FEATURES AND BENEFITS
InfoPrint Manager for AIX and Windows
A scalable, centralized output management solution designed to boost productivity.
| Features | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Centralized management | Simplify operations and lower total cost of ownership by managing and monitoring output systems through a GUI that allows operators to more easily view, set up or change the characteristics or defaults of both printers and jobs remotely from any point on the network. Users can start, stop, delete or move print jobs, or start, stop, back-space, forward-space or shut down printers. |
| User and operator notification | Improves productivity by delivering information about events occurring with print jobs or printers to users via e-mail, on-screen notifications or wireless devices. Customize the notification profiles for your jobs and printers so the appropriate people get the message and can respond quickly. |
| Intelligent document routing and scheduling | Increases the efficiency of operations by matching each print job to the right printer to help maximize productivity and reduce the cost of reprints. Jobs can be scheduled to destinations based on their size, resolution, printer model or media type. Jobs can be queued automatically to destinations that support their requirements, such as duplexing or other document formats. |
| Flexible configuration options | Leverage existing investments by setting up your print infrastructure to balance workloads across multiple printers. Streamlining overall printing and reducing job interruptions can improve the utilization rates of your printers—helping to lower your total cost of ownership. InfoPrint® Manager’s configuration options allow you to: — Cluster printers — Easily reroute jobs while replacing supplies or performing preventive maintenance — Hold jobs that fail and automatically disable printers with problems — Transform data and print concurrently — Save processed files for efficient reprinting or for printing multiple copies — Retry jobs automatically upon network failures — Support multiple input and output datastreams — Send and receive faxes — Receive jobs from multiple locations and send them to a variety of locations and/or devices. |
| Varied job submission methods | Increase flexibility and scalability through the ability to receive jobs from multiple sources, including the Microsoft® Windows® desktop and mainframe systems via the Download or Download Plus features of PSF for IBM z/OS®. Share printers between host and workstation applications to maximize productivity and leverage existing investments. Associate your existing fax solution with InfoPrint Manager and be able to send faxes using familiar job submission methods. |
| Datastream transforms support | Manage output at the enterprise level to optimize efficiency without changing existing applications, data streams or print commands. InfoPrint Manager includes data stream transforms that allow you to accept jobs from different applications and route them to the appropriate print devices, including InfoPrint Solutions Company and non-InfoPrint Solutions Company printers. The SAP print feature allows you to extend output management in an enterprise resource planning (ERP) environment by submitting SAP ABAP and OTF data to be transformed to AFP™ format and printed. And, you can even submit with InfoPrint XT™ for AIX or Windows technology |
