SAN DIEGO, CA, Feb. 18, 1992- OCTuS, Inc. today announced OCTuS
PrintConductor 650, a stand-alone print server for Novell networks. OCTuS
PrintConductor 650 simplifies the task of controlling all print resources
on a network including job management, font management, and resource
accounting.
OCTuS PrintConductor 650 manages all print jobs on the network,
automatically directing print jobs to the best printer based upon the size
of the job, the fonts used, and type of paper required. In addition, it
immediately communicates the status of the printer back to the end user.
For example, if a user was printing a document with Times Roman as the
specified font and letter head as the paper type, OCTuS PrintConductor 650
will send it to the printer which holds letter head. If the paper was out,
a message would be sent back to the user.
In addition to print job management, OCTuS PrintConductor 650 allows all
network users to access all of its resident fonts from both DOS and
Windows. The print server has over 600 resident bit mapped fonts including
the entire Hewlett Packard (HP) LaserJet Series A-Z cartridge library. All
35 PostScript typefaces in HP bit map format are also included. OCTuS
PrintConductor 650 has a special HP printer driver for use with Microsoft
Windows, which allows access to all resident fonts from any Windows
applications.
Having fonts resident on OCTuS PrintConductor 650 is less expensive than
other alternatives, such as purchasing soft fonts or cartridges. It also
reduces network traffic by effectively managing all fonts that are
available on the network.
OCTuS PrintConductor 650 also provides the network manager with complete
resource accounting, easing the task of cost control. All print jobs,
including specifics such as fonts and number of pages, are tracked,
allowing the manager to control costs and maximize network resources. It
also allows network managers to assign user privileges and keep user and
printer profiles for reference.
OCTuS PrintConductor 650 is based on a 386 SX 16Mhz system in a Mini-Tower
Case and comes with 2Mbyte RAM and 100 Mbyte hard disk. It utilizes a
customized version of MOSAIC software from Insight Development and works
with NetWare ELS ll, Advanced NetWare SFT, and NetWare 386.
OCTuS PrintConductor will be available March 1 through authorized resellers
or directly from OCTuS for $3,995. For more information call
619/452-9400.

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 18, 1992 - OCTuS, Inc., the first shared network appliance
company, today announced a fax server that allows PC users on a Novell
network to directly send or receive facsimiles from any Windows
application. The economical OCTuS FaxConductor 750 also automates
archiving and removes the burdens of memory storage from the server.
The OCTuS FaxConductor 750 allows any desktop user three transmission
options when they invoke the standard print command: fax, e-mail, or
print. Because the product adheres to the Message Handling System (MHS)
standard, users can easily send selected data via either fax or e-mail. A
phone book feature allows users to easily assign an address.
Incoming faxes are automatically routed to the appropriate network user and
an E-mail message alerts recipients of pending faxes. On-screen document
viewing is made easier with a convenient zoom feature that magnifies any
portion of a faxed document.
A key feature is automatic archiving which relieves the file server of the
burden of memory-intensive files, by storing them on a 120 Mbyte backup
tape. OCTuS FaxConductor 750 tracks and logs all faxing activity, giving
the network manager an accurate means of accounting for and controlling
costs.
Because OCTuS FaxConductor 750 is a shared resource, the cost per node is
much lower than add-in boards. The server supports between 25 and 100
nodes. Installation has been simplified, saving time for the network
administrator.
Other features include cost-saving delayed sending, automatic re-dial, and
built-in security. The security feature allows the network manager to
limit viewing to the cover page.
OCTuS FaxConductor 750 has a 386 SX 25 Mhz system with 2 Mbytes of RAM. It
operates at 2400 baud and is CCITT Group 3 compatible. OCTuS FaxConductor
750 incorporates a modified version of FacSys from Optus Software, Inc and
works with NetWare ELS ll, Advanced NetWare SFT, and NetWare 386. The fax
server has two RJ-11 C phone jacks which each support two lines. All four
lines can be used for either fax or modem.
OCTuS FaxConductor 750 will be available in April through authorized
resellers or directly from OCTuS for $5,995. For more information call
619/452-9400.
OCTuS, formerly Office Automation Systems (OAS), is the first shared
network appliance company. Other available products include,
PageConductor, PrintConductor, and network-ready laser printers. Privately
held, the company is chaired by interface pioneer Nolan Bushnell and was
founded in 1983. It has more than 70 employees.
