UNISPOOL« - HOW IT WORKS

UNISPOOL« comprises a host-resident core module, which provides the basic print file management functionality, plus a number of other host-based modules that each provides well-defined optional capabilities.

This product architecture lets users precisely tailor UNISPOOL« to meet the needs of their current print environment, while it also allows them to "scale" the functionality as their requirements grow. The core module (Print File Management Module) includes the command line interface and the basic print file management, configuration, and security capabilities.

The optional modules include:

Local Spooling: printer drivers and associated print file management functionality for print devices directly connected to the host.
Network Spooling: resident on each host, providing host-to-host print file transfer.
Distribution and Control: provides enhanced print file distribution and selection capabilities, as well as customised banners and dynamic print file handling.
Netprint: allows the inclusion of printers connected to the network, to terminal servers, and printers slaved to PCs; in the printing network.
Novell: enables bidirectional print file transfer between the host and Novell servers.
Lanman: enables bidirectional print file transfer between the host and OS/2 LAN Manager servers.
NT: enables bidirectional print file transfer between the host and NT servers and NT workstations.
Commander: a sophisticated graphical user interface based on MS-Windows, which allows access to the global printing environment using point-and-click technology.
