XCHANGE::IPDS Conversion Module
The XCHANGE::IPDS printer emulation module of the Solimar® Print Director™ Enterprise (SPDE) converts mainframe (DJDE, Line Data) and Xerox LCDS/Metacode applications into IPDS for distribution to workgroup and production printers. The module is used in conjunction with the IPDS Print Controller output module to drive IPDS printers.
XCHANGE::IPDS emulates Xerox LPS Metacode printers in online and offline modes. Data streams and resources are converted in real-time into IPDS specifically optimized for the output device. The data conversions can reach 20,000+ pages per minute on a Pentium 800.
With the built-in software automation, the Solimar solution has increased our overall output production by 15%Alvaro Diaz, General Manager AMF Impresion Variable S. A
We were able to reduce our customer project turnaround time by 75%...other automated improvements helped increase our production output by approximately 200%Anthony Fenner, Manager Application Development Apex Information Technologies
