In 1977, Xerox introduced laser imaging for computer printing with the 9700 which was based on the 9200 [7] copier and digital imaging technology from PARC. Although the Xerox 8010 Star , introduced in 1981, was not a commercial success, one of the technologies it developed was the XP-12 marking engine for the Xerox 8044 printer, which became ...
Printer tracking dots, also known as printer steganography, DocuColor tracking dots, yellow dots, secret dots, or a machine identification code (MIC), is a digital watermark which many color laser printers and photocopiers produce on every printed page that identifies the specific device that was used to print the document.
Xerox management was afraid the product version of Starkweather's invention, which became the 9700, would negatively impact their copier business so the innovation sat in limbo until IBM launched the 3800 laser printer in 1976. The first commercial non-impact printer was the Xerox 1200, introduced in 1973, [77] based on the 3600 copier. It had ...
A Xerox digital photocopier in 2010. A photocopier (also called copier or copy machine, and formerly Xerox machine, the generic trademark) is a machine that makes copies of documents and other visual images onto paper or plastic film quickly and cheaply.
The Xerox Dover laser printer was an early laser printer manufactured at Xerox PARC in the late 1970s. [1] Around 35 were built. [1] It was a successor to the EARS printer, itself a successor to the Xerox Graphics Printer. [2] The Dover was developed by Gary Starkweather. [3] The printer was based on a stripped down Xerox 7000 reduction ...
In computers, a printer driver or a print processor is a piece of software on a computer that converts the data to be printed to a format that a printer can understand. The purpose of printer drivers is to allow applications to do printing without being aware of the technical details of each printer model.
The Xerox 9700 excelled at printing high-value documents on cut-sheet paper with varying content (e.g. insurance policies). [6] Inspired by the Xerox 9700's commercial success, Japanese camera and optics company Canon developed in 1979 the Canon LBP-10, a low-cost desktop laser printer. Canon then began work on a much-improved print engine, the ...
These machines, based on the Wildflower architecture described in a paper by Butler Lampson, incorporated most of the Alto innovations, including the graphical user interface with icons, windows, folders, Ethernet-based local networking, and network-based laser printer services. Xerox only realized its mistake in the early 1980s, after the ...
