CPPD/Print
 

CPPD/Print is the complete System i printing strategy.

CPPD/Print has been designed for System i installations using any software application that produces standard printouts, which need to be customised and printed without changing the original print program. Documents such as Purchase Orders, Invoices and Statements etc., are often required to reflect the company image by including a company logo. In addition some of the details on the standard print file may not be required and extra data may need to be added. Such modifications require the original print program to be changed; this can be expensive and time consuming, at a time when resources may be limited. Output from existing ERP applications may have to be modified each time a new release is installed, CPPD/Print can make these modifications unnecessary, resulting in significant cost savings.

 
Benefits
  • Plain paper laser forms for reduced cost and greater flexibility
  • Native System i product, prints directly from the System i
  • Access to database, enabling data to be added to existing output
  • Printing strategy future proof, using IBM printing technology
  • Efficient use of printer resources maximizes printing speed, minimises impact on System i
  • Fully integrated with all CPPD modules
  • Colour printing support on the System i
 
Features
  • System i spooled files are automatically selected from any System i print output queue. The CPPD/Designer provides a familiar MS Windows front end which allows you to specify text to be rearranged, data to be tested for specified conditions, variable item lines to be processed correctly, images and form overlays to be included, extra text added to the document, output specified, plus many other functions. This set of instructions is stored on the System i and used to process the selected spooled file.
  • CPPD/Print has the ability to generate output to standard line printers as well as network laser and thermal printers, print formats supported include PCL, SCS, AFP, IPDS, PDF and various thermal print data streams.. A single print file can be directed to any number of different outputs depending on the data in the print file. The type of output device is set-up in CPPD/Print and can be easily changed.
  • Additional data can be added from the System i database and features such as barcode labels, integration with automated mailing machines and selected fonts can be included in the output
  • Central to CPPD/Print is the System i print queue, therefore printed output generated on the System i can be directed to any System i printer. Remote printers can be used and print files produced in different countries using the local character set.
  • CPPD/Print brings a new approach to System i print design and distribution enabling legacy systems to be bought up to date without the need for expensive reprogramming.
