Real World Samples

To help you better understand how RPM Remote Print Manager® can work in a variety of printing environments, we have prepared the following samples. In them we show several ways RPM can interpret distinct data types with very little configuration done by the user.

RPM Text Printing Sample

This sample shows RPM text printing with the following settings:

• Default queue type, Text
• Default font, Courier New
• Default margins, 0.5 inches
• No data transformations selected
• Use lines per inch, set to 6.6

Bold and Overstrike Sample

In this sample we see that RPM text printing handles bold and overstrike by default.

Hint for mainframe users:

• If your file is ASA format, go to "Print Data Options" and select ‘ASA Carriage Control / Fortran’
• Otherwise go to "Text Setup" and select ‘Use CR to overwrite line’

SCS to ASCII Printing Samples

The following samples are both from customers. In the first sample, confidential information has been changed though the form is real and illustrates RPM's ability to change the font and style as directed. The second sample is a plain text screen dump from an AS/400.

In both cases the RPM settings used were as follows:

• Default queue type, Text
• Default font, Courier New
• Default margins, 0.5 inches
• In "Print Data Options" the setting ‘Convert SCS to ASCII’ is selected
