the workflow:

11.5. Color management processing

The FE will extract the ICC profiles from the PDF file, and will use it for the
color processing as described in the document "Eiffel Color Pipeline
description".

The spec is described in this Adobe document:

Note that there is a part "Known Output Intent dictionaries" which

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

describes the PDF/X intent dictionary.

The basic process is:

-look for a PDF/X Output Intent dictionary

-if it exists, and it includes an Output_Condition_Identifier key, extract the
ICC profile from this key

-if this profile is CMYK, use it as CMYK emulation profile

-if this profile is RGB, use it as RGB emulation profile

11.6. PDF/Proof job settings

The job settings will be checked according to the specification defined in the
document "Remote Proofing Data Exchange Format Specification" (look at the user
proofing scenario above).

The FE will compare the print setting values contained in the job ticket with
the values selected in the FE at this moment. Those parameters are:

o Media type

o Media size

o Print quality

o Resolution

11.7. Graphical interface functionality

There will be some menu options from the FE GUI that will launch the HP RP
engine tool.

Every time one of these events is detected, the FE will copy an XML file to the
Output Hot Folder so that the RP engine will be able to read them an update the
status information about the pending proof jobs.

The contents of the XML file are:

o Events information

o Complete information of the proof jobs running at this moment (status
snapshot for all the proof jobs in the FE queue)

The format of the XML notification file will be:

(open angle bracket) Simple_JMF (close angle bracket)
JobID = "JobId00256"
Result = "OK"
ErrorCode = "RIP FAILED"
ExtraErrorMsg = "anything or emty"
(open angle bracket) /Simple_JMF (close angle bracket)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Result can be:
"OK"
"FAIL"

ErrorCode Can be:
"RIP FAILED"
"OPEN PORT ERROR"
ExtraErrorMsg Can be empty or any string;

12. SW RIP common features

12.1. Supported file formats for JOB files

Printer spooler RIP hot folder RIP drag-and-drop
True Adobe PostScript level 3 OK OK OK
PDF 1.3 and previous OK OK
EPS OK OK OK
JPEG OK OK
TIFF OK OK
BMP (Windows only) OK OK

12.2. SW RIP queue management

The user will be able to access to the following options from the SW RIP GUI:

o Job status information

o Cancel current job

o Cancel a queued job

o List of already printed jobs

o Ability of reprinting a job without having to render it (save rendered jobs
in Mac and Windows)

o Reorder jobs in queue

12.2.1. Render-while-printing

The user will have the option to activate the Render-while-printing mode, that
is, the RIP starts to send data to the printer as soon as the first rendered
band is ready, instead of waiting until the job is completely Ripped. By doing
that we will see that

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the printer will start printing much earlier than when using the sequential
process (RIP the complete job, then, print).

On the other side, enabling this option could cause printing pauses in the
middle of the print process because maybe the RIP is not going to be able to
render data at higher speed rate than the printer is consuming the data.

The user shall be able to enable/disable the print while rendering option from
the RIP server GUI, at least on Windows.

12.3. Connectivity

Connectivity will be provided through:

o MAC:
o USB interface (when the OS version and PS driver are supporting it)
o AppleTalk
o TCP/IP

o Windows:
o ECP parallel port interface
o USB
o TCP/IP

12.4. Color management

12.4.1. Pantone emulation tables integration:

Pantone certified for key medias and CMYK emulation tables for rest of
medias/printmodes

12.4.2. Press ink emulation

HP will provide the tables, and they will be integrated in the RIP for:
SWOP, Euroscale, TOYO, and DIC.

12.4.3. RGB emulations

Built-in RGB emulation tables (provided by HP): sRGB, Apple RGB, ColorMatch RGB,
Adobe RGB.

12.4.4. Capability for user adding new input ICC profiles

12.4.5. Apple Colorsync profiles compatibility

12.4.6. Built-in ICC output profiles

For supported HP medias, HP will provide the profiles to be included in the RIP.
Those profiles will be automatically selected according to media type and
quality level.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12.4.7. Easy Pantone algorithm integration (provided by HP)

12.4.8. Automatic Black Replacement (ABR)

12.5. Print management

12.5.1. Media source selection

Capability to select between the available media trays:

o default input tray

o optional secondary tray

o flat pass through path.

12.5.2. Media type selection

The SW RIP will show a list of media types so that the user can select the right
option to use in next printouts.

