document is physically divided, each file can be sent to a different e-mail address,

retrieved, or printed individually, which replaces the need for a manual ″burst and

Better Access to IPDS Printers

In today’s network environments, workstation users are often limited to personal and LAN printers. Infoprint Server lets any user in the network send print jobs in a wide range of formats from OS/400 and LAN clients to IPDS printers attached to OS/400.

Handle Print Jobs Effectively

Infoprint Server increases the types of jobs you can print through your OS/400. Because print jobs are managed by the OS/400 spool, they are secure and recoverable. OS/400 accounting information for print jobs is logged automatically.

Detect and Transform Job Data Streams

Image Print Transform, a component of OS/400, automatically detects the data stream for PCL, PDF, and PostScript jobs that LAN clients submit. Transform Manager then uses the appropriate transform to convert the data stream for printing on an IPDS printer.

Support Common Printer Languages

Infoprint Server provides support for those output languages common in both iSeries and network environments, including SCS, AFP, line data, PostScript, PCL, and PDF. Infoprint Server protects your investment in printing applications and hardware while providing the extensions critical to re-engineer printing and output business functions.

Create AFP Output from Images on Windows

Infoprint Server lets you convert the most common image formats (GIF, TIFF, and JPEG) to AFP. This simplifies graphics maintenance by letting you use the same graphics in your OS/400 documents, workstation documents, and Web presentation.

External Formatting Flexibility

Many applications ported to OS/400 output line data. Through the Create AFP Data command, Infoprint Server gives you more ways to use this output without modifying the application. It lets you view the line data before printing, packages the data with the resources needed for printing, and lets you print it on PCL printers.

This benefit lets you use Infoprint Designer to easily specify document and report page formatting while maintaining the flexibility of viewing and printing your output almost anywhere.

Easier Navigation of Large Files

As businesses increase electronic file use, it becomes necessary to be able to quickly navigate those files. For example, an application might create customer statements. Infoprint Server gives you the ability to index the statement file so that customer service representatives can quickly find and view a customer’s statement. It can also package the statements with their resources. This lets customer service representatives view the statement on their workstations in the same format as the customer’s copy. This also makes archiving more manageable because it lets you to retrieve an individual statement when you need it.
