Product Features
- Connects to a 10baseT/100baseTX TCP/IP network & can support unlimited attached PCL printers
- Configured via a built-in web user interface
- Accepts data from mainframe, Unix, Windows and Linux application servers using Berkeley LPD protocol, IPP protocol and simple TCP raw-data transfer. It can also collect print jobs from Windows (SMB/CIFS) and Unix (NFS) network-shared “hot folders”.
- Can masquerade as multiple printers by assuming an IP address for each printer. (IP Aliasing), using this feature, it is possible to use BarSTORM to replace a number of legacy desktop printers with no change to the application which generates the print jobs.
- Supports most PCL printers & multi-function devices
- Can store custom PCL Fonts, Forms, Signatures and Logos, managed from the web interface.
Barcoding
Virtually any barcode can be printed in many sizes or orientation and read by all readers and scanners
- Over 68 standard 1D & 2D barcodes
- Seamless integration with ERPs including: SAP R/3 (from V3.0), Oracle, Peoplesoft, JD Edwards and BAAN
- Quality assured as barcodes are verified before printing with automatic checksum calculation, bars interleaving and printing of error messages for invalid data
- Barcodes can be accessed via drivers, PCL commands and escape characters for ease of use from AS/400, Unix and mainframe hosts
- Many barcodes with adjustable height, width and human-readable text, offering unrivalled flexibility
- Bar code generation at the printer ensures printing speeds increase and LAN bandwidth reduces
- For use in financial, retail, industry, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, utilities and labelling applications
