With P/I™ Output Manager software, you benefit from greater operational efficiency, productivity and accountability.
| Overview | Features | Resources |
Managing today's document output requirements consumes valuable time, labor, and printer productivity. With the relentless pace of technology and the burden of legacy systems, many organizations struggle with complex, closed and highly diverse output technology infrastructures. Ultimately, the result is significant increases in operating costs.
The P/I™ Output Manager unique architecture optimizes your document workflow and frees you from the limitations of proprietary vendors and data streams. The key is robust print management functionalities that include everything from data stream transformation, resource management, and automated reprinting to enhanced production control and convenient viewing before, during and after output.
- Real-time processing, text based, any-to-any print stream transformation and generation of electronic output (PDF, XML or TIFF)
- Centralized printer control, resource management and job-level accounting
- Output device and vendor independence
- Flexibility to view documents before, during or after output
- Automated reprinting for reduced costs and rapid reprinting
- Output transfer across local or wide area networks in a wide range of formats
- Flexible connectivity options to accept data from a variety of legacy hosts
- Intelligent resource downloads based on data and time stamping
- Scalability from one server driving one printer to a full client/server configuration driving multiple production printers
- WYSIWYG proofing for easy application development/testing before production
Enable any print stream to be sent to P/I Output Manager or FlexServer for all common PDLs with checkpoint restart and compression capabilities using JESConnect. By combining JESConnect with P/I Output Manager software, you have a highly effective, server-based replacement for IBM PSF. When combined with the RESConnect module, it supports automated host-to-server resource management intelligently down-loadiing job resources from an MVS or z/OS mainframe to VIP or FlexServer via TCP/IP. Supporting AFP and LCDS/Metacode resources, RESConnect minimizes CPU cycles and network I/O by only downloading resources required for jobs.
