AS400 Desktop Printing
RPM Remote Print Manager® helps AS/400 print jobs come out the way you expect them to! AS/400 desktop printing using RPM (for all Windows® platforms) gives you unparalleled flexibility in network print management.
RPM enhances the AS/400 desktop TCP/IP printing capabilities allowing the user to customize and control processing of print jobs received on a TCP/IP network.
- Reduced CPU Time: Moving SCS rendering off the host computer reduces CPU time.
- Reduced Print Time: Clients have reported print times reduced from minutes to seconds.
- Capture to Disk: With RPM you can capture the file to disk or print to file.
- To EBCDIC: The application supports country-specific extensions to EBCDIC.
RPM Solving Problems in the AS400 Industry
- A national bank uses RPM to convert SCS to ASCII, and then saves the print jobs to disk for archiving with a COLD storage solution. Moving SCS rendering off the host computer reduces the AS/400 CPU time.
- A logistics services company receives bills of lading at various locations from an AS/400, and then RPM sends the print files to a third-party supply chain management solution.
- An electric cooperative uses RPM to print AS/400-generated customer receipts on locally attached Windows printers. Cashiers then return the receipts to customers and endorse the checks with a print job sent from the AS/400 to RPM that has formatted the text file to print properly on the check.
- A food services company sends accounting worksheets from its AS/400 to RPM on the accounting manager’s PC. The worksheets are saved to a folder on the local machine. The manager can then distribute the worksheets to others. On the manager’s PC, RPM is hidden from view but continues to receive the jobs.
