Host and Mainframe Printing

We'll get you printing

Migrating from dedicated mainframe printers to laser printing units is now a simple and highly cost-effective process. For example, load-balancing software offered by Bluemega ensures that high volume print demands can be spread across smaller machines, offering greater resilience (if one printer goes down, the others compensate) at vastly reduced cost.


We can supply emulation software to match any protocol to HP LaserJets; forms printing software eliminating the need for pre-printed stationery; and the most comprehensive corporate design template system in s.a.x. MasterLayout®.

Solution Summaries

MegaForm
Producing high-quality business forms is a fundamental part in the professional presentation of your company. The content must always be correct, but the presentation is just as important in determining how your contacts perceive your organisation. All too often your applications fail you by not by not providing you with the easy and flexibility you need to create printouts that project your image.

MegaForm is the easy way to escape limitations in your application. It provides a quick, programming-free method of pre-printed forms with fast, high quality, laser-printed forms, with no or minimal modification to existing applications. And you benefit from the huge opportunity for savings in the efficient printing of electronic stationery and colour as well as monochrome business forms.

MegaForm can generate many different types of documents, from invoices to packing slips, from the same data while allowing distribution options such as e.g. remote printing, e-mail and fax.

  

IPDS 100

IPDS 100 The IPDS 100 enables distributed printing of AFP / IPDS jobs from IBM mainframe or midrange computers on monochrome and colour workgroup HP laser printers in your network, giving you full flexibility and helping you take advantage of your printer investment.

The automatic language switching on your HP laser printer examines incoming print jobs and selects the appropriate page description language whether it is PCL, PCLXL, PostScript or IPDS, so you can use your HP laser printer for both your usual network printing and for your IBM AS / 400 or mainframe jobs.

  

PreScribe Emulation and Further Emulations

PreScribe Emulation solutions convert the Prescribe printer language to PCL, making it easier to install HP LaserJet technology across your enterprise. Either a printer specific DIMM is available, or NT / Windows 2000 compatible software.

Wide range of further emulations is available upon request, such as
  • IBM Proprinter PPDS
  • Epson ESC/P
  • Canon
  • Printronix VGL
  • CGM

 

W-ELP (Windows - Enhanced Laser Printing System)
Solutions for output management typically replace pre-printed forms for documents like invoices or shipping papers, or eliminate the need for dot matrix printers.

W-ELP is both easy to use and flexible, with options for barcodes and watermarks, NCR sets (non carbon copies), control for input and output tray selection and stapling, and even archiving, e-mailing and distribution of the print stream - independent of platform.
