Reduced overall cost of ownership for print. Discover many ways to save time and money through workload balancing, operator efficiency, centralization and automation of resource management, error recovery, accounting and other print-related tasks.
End-to-end print management.
  • Comprehensive resource management and page-level error recovery can reduce the time operators spend setting up and managing print jobs.
  • After resources are transformed and LCDS or metacode jobs are converted to AFP™, printing is managed by IBM Print Services Facility™ (PSF™) on z/OS®.
Single-source resource management for multiple printers.
  • Convert Xerox print resources, including forms, fonts, logos and images, into AFP while you retain copies of the originals.
  • Store formatting information from Xerox non-print resources, such as Job Descriptor Entries (JDE) and Page Descriptor Entries (PDE), to process and format jobs correctly.
  • Store resources centrally on z/OS to save time associated with coordinating the correct version of each resource on each printer.
Integrated accounting. With accounting integrated with the host system, you can centrally manage record keeping and simplify chargeback processing.
Standardization on a single application data stream in a multivendor environment. Boost productivity and leverage your z/OS investment. Combine Infoprint® XT Extender with Infoprint Server and other z/OS offerings, and you can accept input in many data streams and formats, and convert datastreams to and from AFP. Then, direct output to a wide variety of printers, softcopy storage and presentation solutions.
Integration with IBM's Content Manager on OnDemand. Use Infoprint XT to create an AFP environment, and you gain the flexibility to archive and retrieve documents as needed.
