Getting Legacy Print Streams Under Control
So you work for a large organisation which produces a “Legacy” print stream, such as Xerox LCDS or Metacode. You’d like to do something with it, as the outsourced printing of same costs an arm and a leg. Yet the applications which produce the Legacy print are ancient and unable to be changed, even if there is any certainty that the right source code is available, with programmers who understand it!
Additionally, you are now starting to run into compliancy problems, as new legal requirements apply to the Legacy print which is distributed to staff and customers alike. “Don’t they know there isn’t any way to change this stuff?” you think to yourself. . .
Well, there is indeed a way to “change this stuff” AND provide industry-standard print streams to your outsourced print provider.
Pitney Bowes’ Emtex Output Manager can convert your Legacy print stream to industry-standard Postscript, the easiest form of print stream for a print bureau to handle (or any other print language they prefer). Output Manager provides complete Legacy print stream transformation, with:
· Tray mapping from MAIN, AUX etc. to WHITE, LETTER etc.
· File bundling of many small files into efficient print run sizes
· Re-plexing of pages/sides to suit
· Resource optimisation with all required resources present in each print file
Pitney Bowes’ Emtex Output Enhancement allows you to modify the print stream during transformation. This allows you to make those compliancy changes and enhance the output in many ways:
· Add/Replace colour, images, text or forms anywhere in documents
· Add high quality electronic overlays/stationery/inserts and move to “plain paper printing”
· Insert targeted marketing messages based on your external demographics’ database
· Extract text data and write log file(s) with control totals etc. for audit control
Add Address block DPID barcodes and sort into quantity/envelope break point