12.5.3. Print quality selection

In the printer engine, print quality is an attribute that is obtained as a
combination of several parameters such as the resolutions of the contone data,
halftoned data and printing grid, the number of passes required to put all the
ink on the media, the specific nozzles used in this process, the amount of drops
to fire, time to wait for ink drying, etc.

All this is hidden from the user, whose only decision to make is to select the
media type and the quality level desired. The RIP, based on those two inputs,
has to make the correct actions, providing the right data to the printer engine

12.5.4. Multiple copies

Capability of printing multiple copies of the selected job.

12.5.5. Job Preview

The main value from preview is to indicate when there is clipping or not, so, we
are talking about a layout preview that takes into account the printable area
for each media size.

The Job Preview will have several options:

o Complete layout preview: showing all the job pages at once

o Page preview: it shows the job in a page per page basis

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12.6. Layout management

All features described here shall be accessible from the client workstation and
from the server user interfaces.

12.6.1. Portrait and Landscape

12.6.2. Resizing and scaling

o By percent

o By specifying width and height

o Fit to media

12.6.3. Grayscale

12.6.4. Mirror

12.6.5. Rotation

12.6.6. 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. For instance: load a B+ and have B printable area.

12.7. Font support

12.7.1. Roman PS 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

12.7.2. 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 to verify this
functionality is by qualifying some specific sets of fonts for each language:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Country Requirement PS fonts True Type

Japan Ryumin-Light KL Support: Adobe Type
and Gothic-BBB Library
Medium

Korea Qualify: SoftMagic,
HanYang, Sandol, Hancom
and C2D2.

China Qualify: Hanyi and Founder Qualify: Hanyi,
Founder,
Synotype

Taiwan Qualify: Arphic Qualify: Arphic
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For Japan, two font families from Morisawa will be included and installed
automatically on the user hard disk. These fonts are Ryumin-Light KL and
Gothic-BBB Medium. Copy protection scheme is transparent to the user.

12.7.3. OpenType Fonts

On Windows 2000 environment, OpenType technology (TrueType and PostScript
integration) is supported. The software RIP should support it.

12.7.4. 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 Adobe PS 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. Adobe PS 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).

12.7.5. Fonts Substitution tool

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).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

13. SW RIP metrics

HP will require a set of goals in some functional areas that are described
below.

13.1. Print Test suite

HP will provide a test suite consisting on typical user prints. The SW RIP will
be able to process all those prints so that it fits the functional goals defined
before.

13.2. 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.

The following fundamental time metrics are to be used in measuring performance:

o Return to application (RTA)
o Click to Start printing
o Mechanical printing time
o Click to Clunk (just add click to start and printing times).

---
X
---

Return to Application (RTA)

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).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 differences of the HP SW RIP solution when the
RIP is running in the same workstation than the graphics application, compared
to the separated scenario (client/server): in the case of 2 different
workstations (client and server) the ripping of the job if performed on the
server and so the client workstation is not heavy loaded.

So, RTA goals shall be defined for both: the typical configuration where the
client is running on a different workstation than the server, and the standalone
ones.

Click to Start printing

This is the time since the starting of the printing process (i.e., the users
clicks on "print" in the application) to the moment the printer effectively
starts to print.

Same requirements than RTA.

Mechanical printing time

Once the RIP starts sending rendered data to the printer device 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 throughput
(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 Pack bits
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. 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 (assume that the printer starts printing as soon as the first
data is received).

Click to Clunk, or total printing time

This is the total time between the user clicks to print until the printer has
printed the job and returns to the "Ready" status.

13.3. Color performance goals

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

13.3.1. Color Accuracy vs. Target

The accuracy goal will be measured for the following media and print qualities:

o Glossy media / Best mode

o HeavyCoated media / Best mode

HP Note: Specific detailed test method TBD, but it will involve sending a set of
color patches in the L*a*b* color space to avoid the effect that the input ICC
profile might have on the accuracy.

13.3.2. Color Consistency

The goal of the system is to provide a maximum color variability of some dE
number.

This variability is a different measurement, depending on what part of the
printing system is being tested:

o Proof to proof: total range of color values for a single color patch at the
same location on the page for ten consecutive prints on the same printer,
produced with no intentional pauses in the printing cycle.

o Machine to Machine: maximum difference of equivalent color patches between
the average of ten prints on any two Eiffel printers, after calibration.

o Ink/Print-Head Change: maximum color change after following the recommended
color calibration process when a printer undergoes an ink change and / or
printhead change. 95% of all the patches printed must meet these criteria.

The color patches might well be a specific IT8 subset, printed with under
certain conditions and settings (number of patches, media, color emulation...)

