Solimar Print Director Enterprise (SPDE) Base System
The Base System software of the Solimar® Print Director™ Enterprise is a series of unique and integrated modules that work together to provide sophisticated print control and job management. Base includes standard core features that all system modules are built upon. This core system includes basic input, emulation, output, and specialized utility modules that provide a powerful GUI queue/spool print management system.
3211 to ASCII Conversion Module
Converts 3211 line printer data into ASCII data for printing applications on PCL or PostScript printers.
ASCII to 3211 Conversion Module
Converts ASCII text files into 3211 format for printing on BUS/TAG channel attached printers.
Blocker Module
Converts data between different blocking formats and provides the flexibility to process computer data that is stored, moved, and copied in a variety of formats.
Data Converter Module
Modifies print jobs at run time, adds signatures, makes data unprintable, or corrects coding errors.
Disk Spooler Module
Names and writes files to disk drives for further processing. Data received from any input modules can be spooled to disk.
