DECprint Supervisor for KODAK Printers (KPS) for OpenVMS

Product Description:

This layered software product supplements the DECprint Supervisor for
OpenVMS product, allowing direct connection from the OpenVMS VAX operating
system to a KODAK 1392 Model 44 production printer and thus eliminating the
need for a third-party interface. It performs the following functions:

o  Reads document data on the host and sends it to the printer for page
   description language interpretation.

o  Responds to error and status conditions of the printer.

o  Notifies the job scheduler of printer and job status.

o  Supports the printing of complex pages, forms, and graphics through
   standard OpenVMS VAX interfaces, such as the DCL PRINT command and the
   DECwindows print widget.

o  Supports printing from MS-Windows based PCs and Macintosh computers
   through Digital's PATHWORKS products or third-party products.

o  Provides all relevant PRINT and /PARAMETER option qualifiers and values
   currently available in DCPS software, plus enhancements that take
   advantage of the KODAK 1392 Model 44's unique capabilities, such as
   printing covers, selected pages, and multiple copies and stacking and/or
   stapling output.

Benefits:

o  Kodak printers teamed with Digital's open architecture and software
   integration capabilities allow users to print on demand and offer:
   - Dramatic cuts in storage and inventory costs and reduced printing
     costs.
   - Virtual elimination of costs associated with document obsolescence.
   - Documents that are always current.

o  This integrated printing solution is well suited for high speed (92 pages
   per minute), high volume (1.5 million pages per month), cut sheet, and
   simplex or duplex print jobs. Output can include technical documentation,
   manuals, customized booklets, newsletters, reports, and other materials
   that are time and/or business critical.

Availability and Ordering:

The DECprint Supervisor for KODAK Printers for OpenVMS product is now
available in both the U.S. and Europe through local Digital sales offices.

POLYCENTER Print Queue Manager V4.3

Product Description:

POLYCENTER Print Queue Manager V4.3 (SPD 62.76.01) eases print queue
management in an enterprise, enabling operations personnel to set up printer
queues on multiple systems from a central point. A menu driven operations
tool, it defines and maintains many different print queue parameters from a
central point, such as LAT, DQS, physically attached, PostScript, and LPS
printers. V4.3 supports DCPS V1.0 and DCPS-PLUS software, which is required
on the target nodes where the queues are set up.

POLYCENTER Print Queue Manager also can be used jointly with POLYCENTER
System Watchdog. The System Watchdog monitors each queue and triggers an
action routine (for example, automatic restart), using the Print Queue
Manager setup for that queue, whenever the queue is found in a "paused,"
"stalled," or "stopped" state.

Benefits:

o  POLYCENTER Print Queue Manager saves time and facilitates operations
   management by centrally storing print queue definitions and device
   parameters.

o  It minimizes the risk of errors and increases productivity for print
   queue setups.

o  It simplifies the creation, update, and deletion of print queues on any
   client node within the managed domain, such as a datacenter or a complete
   enterprise. This is achieved using the client/server approach.

o  It lets users view, print, or list all print queue definitions, along
   with a queue activity report, and it includes a queue balancing feature.

Availability and Ordering:

POLYCENTER Print Queue Manager V4.3 is available now in the U.S. through
Digital Professional Service Centers, and in Europe through Digital sales
offices.
