June 4, 2003—Oc’s upgraded Version 1.3.3 software for the Oc TDS800 Power Logic enhances the Oc Matrix Logic technology, which makes it possible to execute multiple print jobs with different output settings from one set of scanned documents. This technology eliminates the need to rescan the document set for each print job configuration. In addition, first printout time has been substantially improved with the new “Print While Spool” capability.
The software upgrade continues to maximize the productivity of the Oc TDS800 print engine by effectively managing multiple reprographic workflow processes concurrently—such as printing different output configurations from a single document set, scanning to file or the Web, scanning for future printing, receiving new print jobs, or adding toner, etc.—all at the same time and without having to pause for completion of a different task. The end benefit to these new “multi-tasking” enhancements is greater productivity and the ability to utilize the full potential of the Oc TDS800, allowing reprographers to future-proof the value of their investment.
Version 1.3.3 now allows for matrix job submission in the background. The operator can prepare the next matrix job while the previous job is printing in the background. In addition, the “Print While Spool” feature now allows the Oc Power Logic controller to start printing a job as soon as the first file of that job has been received from the Oc Repro Desk Server.
An additional new feature of Version 1.3.3 upgrade for the Oc TDS800 Power Logic controller is easier identification of individual scans. The enhanced Scan Manager portion of Oc Scan Logic software allows for the assignment of a specific filename to each individual scan right at the controller versus later at the desktop.
Another key software enhancement improves the ability to track costs per job by automatically prompting users to input a job or user number prior to printing. The new feature, Account Locking for Oc Print Exec LT 1.3 for Windows and the Web, makes it mandatory to enter a job or user ID when creating an Oc Print Exec LT job ticket. By working in conjunction with Oc Account Logging, users are able to keep more accurate records of their print costs per account.
The new software, which will be included on all new Oc TDS800 shipments, is also included as an upgrade to existing Oc TDS800 customers with Oc-USA full service maintenance agreements. It is available immediately and can be installed by Oc service technicians when they visit an Oc TDS800 system site. For more information visit Oc or Oc USA.
