When a central server is operated as print spooler, print jobs will be sent across the whole network to the server and from there to the respective printer. Frequent and / or large print jobs put a strain on the network infrastructure.

ISD300 as decentralized Printing-Spooler

ISD 300 is the ideal network solution for decentralized networks with several nodes (work groups, departments, subsidiaries, branch offices etc.). Print jobs remain in the local network segment, where they are buffered on the ISD300. The strategic operation of the appliance as local print or workgroup spooler in distributed networks (WAN) limits data traffic locally. The result is a significantly lower network load and less connection costs.

BENEFITS

• Reduction of data traffic in a network
• Limiting data traffic in a network to local segments
• Reduction of network load
• Reduction of connection costs in extensive WAN structures

FIELDS OF APPLICATION

• Decentrally organized network structures
  • Businesses with branch offices, outlets, subsidiaries etc.
• Workgroups
  • Networks with highly complex, overworked server architectures

ISD300 supports the Point-and-Print functionality by Microsoft for central printer driver management. Simply store all required printer drivers to the appliance. From there they will be uploaded to each workstation which requires them. You no longer have to install printer drivers manually on the workstations. Instead, you can manage printer driver settings (e.g. duplex, paper trays) centrally and distribute drivers via the ISD300.

Your field staff does not need to install any printer drivers when visiting a branch office – they can simply start to print!

SEH has developed some useful tools to make it all even easier for you!

The SEH ISD Printer Driver Wizard simplifies storing all required printer drivers to ISD300. It collects all required files for installing and managing a certain printer driver. This packet can simply be uploaded to an ISD300, making the process much easier than the manual installation required in a Windows environment.

If you operate several ISD appliances in a network the new SEH ISD Manager is a very useful tool. You can use it to build a database with all printer drivers used in the network. From there you can upload every printer driver unto any ISD300 in the network. (Read more on page 3!)

If you utilize the print management solution ThinPrint .print for bandwidth optimization and control the ISD300 can function as a ThinPrint Gateway for up to 50 network printers per ISD300. The integrated ThinPrint .print Client allows the ISD300 to function as an upstream .print client which receives ThinPrint compressed and bandwidth-optimized print data from the .print server and decompresses this data in the local network. The decompressed data is then sent in its original form to the available print servers in the LAN. As ThinPrint Gateway the ISD300 also supports valuable ThinPrint features such as AutoConnect and is compatible with the ThinPrint Output Gateway.

To protect your print data the ISD300 supports ThinPrint SSL encryption of print data and can decrypt ThinPrint SSL-encrypted print jobs to pass them on to the respective network printers.

ThinPrint®

Copy Queue and Offloading Print Jobs (Repository)

The generation of print data for posters and bills with RIP software is complex and time-consuming. Print jobs which you have generated in this manner can be buffered on the ISD300 and printed again when needed without having to render the print data anew. You can store all print documents on the ISD300 which you have to print repeatedly (e.g. price lists, product flyers) and copy these as often as you like without having to refer to any other application.

Platform for Filter Applications

ISD300 easily adapts to individual environments and demands. You can use the appliance as a basis for special printing software solutions or for your own development, e. g. for filter applications developed by customers. These filters can transform or expand print data, e. g. as in barcode printing (SAP etc.): For example, the software solution TBarCode/Embedded by TEC-IT in combination with the ISD300 turns PS (Postscript) and PCL printers into barcode printers quickly and easily.
