Highlights
Lexmark offers a fast, trouble-free plug and print solution that provides professional quality bar codes for SAP R/3 customers. Tracking goods using a bar code is an essential part of many businesses. The challenge with generating bar codes is that they typically require special programming and application development. The Optra Bar Code SIMM enables Lexmark printers to produce high-quality bar codes easily, without the need for expensive programming resources. It supports more than 47 industry standard one-and two-dimensional bar codes including 2-D UPS MaxiCode and PDF 417. Programmers simply choose bar code characteristics such as format, dimension and check sum. The Lexmark Visual Bar Code Designer utility then produces the visual PCL or PostScript commands embedded in virtually any application. Generating bar codes in the printer not only produces a better quality, more readable bar code than sending bitmapped images from the application, it also reduces the size of files containing the bar codes. The Optra Bar Code SIMM can be combined with other Lexmark applications such as Optra Forms to substantially improve general workflow -- and the appearance of printed documents. |

Professional Quality Bar Codes for a Variety of Industries Bar code printing is on the rise in virtually every business segment today. As a result, Lexmark now offers the Optra Bar Code SIMM. When coupled with a Lexmark Optra printer, the Bar Code SIMM provides SAP R/3 customers with an intelligent, trouble-free solution that requires no additional fonts or software be installed on the server. By offloading bar code generation to the printer, users benefit by reducing server processing time, lowering network traffic, and decreasing the chance for errors.

OverviewAFP/IPDS printing Print either host-based or client-based output on your network-attached Lexmark laser printer. With a Lexmark Card for IPDS option, use your MFP or printer for both network printing and for IBM iSeries (AS/400) or IBM zSeries computer jobs.Print bar codes, forms, publications and graphics closer to your end users giving you the associated cost and time savings from true distributed printing. So now direct your AFP/IPDS output using the TCP/IP protocol. Color printing to shades of gray Supports Function Set 45 (FS 45) for full color printing. Color Management Object Content Architecture (CMOCA) resource support for color printing. color documents are transformed into black and shades of gray based on the Color Mode setting. Maximise productivity Locate your printer wherever you need it to maximise its productivity. With Lexmark's SmartSwitch auto-emulation sensing built into every Lexmark laser printer, your printer will automatically switch to the proper document language, whether it is IPDS, PostScript or PCL™. Configure IPDS configuration settings using the MarkNet™ print server's resident web server, a browser and the printer's IP address. Notable Features Host Resource Resolution is sensed (Auto) to enable support for 240, 300 and 600 dpi. Supports 2-dimensional bar codes such as PDF 417, DataMatrix, Maxicode and Quick Response(QR). Supports 1-dimensional bar codes such as Code 128, US Postal bar codes including PLANET and Intelligent Mail Container, Royal Mail bar codes including Red Tag, and other retail and postal bar codes. Font Capture to Reduce Network Traffic Using Print Services Facility (PSF), capture fonts (including Chinese, Korean and Japanese), either TrueType, bitmaps or outlines, to hard disk or to flash memory resulting in reduced network traffic. Consideration Only one of these cards may be used at any time: Forms and Bar Code, Card for IPDS, Card for PRESCRIBE or Lexmark PrintCryption Card. These cards are installed in the same single connector. |
