PRISMAproduction Host

High performance print management software for professional spooling, transmission and data

Build in power for top performance by choosing one or more of the PRISMAproduction Host server based modules.

Features

Print directly from the mainframe to IPDS printer(s)

The SPS module prints mission critical, host based data from the mainframe directly to IPDS printers. This professional spooling system is designed to control high volume production.

Enrich, sort and index existing AFP print datastreams

The CIS module enhances, converts, indexes and sorts AFP data to improve the communication value of all your documents. Normalize, optimize and enrich AFP or line data easily. With CIS you will always have the right resources for the job embedded and index information for archiving or postal sorting will be generated simply and accurately.

Cost-effective data transfer to the PRISMAproduction Server

The router module enables distribution of documents for remote printing using various protocols. It is a high performance solution for cost-effective data transfer to the PRISMAproduction Server.

The industry standard download interface also allows user to download AFP files securely to the PRISMAproduction server.
