Simplify Your AS/400 Printing Environment
Gestetner's OMS is an AS/400-resident solution, eliminating reliability and security concerns, as well as the host-to-server-to-PCL printer path that is typically required when outputting AS/400 data to networked printers. The OMS system captures, merges and routes print output from the AS/400 to standard PCL output devices, including Gestetner laser printers and multi-function systems, fax systems, standard e-mail applications and file archiving devices.
The OMS environment provides a full-featured suite of applications for AS/400 users, permitting them to easily access all of the advanced capabilities of Gestetner digital imaging systems. Users define printer use for real-time or batch output, define job parameters, and can run batch jobs automatically – without additional user intervention – using stored print specifications.
The software accesses all printing features controlled via the PCL/PJL language, meaning users have access to the full feature sets of Gestetner distribution and production output systems, including:- Specifying the paper drawer (or drawers) to be used for each print job
- Specifying covers and page inserts – all in a single print run
- Specifying an output location for each print job – either a finisher or a mailbox
- Selecting automatic stapling or hole punching for professional finishing
- Selecting duplex output, which reduces paper consumption
- Selecting fonts – including scaling to required CPI/LPI
- Inserting a separator sheet or jog output for job separation – a beneficial feature in busy output environments
- Defining forms distribution
In addition, several spool file and data-related functions can be manipulated by the user, including:- Document format modification
- Font selections
- Output large jobs to multiple Gestetner LAN output systems
- Automatic AS/400 Printer Configuration
Bringing the Paperless Office Closer Than You Imagined
For many corporations, the AS/400 is at the heart of core business processes, including forms output and check-printing — two of the biggest operational expense areas in operations. With OMS, you can dramatically reduce these costs through the application's electronic forms software. In addition to significant cost-savings, you'll also:- Eliminate obsolescence and associated waste
- Lower paper costs
- Print forms on-demand
- Eliminate labor-intensive processes such as loading, bursting, stripping, collating, and distributing
