A Simple Step from 'Printer-Ready' to 'Screen-Ready'
Pcl2Pdf software makes the transition from ‘printer-ready’ output to ‘screen-ready’ output simple for large, medium and small enterprise environments.
Many users know how to save an individual document into PDF for sending via email. However, many applications in use at large corporations and government facilities have business-critical print processes that are geared towards printed output only. The idea of converting these documents manually to PDF is not efficient; Pcl2Pdf is a product that can ‘intercept’ print-destined output, convert it to PDF, and with AXIAR Green’s output management capabilities, can automatically send the PDFs to computer/SmartPhone destinations.
The latest version of Pcl2Pdf includes many enhancements to better handle standard application output and more efficiently convert data from ‘printer-ready’ to ‘screen-ready’ presentation. Recipients of the PDFs can still print if they wish, of course.
For more information about Pcl2Pdf, please click here, contact us directly through info@LBMsys.com or call 800-898-6434 – we have thousands of sites using Pcl2Pdf who save millions of pages of paper each year.
PCL2PDF version 6.9.6 improvements include:
*Implemented new “-TEMP” switch for user specified temporary file directory
*Implemented new “-PC” switch for print copies, “-PS” and “-PE” for print range start and end and “-PM” for print preferences
*Implemented “IBM DOS” style line and box drawing character support
*Implemented 24-bit RGB PCL colour support, in conjunction with AXIAR Imaging, with opacity and transparency and within macros
*Implemented new “-IFF” switch to supress blank page generation on form feed when no data on page
*Implemented Euro character in HP 9N and 13U symbol sets
*Implemented right and centre justified text printing using HP-GL/2 'LO' command
*Implemented “white text” printing
*Implemented PCL raster graphics “mode 5” adaptive compression
*Implemented various “bug” fixes and PCL code enhancements
*Improved PCL duplex paper handling support
*Improved PCL “offset registration” support, including for 90 degree rotated portrait pages
*Improved HP-GL/2 support
*Developed using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010

Self-Healing Print Networks
When print jobs fail, users typically resend the jobs multiple times and contact IT/help desk personnel for immediate assistance. This not only wastes paper and toner, but also distracts IT personnel from other tasks.
AXIAR software can be configured to form a ‘self-healing’ printer environment that:
1) ensures automatic delivery of print jobs even if the first choice of printer is unavailable
2) automatically alerts IT personnel about the error status. This eliminates the risk of redundant print requests that waste paper/toner and reduces time spent by IT personnel addressing print-related problems.
In addition to AXIAR’s paper saving software capabilities, AXIAR software has print queue management capabilities that ensure delivery of output by managing the flow of print requests. Print requests are analyzed and processed by AXIAR and routed based on delivery rules set up by IT personnel. AXIAR also monitors the status and availability of printers, allowing AXIAR to automatically deliver print jobs to the next available, most convenient and least used printer (if the initially intended printer is unavailable). The print job is delivered successfully regardless of the status of the initially intended printer and the users do not experience a delay accessing their jobs. The user who sent the job receives an email or online message communicating the delivery of the print job.
AXIAR also includes remote diagnostic tools for IT personnel to manage print queues and printer health from a help-desk environment. AXIAR monitors printer status and communicates error states for IT personnel to remotely address. Printers can be enabled/disabled remotely across operating systems and networks, allowing IT personnel to maximize printer uptime and ensure the proper amount of printer resources are available based on user demand. Print jobs can be re-queued, tracked and re-routed dynamically from a centralized location, even across disparate operating systems (unlike many other print queue management software products, AXIAR runs natively on UNIX, Linux, Windows and AS/400 operating systems).
Using AXIAR’s ensured print job delivery, print queue management and printstream management tools allows IT and service personnel to troubleshoot and repair devices without the stress of users waiting for their print jobs. AXIAR’s self-healing printer network software ensures print job delivery.

School District Paper Stats
Interesting story about a High School in Washington state going 'paperless' for a week; although they reduced paper use by 60%, they still consumed 20,000 sheets of paper. Look at the numbers below and then think about how many school districts there are in the US alone.
AXIAR Green, Paper Saving Software, reduces costs without sacrificing services.
"By the numbers
--> 22.8 million - Sheets of white, 8.5×11 photocopy paper used by the Issaquah School District in the 2009-10 school year
--> 2.25 million - Sheets of paper used per month in the Issaquah School District
--> 833 - Height, in feet, of 2.25 million sheets of paper
--> 270 - Number of trees needed to make 2.25 million sheets of paper, assuming no recycled material.
--> $134,475 - Spent on paper in the 2009-10 school year (including sales tax)
--> $13,027.50 - Spent on paper per month in the Issaquah School District
--> $1,120 - Spent on paper at Skyline per month
--> 175,000-225,000 - Sheets of paper used at Skyline per month
--> 50,000 - Sheets of paper, on average, used at Skyline in a week
--> 16.5 - Height, in feet, of 50,000 sheets of paper.
--> 20,000 - Estimated number of sheets of paper used during paperless week.
