RPM Remote Print Manager is the only complete solution supporting LPD and stream protocols that enable users to receive and customize print jobs from any AS/400, mainframe, UNIX, or Windows-based system to any Windows printer - locally or remotely. The software is built to work seamlessly and run as a system service within the Windows 2000/NT/XP/2003 environments.

While many print servers only allow a straight pass-through of data from the host system, RPM provides extensive formatting capabilities in text printing, and the ability to work with third-party software.

The RPM product line has been tested with mainframe printing systems including IP PrintWay, VPS and Solve:EPS on MVS and OS/390; AS/400; UNIX platforms such as RedHat Linux, IBM AIX, Sun Solaris, SCO UNIX, and freeBSD; DEC VMS and OpenVMS, TCPware from Process Software, UCX; and PC print clients including INTELLIscribe®.

Using RPM to convert mainframe print data streams is far more economical than recoding mainframe applications or replacing high-volume printers. RPM provides the necessary conversion technology to include IBM mainframe-generated documents in your Windows network environment workflow, whether you are printing these documents to Windows-based printers or saving the files to disk for archiving or further processing.

Features:

• Easy configuration for fitting text output to any size paper. Support all fonts the printer can use. A variety of host data formats enable end users to print without host system modifications.
• Supports three queue types: text, raw, and filter. Unlimited print queue definitions accommodate routine and special printing needs. Customize data before printing. Transmit raw or pre-formatted files to any Windows printer.
• Users can easily select appropriate code page to use when printing. RPM can use any code page currently installed on the PC.
• Automatically create a print queue when a job is received, reducing network administration time by eliminating the need to search for misnamed queues.
• Extensive logging in RPM provides each message in an easy-to-read format. Each log message shows a unique RPM event number, the time, the source of the message, the application that generated the message, and the message text. RPM can be configured to log only a minimal amount of messages or high detail messages.
• Easily translate and convert text from different formats. Translate EBCDIC data, ASA carriage control codes, or convert SCS to ASCII for all queue types. In text mode, SCS formatting is preserved, including font changes and character positioning.
• The system administrator can completely hide RPM from the user minimizing user interaction and errors. The administrator can easily unhide RPM to do any configuration or maintenance as needed.
• When saving files to disk, RPM includes duplicate filename handling, filenames using job data such as date and time, user, job title, etc., plus options identified by key third-party integrators.
• Provides Multiple-Byte Character Sets (MBCS) for use in international languages such as Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.
• RPM follows the established UNIX model of using named queues to represent distinct processing requirements. Each print queue created in RPM is fully configurable, and independent from every other queue. This means that a queue specifies actual processing as well as the name of a printer or port.

System Requirements:

• Windows NT/2000/XP/2003
