The XCHANGE printer emulation modules of the Solimar® Print Director™ Enterprise (SPDE) convert mainframe and Xerox LCDS/Metacode applications for distribution to printers that support PostScript, PCL, IPDS, and viewing stations that support PDF. The emulation can be used in conjunction with the PostScript::TIFF module for outputting TIFF files to archiving systems.

XCHANGE emulates Xerox LPS Metacode printers in online and offline modes. Data streams and resources are converted in real-time into the new print language for the output device.
The data conversions can reach 20,000+ pages per minute on a Pentium 800.
