the power to print what you want, when you want, where you want. RPM Remote Print Manager What is RPM? • • • What is RPM? RPM is the only complete LPD print server software designed specifically for Windows® platforms. RPM uses Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to receive print jobs from local or remote locations. RPM allows users to customize and control the processing and output of print jobs. RPM can accept print data from AS/400 s, mainframes, UNIX, Linux, and other Windows systems. RPM combines queue management functionality and Windows resources to create an ideal printing environment. AS/400 and Mainframe How does RPM work?

the power to print what you want, when you want, where you want. RPM Remote Print Manager AS/400 and Mainframe Printing • • Transitioning from centralized, mainframe or midrange legacy-based document processing and printing to on-demand documents at the point of need. Mainframe applications are hobbled by the print codes that don’t work with newer network and PC printers. – The cost-effectiveness of off-loading mainframegenerated documents to network servers and remote PC-compatible printers, the web, e-mail and content management systems provides immediate measurable paybacks. It is simply less expensive to print locally than to ship pre-printed and packaged paper. • What is RPM? AS/400 and Mainframe How does RPM work? Queue Management Typical Situations Information flows more freely if local printers are capable of printing mainframe created documents when and where they are required.

the power to print what you want, when you want, where you want. RPM Remote Print Manager AS/400 and Mainframe Printing • • Network and PC-based printers typically are multifunctional but don’t process mainframe generated code unless it’s converted to readable print languages. Conversion of mainframe printer data streams is far more economical than re-coding mainframe applications or replacing the high-volume workhorse printers. Data conversion technology is necessary to integrate and include IBM mainframe-generated documents into the Client/Server Windows 2000 networks now being installed. Furthermore, customers maintain greater control of the document generation process. Implementing this conversion capability with RPM is easy to do. What is RPM?

the power to print what you want, when you want, where you want. RPM Remote Print Manager Queue Management • What is RPM? Queue Management is an integral part of RPM. – Understanding queue types and managing queues is one of the many features that set RPM apart from other LPD servers, hardware or software. – Each queue has its own setup information. Queues operate independently of each other. Each queue has its own printer setup and queue type. You can configure separate queues for the same printer, each with different characteristics. – RPM offers three types of print queues: • • • AS/400 and Mainframe How does RPM work?

the power to print what you want, when you want, where you want. RPM Remote Print Manager Queue Management Options The TEXT QUEUE receives print data from a host system and then modifies the data to print to any Windows print device. The TEXT QUEUE can modify lines or characters per inch, change fonts, suppress banner pages, inset characters, and even add printer finishing functions. The RAW QUEUE receives print jobs from the host system and sends the data directly to the printer. The RAW QUEUE includes enhanced features and translation options such as converting EBCDIC, SCS and ASA to ASCII. The FILTER QUEUE receives print data from a host system then saves or writes the files to disk. The FILTER QUEUE can integrate print data with third party software for user customization.

The RPM TEXT Queue allows RPM to adapt text to any Windows® printer using the print driver. RPM handles many text formats intelligently, while providing a simple interface. The formatting options found in the TEXT Queue are a key reason network administrators and other IT professionals make the switch from their existing print server to RPM.
