One particularly useful feature of (likely referring to Epson’s multi-function printer lineup using their proprietary IPL command language, common in industrial/label printers or older business MFPs) is:

Beyond print output, the MFP-IPL reimagines the scanning and copying functions. Current MFPs treat scanning as a passive image capture. An IPL-enabled scanner would actively map the topology of an original document—detecting embossed seals, handwritten signatures, or even the indentations from a ballpoint pen. This "3D surface scan" data would then be used during the copy function to replicate not just the color, but the tactile texture of the original. For legal and archival applications, this creates a verifiable facsimile, blurring the line between digital copy and physical artifact. Epson’s expertise in precision sensors (honed in its industrial printing division) makes this an achievable, rather than fanciful, goal. Epson MFP-ipl One particularly useful feature of (likely
The IPL sits the job parser and the hardware abstraction layer (HAL). It executes intermediate code (bytecode-like tokens) that represents operations such as: this creates a verifiable facsimile