HP Note: Specific detailed test method TBD.

Both color attributes, accuracy and consistency, will be considered in the
Quality Plan, and more specifically of the Writing System Test executed by HP.

14. Licensing restrictions

14.1. Device model check licensing
The SW RIP will check the printer's model identification every time that the
user is beginning to use a different RIP IO configuration, in order to ensure
the device is licensed to use the SW RIP facilities. In case the device model ID
is not the correct one the SW RIP will refuse the connection.

The SW RIP will always be shipped/distributed jointly with the HP printer
device.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP InkJet Commercial Division Monday, December 10, 2001

HP SW RIP External Reference Specification [hp logo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

14.2. Japanese fonts licensing

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 Adobe Heisei Japanese fonts.

The licensing mechanism is based on:

1. The CD will have an sticker containing: user ID and product password

2. At installation time the user will get a dialog box asking for user ID and
password

3. After providing the right data, the SW RIP will install the Japanese fonts in
the hard disk (encrypted according to the user ID)

Given that those fonts are licensed by Adobe, it's needed the agreement of Adobe
authorized representatives on the fonts licensing/distribution mechanism.

15. HP products compatibility

Compatibility with PostScript and Windows drivers. printer models.

Compatibility with other SW RIP (can coexist in same computer): Eiffel
Heidelberg SW RIP (for second release, in this case), any other HP SW RIP
developed according to the HP SW RIP product line specification.

Any kind of incompatibility must be communicated and approved by HP
representative.

OEM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT NUMBER

d) The maintenance releases established in c) above may vary by
mutual agreement of the parties.

2.- Request Classification and Response Times

Resources &
Schedule
Request Initial Response Assessment
Request Level Classification Time Response Time
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Critical 2 business days 5 business days

2 Non-critical 2 business days 5 business days

"Initial Response Time" is the time for a return call from SA to HP to
acknowledge the defect.

"Resources and Schedule Assessment Response Time" is the documented allocation
of all resources necessary to fix the problem within a period of time. In this
assessment SA will provide HP with the different options HP can choose from to
solve the problem.

o Critical: The customer experiences:

a) real or perceived data loss or corruption or an essential part
of the system is unusable for HP. Unusable means that HP can't
or won't use an essential part of the system because of its
design or a defect. Essential parts of the system are those that
HP need to use the system effectively. A critical request defect
will receive the full attention (100% of work time) of the
engineers with an appropriate knowledge on the problem area. In
addition, SA will report the status of repair efforts on a daily
basis.

b) customer effectiveness is severely compromised for an essential
part of the system although all essential parts of the system
can be used. This can be measured by comparison to customers
expectations, previous Printers, previous releases of the same
Printer or quality objectives established for the Printer or
system. Effectiveness refers to HP's Printer activity and
satisfaction with the work process provided by the system.
Satisfaction with the work process includes concerns such as
unpleasant or frustrating processes that affect the system's
fitness for use. This critical request will also receive the
full attention (100% of work time) of the engineer who has been
designated by SA as having primary responsibility for the area
in question. In addition, SA will report the status of repair
efforts on a weekly basis.

o Non critical: customer effectiveness:

a) is compromised, though not severely. All essential parts of the
system can be used. This classification is appropriate for all
parts of the system, essential or otherwise. This noncritical
request will receive a fair amount of the attention of one or
more of the engineering staff in order to fix the problem for
the next planned release.

b) can circumvent the problem and use the system with only slight
inconvenience.

c) a cosmetic defect.

Annex G

Eiffel RP Test Specification

1. Introduction

This document describes the Quality-testing Plan for the Eiffel RP project. It
is intended to document the overall quality expectations as well as the focus
areas of the project.

o HP Design Jet and printers

o Adobe PS Drivers

o Scanvec Amiable software RIP

o HP Remote Proofing Engine

o HP Maintenance tool

o Readme, on-line help, and Users Guide

2. Test Scope

Project Test Goals

o Test driver + PPD, software RIP and firmware interaction

o Test Remote Proofing engine and software RIP interaction

o Focus on client application testing using latest versions

o Strong test for English version

o Sanity test for localization's

o Release Candidates and GoldMaster versions of the software

A full regression test will be performed according to the matrix of supported
platforms. A basic test will be performed on all other platforms.

