Paper - when it piles up, it's a beast. A drain on time and energy. A
drag on productivity. And costly to handle, mail and manage. Paper is a
tiger that must be tamed - before it bites.
Page Handler Tames the Paper Tiger Long ago, when paper was created with line printers, COM subdued the paper tiger. COM systems dramatically reduce paper flow and archival storage requirements by interpreting line-print data streams and storing information on film the most efficient, cost-effective way. But just when you'd found the means to tame the paper tiger, along came page printing. Page print formats, like Xerox and IBM's Advanced Function Printing (AFP), have changed the face of the printing environment. While these newer data streams have vastly expanded printing options for composition, electronic forms, flexible fonts, and more, they also require a higher level of investment and commitment. What's more, these full-featured data streams have become more restrictive, making output on COM technologically infeasible. And because no existing document management vehicles can interpret page-print data streams, communications, information distribution and archiving have been driven back onto expensive paper. We've lost a vital piece of the process. Why must we take a step backward in information management to take advantage of these enhanced printer capabilities? From now on, it's full speed ahead. MTC delivers the missing piece you need to tame the paper tiger. MTC's Page Handler gives you the flexibility of yesterday's line printing coupled with the full benefits of today's page-print environment. Without restrictions or incompatibilities. A Robust Page Print Interpreter Page Handler is a high-speed electronic page-print interpreter. It accepts print data, instructions and printer resources generated for Xerox and IBM printing systems. It then assembles these inputs into logical pages and converts them into COM readable files. This conversion allows cost-effective distribution and archiving of printed pages on microfiche without changes to the application or its resources. Page Handler fully processes page print files in real-time including:

Retains the Look and Feel of Your Documents Page Handler accepts intelligence from incoming data and resources. This means output on COM mirrors the look and feel of the printed page. Page Handler retains print file attributes including:
And with automatic bi-directional scaling of 240, 300, 480 or 600 dpi resources, Page Handler preserves the document's shape characteristics, dimensional accuracy and baseline integrity. So you won't sacrifice anything in document quality. Adds Intelligent Enhancements to Print Data Streams Page Handler also provides intelligent enhancements to the print file for output on COM including:
Expanding the Functionality of COM MTC's Page Handler expands the functionality of your COM production stations to include page print datastreams. As an add-on solution to your MTC production environment, Page Handler allows you to:
With MTC's Page Handler, all the pieces are in place to keep the paper tiger at bay while creating an advanced, high-performance work environment. |
