Easy IPDS AFP Printing to Xerox Multi-functional Printers & Copiers

IPDS print environments have traditionally been expensive to maintain, primarily because of the cost of IPDS printers. But many companies continue to maintain these environments because of the benefits of Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) printing. With ExcelliPrint, the move from expensive IPDS printers to Xerox MFPs is easy and affordable. ExcelliPrint allows IPDS jobs to be printed on Xerox printers, replacing IBM IPDS printers. Please feel free to download a fully-functional, 21-day trial copy and try it out for yourself.

Xerox dealers no longer have to walk away from mainframe or AS/400 printing environments where the customer is using IPDS. ExcelliPrint is a Windows-based print utility that converts IPDS print streams into PCL, GDI, PDF, TIFF, JPEG or PNG files for output on a Xerox multi-functional or high speed printer / copier. Xerox also uses RPM Remote Print Manager® to receive files via TCP/IP.

ExcelliPrint's Features and Benefits

Spooled file management

Spooled files can be held or released without the need of an additional emulator.

Benefit: No need for additional software to release your IPDS spooled files. ExcelliPrint provides a convenient and efficient interface to manage spooled files.

Support for multiple output devices

A device can be a printer or folder; users can configure more than just one output device. Devices can be local or remote.

Benefit: Unlike comparable products that are licensed for only one device, ExcelliPrint supports multiple output devices. ExcelliPrint includes sophisticated archiving abilities normally found in high-end solutions.

Browser-based interface

Platform-independent browser allows simple, efficient administration from ANY authorized computer.

Benefit: All you need is a browser for easy local and remote administration; quickly and easily view your log, setup, devices, and more. Make changes to your devices and jobs within your existing Web browser.

Spooled file management

Spooled files can be held or released without the need of an additional emulator.

Benefit: No need for additional software to release your IPDS spooled files. ExcelliPrint provides a convenient and efficient interface to manage spooled files.

Role-based administration

Role-based administration allows fine control of ExcelliPrint settings and functions.

Benefit: ExcelliPrint provides different levels of administrative privilege to fit the company's security needs.

IBM iSeries device management

Users are able to create iSeries print devices or redirect existing devices using the browser-based interface.

Benefit: Easily configure an AS/400 to print to the ExcelliPrint client.

Runs as a Windows service

ExcelliPrint runs as a native Windows service.

Benefit: The application receives print jobs without requiring a Windows user to be logged in to the computer where ExcelliPrint is running.

Browser-based interface

Platform-independent browser allows simple, efficient administration from ANY authorized computer.

Benefit: All you need is a browser for easy local and remote administration; quickly and easily view your log, setup, devices, and more. Make changes to your devices and jobs within your existing Web browser.

Secure Web interface

The application uses a secure Web interface that supports SSL and offers role-based administration.

Benefit: ExcelliPrint's embedded Web server supports SSL and does not require Apache or IIS to be installed. Because we use SSL, sensitive information remains protected.

Print-to-file archiving

The ability to save files to selected archive folders on the user's computer or on the network.

Benefit: You can save the converted IPDS output to a network storage unit, a Windows share, or your own PC. This gives you the ability to archive and manage your print jobs.

Multiple simultaneous connections

User can configure multiple ports, each with its own IPDS printer emulation and output device; each user-configured port can accept simultaneous connections.

Benefit: Unlike other IPDS solutions, ExcelliPrint accepts data on multiple connections on a single port without delays and supports multiple ports. As a result, you can consolidate multiple IPDS printers without server-side modifications.

Converting AFP to PDF

In addition to its other advanced features, ExcelliPrint is able to take an AFP data stream and convert it directly to a PDF file. In this way, ExcelliPrint functions as an efficient AFP-to-PDF converter.

Benefit: ExcelliPrint lets you choose whether to spool your mainframe/mid-range AFP data to any Windows-based printer or save the jobs to file. The choice is yours.