The Priority of testing the supported platforms will be as follows

o OS 8.6 Basic Test

o OS 9.1 Full Regression Test

o OSX classic Basic Test

o Win 98 Basic Test

o Win NT4 Basic Test

o Win ME Basic Test

Win 2000 Full Regression Test

o Win XP Basic Test

3. Areas not to be Tested

o Windows 3.1, Windows NT 3.51, Windows 95

o Mac OS 8.0 and previous versions

o Mac OS X native

o Lan Topologies other than l0baseT

o Older versions of Client applications listed

o Client applications not listed in document

o Product registration completion with HP website (this does not exclude
verification of browser launch with correct URL)

4. Areas to Test

4.1 Installation

All installer options will be tested that they install completely and in the
correct place. These options being Software Rip, HP Maintenance tool, HP Remote
Proofing engine, as well as Read me and Registration information. Installer will
also be checked for improvements that were spelled out in the Prototype release
notes. Other scenarios that will be checked will be reinstalling and installing
over previous driver builds.

4.2 Uninstallation

Uninstaller will be tested to make sure that it removes all installation
options. It will also be tested for improvements documented in Prototype release
document. These being that the uninstaller should remove the following:

o Short cuts and start menus

o All files in compressed and uncompressed folder

o System printers with designjet prefix

o Hotfolder ports

o Clear Registry

Mac

o Spooler

o Preference Files

o Desktop printer

o Designjet Folder

4.3 File/Job properties and Output

Printing features such as custom pages sizes, scaling, rotation, copies, etc
will be tested to see that they work correctly and that printed jobs reflect
selected properties. Both simple jobs and multipage jobs will be used to test
the printing features. Also all supported file types will be sent through the
RIP queue, those being:

o Native

4.4 Printing from Client Applications

Files will be sent from various client applications to test that they interact
correctly with the software RIP. This test will verify printing from graphic
arts applications as well as drag and drop of print files. The client
application test will also verify that the jobs use the PPD for job properties
instead of the Software RIP. Client applications that will be tested are below.

o Adobe PhotoShop- Both Mac and PC
o Adobe Illustrator- Mac Only
o Adobe PageMaker- Mac Only
o Adobe Acrobat- Both Mac and PC
o Quark Xpress- Mac Only
o Freehand- Mac and PC
o Corel Draw- PC Only

Testing will be conducted to see how the Software RIP functions under adverse
conditions. Items that will be tested include client to server disconnection
recovery, server to printer disconnection recovery, and how the RIP functions
after it has been on standby. Input testing of corrupt files will be done to see
that the appropriate error messages appear. Client testing will be performed
with both the RIP started and the RIP not started to see that the job is
delivered under both circumstances. Also a stress test of printing for several
hours will be performed to mimic real production conditions.

4.5 Connectivity

Scanvec-Amiable shall test that files can successfully be sent through different
protocols. Connections tested will be:

o AppleTalk - Mac only
o LPT - PC only
o USB - Mac and PC
o TCP/IP - Mac and PC

4.6 Documentation

Scanvec-Amiable shall check that the documentation is installed and that it is
launched correctly

o Readme
o On-line Help
o Maintenance Tool
o Users Guide

4.7 Localization

It is assumed that the localized versions of software are similar to the English
version so minimal functionality testing will be done. The localization testing
will mostly consist of an inspection of the user interface to ensure that
strings fit in the dialog boxes. All localization testing will be done on a
clean installation of a localized OS. Languages that will be tested are as
follows:

o French
o Italian
o German
o Spanish
o Traditional Chinese
o Simplified Chinese
o Japanese
o Korean

Amiable shall conduct a thorough test of the font-downloading feature. This
feature shall be exercised Japanese fonts for the following operating systems:
all major variants of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, and Windows 2000.

4.8 RP Engine

Remote Proofing Engine feature is new for this version. Remote Proofing Engine
integration shall have its own functionality testing as well as testing its
interaction with the software RIP. Area's that will be focused on are as
follows.

Integration

o Test that files generated by RP are accessible and usable by the SW RIP
(That is the files are readable by the SW Rip and appear in the expected
locations)

o Test that the default hot-folder supplied by the SW RIP processes files
properly; rip and print

o Verify under different installations that the registry keys generated by the
SW RIP, for consumption by RP, are properly set

o Test that RIP generated notification messages are accessible and useable by
RP (That is the files are readable by the RP and appear in the expected
locations)

o Test that the Job Ticket values are honored by the RIP. This includes but is
not limited to: print settings, media size, and orientation.

o The check notification options interact with the SW rip correctly either
halting the job or sending it to the SW RIP

RIP functionality limit testing

o Test that the RIP recovers gracefully from unsupported Job Ticket values or
configurations
