iJET Technology and the iJET Panel

 

Perhaps the most innovative idea in a large format scanning since the advent of color scanning, iJET Technology is truly a revolutionary new feature for Vidar scanners. For the first time in large format imaging, a host PC is not required to perform many advanced scanning and copying functions.

Users can attach their compatible large format printer directly to the scanner’s high-speed “USB-OUT” port to make copies directly from the iJET-equipped scanner to their printer. If the user prefers, the compatible printer can remain on their existing LAN and the scanner can be connected directly to the network through the iJET ethernet port. This also allows the scanner to scan directly to any PC on the LAN as well. If the user requires a host PC for their existing scanning software, then the scanner can still be connected and used with compatible software. If necessary, several of these different configuration options can be used in combination with others, to provide a scanning/copying system that fits any environment imaginable. With the touch of a button, users can make a copy to an attached supported printer, make a copy to a supported networked printer or scan to a network PC, all without an attached host PC.

How does it work?
Inside the scanner is a completely redesigned control architecture, including a high-speed processor and an embedded operating system. A pre-loaded, advanced copy software runs within this environment to provide all of the user functions for scanning to the network and copying to a printer. The user controls these functions through the iJET Panel; an innovative new touchpad interface with a LCD display that allows the user to navigate the iJET menus with ease.

Also embedded in the on-board computer, are all of the options necessary to setup the scanner and software to operate on the LAN or as a stand-alone copier.
