Integrating Multifunctional products and commercial laser printers into legacy applications from enterprise platforms can improve efficiency and significantly reduce print costs.
Reflex offers a wide range of Host Printing solutions to support main/mid-frame systems like AS/400, UNIX/Linux and SAP R/3. This allows users to access all the functionality of commercial laser printers and multifunction products such as auto double siding, finishing (booklet-making, on line stapling and hole punching), as well as producing output in colour, and printing BAR codes and OCR fonts.
As a result many customers are switching from expensive and noisy dedicated AFP/IPDS printers such as proprietary dot matrix printers and line printers to commercial laser printers and multifunction products that provide enhanced speed of printing and more versatility including colour output that really gets your documents noticed.
How it works
There are many different solutions that can be tailored to the customer’s exact needs. However one popular product is:
Host to LAN Printing Suite
- A client version is installed on every machine that requires Host printing. It is very simple to install and use and is ideal for small to medium systems and branch offices.
- A server version is used in larger networks, and/or where there is a requirement for batch printing. It works with Microsoft and Novell server platforms.
Host to LAN is a software - based solution. It is the most cost-effective alternative to AFP/IPDS and non-IPDS (SCS, DSC) print jobs. It eliminates the need to maintain and control expensive IPDS and SNA infrastructures for the sole purpose of printing documents. It removes the need to walk around the office to get print jobs from expensive Host printers. Instead, users can print to an existing printer.
The Host to LAN package is a convenient, efficient and highly cost effective solution for all IBM Host printing and document distribution to printers attached to personal computers and local area networks.
