BARR/FTP connects to and transfers files between your host and the Barr Enterprise Print Server using File Transfer Protocol (FTP). The BARR/FTP module includes these components.
Port monitor:Barr FTP port
Device driver:Barr Jobs to Mainframe printer driver
Service:BARR FTP
Program:FTP Manager
BARR/NJE emulates a Network Job Entry (NJE) node and provides a powerful way to exchange documents with a network of mainframes in a peer-to-peer networked A network of two or more computers that use the same program or type of program to communicate and share data. environment. The BARR/NJE module includes these components.
Port monitor:Barr NJE port
Device driver:Barr Jobs to Mainframe printer driver
Service:BARR NJE
Programs:NJE Configuration utility, NJE Console, and BARR/CHANNEL-IN
Documents: Uploadable program for configuring JES2 host for auto-start
By using BARR/PRINT390 you can connect up to eight channel-attached production printers to a Windows-based personal computer. The BARR/PRINT390 module includes these components.
Port monitor:Barr PRINT390 port
Printer driver:Barr PRINT390 printer driver
Programs:BARR/CHANNEL-OUT and S/390 Resource Conversion utility
Resources: Reference files (\\Program Files\Barr\Spooler\Print390Ref)
Hardware: BARR/CHANNEL-OUT adapter
You can use BARR/PRINT SPLITTER to split text jobs, AFP jobs, and jobs containing Xerox Metacode or LCDS data. When the job is split, the print stream is split into 2 or more parts, up to 7. Job splitting allows multiple printers to print critical jobs quickly, always splitting on page or sheet boundaries.
By using BARR/PRINT TCP/IP you can receive data from any TCP/IP-based host (for example, mainframes, UNIX An operating system for workstations developed by AT&T Bell Laboratories that features multiprogramming in a multiuser environment. machines, and AS/400s) with LPD/LPR. The BARR/PRINT TCP/IP module includes these components.
Port monitor:Barr IP port
Services:BARR LPD and BARR Socket
BARR/PRINT to EPS enables the Barr IP port to send LCDS Acronym for Line Condition Data Stream. or Metacode A Xerox-generated data stream that provides all-points addressability on Xerox centralized printers. files to Xerox DocuPrint Enterprise Printing Systems (EPS) and DocuTech 2000 Series Production Publishers using TCP/IP.
BARR/RJE emulates a 3770 and supports SNA connections to mainframe job entry systems. BARR/RJE enables you to perform SNA file transfer, remote job entry, and remote printing from a computer. The BARR/RJE module includes these components.
Port monitor:Barr RJE port
Device driver:Barr Jobs to Mainframe printer driver
Service:BARR RJE
Programs:RJE Configuration Utility, RJE Console, RJE Diagnostics, and RJE Connection Manager
BARR/TOOLS allows you to view and reprint your PCL and Xerox Line Data (DJDE) and Metacode files. In addition, it provides accurate page count data so you can use the Barr Enterprise Print Server Accounting features.
BARR/TRANSFORM processes and transforms AFP, PCL, and Xerox Line Data (DJDE) and Metacode files. Depending on your requirements and configuration, BARR/TRANSFORM converts each of these files from their original format into ASCII text, PCL, PostScript, PDF, TIFF or XML for printing, archiving, or viewing.
BARR/Web Interface allows you to access the Barr Enterprise Print Server, enabling you to monitor printers in your print center from the comfort of your office. In addition, you can view text in the print files, pause, cancel and redirect print jobs to different printers, and re-prioritize jobs in the queue based on routing criteria. Contact a Barr sales representative to learn more about the new BARR/Web Interface.
The Web Interface is completely customizable, allowing you to view only the specific column headers and printers that you require. You also have the added security feature of maintaining control over which printers a particular user is able to view from their workstation. In addition, the Web Interface is virtually identical in look and feel to the existing Spool Window, so current users will need minimal training.
