Assured printing allows you to find and fix problems in your printer network with ease. Learn how print confirmation solutions from Plus Technologies can benefit your business with this presentation.
2. A System Without Print Confirmation
Typical print spooling software “fires and forgets.”
When native O/S print spoolers receive jobs from enterprise
applications, they spool it to the printer then immediately deletes the
job.
No further connection with the printer. The spooler is not aware of job status, has
no understanding of print success or failure, no ability to recover, reprint and
certainly no value-add print features.

3. Assured Printing with OM Plus
OM Plus output management software will receive jobs from the enterprise
application and open a connection with the printer.
This connection is maintained throughout the entire print process to give you
the print confirmation features you need.

4. How it Works
OM Plus will be able to communicate with PJL compliant printers and even
label printers (via proprietary interfaces) to determine the status of a print
job on a page-by-page basis.
After the job is complete OM Plus can be set up to hold the job for a
customer definable amount of time enabling reprint when needed.

5. Print Confirmation Benefits
If the print job should fail, OM Plus
can be set up to respond with a
number of functions such as:
user notification
help desk notification
automated job re-routing to a fail-
over device.
This allows jobs to be re-printed
from the beginning, or from the
page that failed.

6. Find and Fix Problems
With this system, OM Plus provides end-to-end print confirmation.
End-to-end confirmation (AKA, assured print) allows system administrators
to locate problem areas quickly when delivery interruptions and failures
occur.

7. Compatibility
OM Plus is fully SNMP compliant and can capture data provided by SNMP
devices.
This allows users to see more detailed information on device status (e.g. the printer
is low on toner).
OM Plus can even talk directly to web enabled devices to gather detailed
status information.
Always know the status of your printing network!
