PrintServer Software for Third-Party UNIX Platforms

HIGHLIGHTS

o  Robust printing solutions for Pyramid, Sequent, SGI, Solaris, and Unisys,
   with features unmatched by those in operating systems

o  Printer management allows for cost, time, and resource savings

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

PrintServer software (SPD 48.09) now provides a robust, network printing
solution for five more UNIX based operating environments: Pyramid OSx,
Sequent Dynix, Silicon Graphics IRIX, Sun Solaris, and Unisys UNIX System V.
Continuing Digital's commitment to open systems and network printing, it
enables direct printing access to specific features (such as input and
output tray selection) of Digital's PrintServer printers from any system on
the network.

Other outstanding characteristics of the software:

o  Automatic data-type detection and translation identifies ASCII data and
   translates the print file into PostScript or PCL for printing on the
   designated PrintServer printer.

o  Support for one- and two-sided printing, portrait and landscape page
   orientation, multiple page images per sheet side (number-up), margin
   alteration, and other typical requirements.

o  Loads fonts, forms, and other PostScript resources as permanent printer
   resources, so the most frequently used items are always ready. This saves
   users the costs of purchasing preprinted forms and letterhead.

o  The remote management graphical user interface allows for remotely
   monitoring and managing print jobs and printer activity from any
   workstation on the network working in a Motif based environment. This
   saves system managers time in physically attending to printers, as the
   job of managing many PrintServer printers can be accomplished at their
   desks.

o  Centralized accounting provides system managers with a convenient way to
   track and analyze printer usage on a per-user basis for all jobs sent to
   each printer. This allows the system managers to bill (by cross-charging
   departments or users) for printer usage and/or understanding whether
   printers are being under- or over-utilized.

o  Controlled access to PrintServer printers is also provided: system
   managers can specify in the printer configuration which systems are
   allowed to print, so as to grant only the top priority jobs access to a
   specific printer. Thus these jobs can print without interruption.

o  PrintServer status and error messages are displayed in realtime,
   indicating when print jobs have started, input trays have become empty,
   and more. Messages can also be viewed by the remote console utility or in
   the printer's log file.

o  No changes are required in any application or operating system print
   facility. The PrintServer software uses standard utilities, making it
   easy for network administrators to set up their printing environment.
   Users can then access the PrintServer printers in ways that are familiar
   to them for any directly connected printer.

Please note that while the PrintServer software provides printing support
for all Digital PrintServer printers, it provides booting support for the
turbo PrintServer 20, PrintServer 32, and PrintServer 17 family only.

AVAILABILITY AND ORDERING

The new PrintServer software kits are orderable now from Digital and its
business partners; shipments begin next month. Licenses for this product do
not have to be separately ordered, because a license to use the PrintServer
Software is included with each PrintServer printer. Service prices are on a
per year basis.
