Page Identification & Page Manipulation

Automatically perform a range of post printing operator tasks, insert data and "print" commands, and validate the data for almost any type of output.

Within many print-rooms such as yours, the process of manually identifying and removing pages, splitting, decollating and collating jobs can be time-consuming, frustrating and repetitive for you or your staff. Furthermore, inserting additional data or print commands within a job or deciding upon the best output destination at source may not be possible or appropriate.

To resolve this, FunAsset can provide you with a software solution called PageBuilder that can be seamlessly integrated within your existing system to provide you with on-the-fly page identification and page manipulation for "print" data.

How PageBuilder Works

PageBuilder is a FunAsset Output Pre-processing module that is combined within a TN Interface Task application suitable for the connectivity and data processing requirements of the system where PageBuilder will be installed. The Task can be installed on a FunAsset TN Interface PC Chassis or on a standard PC with suitable connectivity and integrated anywhere between your data source and destination.

between the data source and destination

“Print” data passes through the Task and is analysed by the PageBuilder module for specific user defined strings. When a string or a sequence of strings on a page is satisfied, one or more of the following actions is performed:

• Split the data into separate jobs, before or after the identified page.
• Index the identified page.
• Delete the identified page.
• Copy any data from the identified page.
• Insert additional data and print commands anywhere within the identified page.
• Analyse data previously parsed on the identified page.
• Automatically hold and release the job within SpoolQ.

PageBuilder continues to search for strings within the “print” data and perform any of the actions above until all the data has been analysed.

Examples of Use

PageBuilder can be used for any one of the following procedures:

• Automatically perform post-printing operator tasks such as page removal, job splitting, decollating and collating.
• Validate the data to ascertain whether or where it should be output.
• Automatically split and/or route specific types of job to specific destinations or queues within SpoolQ, i.e. invoices to one printer, statements to another.
• Insert DJDE or other printer control commands on a page by page basis.
• Extract data within a job for the purposes of accounting, management and routing.

Cost

The cost of the PageBuilder module is £1250.00 + VAT.

PageBuilder is provided free of charge with SpoolQ.

NOTE: PageBuilder must be combined within a FunAsset Task application. The cost and type of Task is dependant upon the connectivity requirements of where PageBuilder will be used.
