Job Events Module
Job Events is a powerful add-on module to the Solimar AFP transform suite that provides enhanced AFP job separation and file naming capabilities. This module provides the ability to detect specific information in AFP print data, act upon it in pre-defined ways, and pass it on to be delivered as instructed. Job Events functionality can be used for a variety of applications. AFP reports can be automatically sub-divided so that some documents are routed to printers, while others are archived. Information can be extracted and used to name files destined for archive systems or to control reprints. Job Events also provides a variety of choices for the type of information extracted. Information such as page counts, user IDs, and duplex page commands can be extracted and used to remove certain pages from the data altogether.
Job Events Common Uses
- Extracting information to name files for operator tracking and facilitating the retrieval of archived documents
- Extracting information to enable automated routing features
- Inserting or replacing electronic overlays
- Adding bookmarks
- Providing operators with job information to control distribution, reprints, and printer requirements
- Parsing large legacy applications into smaller segments for load balancing between multiple printers
- Printers that require the entire file to be received before the job can start printing can now start printing each parsed section of the job before the entire print job is received
- Large jobs can be sent to print on production printers and small jobs to mid-range printers
