DocPath, PCI’s partner in document software especially for
the run-native IBM “i” operating environment, has announced the availability of
Business Suite Industrial. It is a new
software solution that enables businesses to generate professionally-formatted
documents such as invoices and labels for printing on line matrix, serial
matrix, or thermal printers. This solution provides users with document design
technology that was previously only available to laser printer users.
The challenge of using line matrix technology is an
inability to have an easy and affordable way to design graphical documents for printing on a
line printer or other industrial units. With Business Suite Industrial, line matrix users can continue to
reap the benefits of a greener technology solution, migrate completely away from or use less expensive
and inflexible preprinted forms, and do far more with their printed documents.
Business Suite Industrial also includes an intuitive design
tool for creating professionally-formatted graphical documents that allow for
tables, images and data-driven messages, barcodes and more, which are commonly
used by industrial companies.
“Many businesses like the cost-effectiveness and efficiency
of existing industrial printers, but have been forced to migrate to laser due
to a severe lack of application flexibility. With DocPath, this is no longer
the case,” said Julio Olivares, the president and CEO of DocPath. “Industrial
printers are increasingly relevant by offering benefits such as lower energy
consumption, hardware longevity, lower cost of ownership, and support for
graphical forms generation.”
A renewed relevance for line matrix, serial and even thermal printing:
•A “greener” alternative – When factoring hardware
longevity, consumable waste, and energy consumption, line matrix is one of the
most environmentally-friendly ways to print.
•Lower cost of ownership – Especially for high volume and
high coverage print requirements, industrial printers can be the least
expensive to operate per page, long-term, providing an attractive alternative
to laser for nearly any business.
•Unmatched reliability – Continuous form industrial printers
maintain superior performance when exposed to humidity, extreme temperatures,
dust/dirt and other elements, making them ideal for harsh environments.
Business Suite Industrial is available for installation on
iSeries, Windows, UNIX, and Linux. Business Pro Suite, a more comprehensive
version enables support for laser printing, larger distributed print
environments, PDF generation, and automated delivery of documents to email or
fax.
