XCHANGE::PostScript Conversion Module
The XCHANGE::PostScript printer emulation module of the Solimar® Print Director™ Enterprise (SPDE) converts mainframe and Xerox LCDS/Metacode applications into PostScript for distribution to workgroup and production printers. The emulation can be used in conjunction with the PostScript module for outputting TIFF files to archiving systems.
XCHANGE::PostScript emulates Xerox LPS Metacode printers in online and offline modes. Data streams and resources are converted in real-time into PostScript specifically optimized for the output device. The data conversions can reach 20,000+ pages per minute on a Pentium 800.
