Zoran Launches Next-Generation IPS 8.0 for Digital Printing Market

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 23 /-- Zoran Corporation (NASDAQ:ZRAN) announced its IPS 8.0 software solution for manufacturers of printers and multifunction devices offers new and updated interpreters for all leading page description languages (PDLs) -- including Microsoft's XML Paper Specification, or XPS -- in a flexible and portable platform for color and monochrome printers and multifunction peripherals.
"Zoran has worked proactively with QualityLogic to verify the correct behavior of XPS in hardcopy devices, and to validate the behavior of new applications such as Microsoft(R) Office 2007 with existing PDLs," said James Mater, president and CEO of QualityLogic (www.qualitylogic.com). "Our long-term partnership with Zoran demonstrates their commitment to PDL compatibility."
"Zoran is the number one supplier of PDL interpreters to the industry and we continue to bring highly innovative solutions to market. Today, only Zoran can deliver integrated XPS with market-leading interpreters for all leading PDLs in full source code for all OEM customers," said Tom Mager, vice president of software engineering, Zoran's Imaging Division. "The release of IPS 8.0 builds upon our successful IPS XPS early adopter customer program that assures customers compatibility with Microsoft's Windows Vista(TM) operating system."
Kevin Andresen, director of software product marketing, Zoran's Imaging Division, will be discussing the IPS XPS interpreter and XPS Document format on the XPS Super Panel at the Lyra Imaging Symposium in Rancho Mirage, California on January 30.
