Two Windows print servers. One takes print jobs from almost any system and sends them wherever they need to go; the other is an IPDS printer for your IBM host. Both give you full access to your print data.
A print server and virtual printer for any host. RPM receives jobs over LPD, port 9100 and more from UNIX, Linux, Windows, AS/400 and mainframes, then prints, converts, emails, archives or runs a program on each one.
An IPDS printer that runs on Windows. IBM i (AS/400) and z/OS print to ExcelliPrint as they would to an IBM printer, and it saves searchable PDF, PDF/A, TIFF, PostScript or PCL6, prints on any Windows printer, or emails the job.
RPM Remote Print Manager
If your printing needs are more complex than “Printer A” vs “Printer B” …
We designed RPM to solve many printing problems. Here are some current examples.
Send your print-ready job to each tray on your printer, ideal for multiple copies of sales records on colored stock.
Render many print job formats as PDF and, at the same time, send them to the printer of your choice.
Convert text, SCS and other host formats to PDF, or PCL Elite only . Then archive it to a folder, email it, or upload it by FTP Elite only .
Set your font, margins and lines per page or inch, pick a paper size in Windows printer setup, and RPM does the rest.
Run any program with your print job as input. Customers use it with Adobe, GhostScript and their own database loaders.
Pull text values out of your print job, such as an email address or a document name, and use them in processing.
Print a document and add it to a document management system such as DocuWare in one step. RPM can stand in for a JetDirect printer.
RPM and TCP/IP printing on the AS/400 grew up together, so RPM has a lot of built-in AS/400 support.
Add a graphic watermark to text print and PDFs, with a full menu of page selection and placement.
ExcelliPrint
To your IBM i or z/OS system, ExcelliPrint is an IBM 4028, 3812 or 3816 printer. It answers the host’s questions about paper, trays and fonts, takes part in error recovery and reports each page as printed, so the print writer works as it does with a real printer.
Save searchable PDF, or PDF/A-2b for archives, with optional passwords. Name each file from the job’s details.
Print through any printer’s own driver, following the host’s trays, output bins, duplex and copies.
No web server or admin port. Each queue accepts jobs only from the hosts you list.
One drawing engine handles text, fonts, images, bar codes, overlays and page segments, so a job looks the same in every format. All features • 4.0 vs. 5.0
