HostServe

HostServe is a Windows based document-delivery and interconnectivity system capable of transforming mainframe, network, and Web data streams (SNA Character String, LCDS DJDE/Metacode, XES, AFP, IPDS, Xerox VIPP, Line Printer, PCL, PostScript, PDF, TIFF, JPEG, DOC, RTF, HTML, EMF) into an array of output formats (PCL, PostScript, PDF, TIFF, JPEG, BMP, HTML, XML, ASCII or Database), with associated indexes.
HostServe is universally beneficial for all mainframe, network environments because it combines document creation, integrated connectivity, printer emulations, print-queue management, intelligent print drivers, and PDF-indexing tools. Customers, suppliers, and employees can view, print, and archive documents — anywhere, any time, regardless of origination, using a wide variety of printers, and using a wide variety of viewing, archival, content-management or document-management systems.  
RELATED PRODUCTS:
 • IPDSXpress
 • Pro Suite
 • XpdfPrint SDK
 • XpdfPS SDK
HostServe delivers information via any printer, viewer, e-Mail, fax, or NexGen Enterprise Business Solution. It offers the capability to convert many languages into standard and more modern languages. With HostServe's document-conversion capabilities your documents can be printed with more modern printers, distributed as eDocuments, converted to HTML for placement on the Web, indexed, and moved directly into content-management systems.

HostServe operating environment

HostServe operates on a Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003 or above server and can be attached by TCP/IP or an SNA network, FTP, E-mail, Web Server, via Channel, Twinax, Serial or Coax depending on your application. HostServe presents a printer, document or database interface to the application program. It accepts the incoming document, processes the data (adding resources where applicable, reformatting and sorting documents as it goes, and/or converting data formats), and directs the information to the designated output device or system.

HostServe connects data sources to data sinks

HostServe supports SNA, RJE/NJE, Serial, Disk Transfer or TCP/IP connection to your mainframe, AS/400, UNIX host, or network. The physical connection can be BUS/TAG input or output, ESCON, Ethernet, SCSI or IDE, Twinax, Token Ring, FTP Client or Serial. The type of connection used depends entirely on your needs. HostServe's integrated communication solutions allow tremendous flexibility, even supporting multiple communication protocols in a single installation. This allows drop-in solution to your document-translation and document-reformatting needs.

Anything in and anything out!

HostServe accepts a wide variety of page-description languages (PDLs) as input data. It translates, cleans, separates, combines, enhances appearance, indexes (when appropriate) data, and delivers the information.

 • Pro Suite

IPDS runs as a Windows Service — no need to launch an application manually.

Features include Web-based administration GUI, full compatibility for IBM InfoPrint® printers, support for resident and downloaded scalable fonts, native support for finishing options, support for one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) bar codes, print to PDF, more.

RoutXpress


RoutXpress is a rule-based print-job-routing software product that allows a network administrator to better manage a printing network. When a user sends any type of document to print, RoutXpress will route the print job to the printer in the network that is best suited for that particular print job.
Built-in modules can send e-mail notification upon certain conditions (printer down, out of paper, out of toner, etc.).

Users will know where all print jobs are going and will also know related costs.

RoutXpress generates several reports that will aid your network administrator in managing your printing network effectively and keeping costs to a minimum.

Pricing begins at $475.00 USD and depends upon the number of printers on your network.
