In addition to physically communicating with host systems and printers, the Solimar® Print Director™ Enterprise's (SPDE) printer emulations are second to none! Not a simulator, not a translator, or a crude system scripting tool, SPDE's conversions truly emulate the Print Description Languages (PDLs) listed below.
Data streams and resources are automatically converted into new printer languages for the target printers or other output destinations. The emulation modules do not require any changes to be made to the application generating the print data. With SPDE, the way printing is accomplished today can be the same tomorrow, but on new or different output devices.
