A Unique Multiport Print Data Stream Appliance
The Fontware DataSTORM is a unique turnkey multiport print data stream manipulation gateway that acts like a print server and network bridge.
It is possible to modify and add logical functions including search and replace, triggers, variables and reprint, to produce user defined output on a per queue/printer basis. Forms, macros and fonts can be stored within the device and manipulated on individual page. The output can be distributed as a whole or in part to any printer on the network or connected via local USB ports. An easy web interface is included to aid in command generation. For more complex functions the user has access to the full command set via an editable configuration file.
DataSTORM includes a powerful PCL5 engine with printer emulation support for Kyocera PreScribe, Epson FS100 and IBM Proprinter, which will allow the user to print on PCL printer/MFD’s.
Specialist application support for SAP Unicode printing, including Cyrillic, Greek, Chinese, Japanese, Korean etc.
Seamless integration with leading ERP applications including SAP R/3, Peoplesoft, BAAN, JD Edwards and Oracle.
The Fontware DataSTORM connects to a 10baseT/100baseTX network and can support up to 4 printers connected to it’s on board USB ports and depending how the unit is licensed up to 50 network attached printers can be served with print data parsing, font and form management, job control & string control.
The DataSTORM platform also allows for project based customisation.
