At A Glance:
| • | Once converted by IPDS Print, AFP/IPDS host documents print exactly as they would on an AFP/IPDS printer | |
| • | Significant reduction in cost by eliminating the need for dedicated IPDS printers | |
| • | Added flexibility by enabling the print of all applications on any printer | |
| • | Increase in printer productivity by producing all print volume on network attached printers |
IPDSPrint is a unique software solution that converts IPDS print streams, making them compatible with any PostScript printer on the network. In mixed environments, customers can even use M.I.S. Print for LCDS and IPDS to convert both data streams concurrently.
Advantages of IPDS Print:
| • | Enables IPDS printing to PostScript printers. | |
| • | Supports mainframe and AS/400 connectivity via TCP/IP, ESCON Channel, or Bus & Tag Channel. | |
| • | Supports clipping, scaling, and paper source control. | |
| • | Reprint jobs without re-processing jobs at the host computer. | |
| • | Converts LCDS and IPDS data streams concurrently in mixed environments. | |
| • | Runs as a background task with minimal intervention. | |
| • | Reduces printing expenses by consolidating printers. | |
| • | Provides the superior reliability of a Sun workstation. | |
| • | Requires no UNIX or Solaris knowledge. | |
| • | Extends IPDS printing capabilities to remote locations. | |
| • | Prints host documents to any printer on the network, delivering them to anyone, anywhere, at anytime. | |
| • | Prints to the best printer for the job. IPDSPrint’s flexibility allows you to choose the best printer based on the type of input and the type of output. | |
| • | Runs as a software application on a Sun-based print controller that already exists in many print environments. |
