Validoc, THE software for graphical and PDF printouts on iSeries systems. Word Count: 1990 Summary: Validoc enables advanced management and enhancement of IBM iSeries printing spools Keywords: iseries, as400, stampa, laser, pdf, spool, gestione, documenti, documentale, formato, conversione Article Body: Validoc is a software for iSeries (AS/400) systems able to apply several graphical enhancements to the standard output by adding graphics, fonts and making a remapping of the print output. Validoc allows you to convert graphical print output into a PC format, such as PDF, TIFF, TXT and many more. It is possible to automatically manage the storage of the resulting files on a LAN and schedule their transmission through fax and e-mail. It can be seamlessly integrated with your existing software without any modification, no matter if it is a simple accounting package or a full featured E.R.P., reducing thus set-up costs and streamlining your workflow. Validoc has been entirely developed (and is fully supported) by “RECORD Informatica” and has an Italian user interface. The software is actually split into two integrated sub-systems. The main one, which handles the printing spools, is installed on the iSeries machine; while the document transformation engine and the fax and mail engines work on any common PC. System requirements Validoc ensures full compliance with standard pc formats. The mailing functions work with any standard SMTP mail server. Fax functions require a standard asynchronous modem supporting fax functions. As regards the PC side, it works on any Microsoft Windows version, while the document transformation engine, the fax and e-mail functions operate on Windows NT, Windows 2000 and XP. The iSeries components can be installed on the software release V4R2M0 or later. The print output can be handled by any laser printer supporting the PCL5 language, which is a de-facto standard for any printer built in recent years. Lighweight The iSeries components stay silent and idle while waiting for documents to be processed. This avoids the common problem of CPU overhead caused by pooling on the printing queues, as most competitors’ software do. Easy The user interface is designed to be both simple and effective so that a novice user can become proficient quickly and unleash the full power of the system without specific training. Scalable Validoc follows the growth of your company, with a license system modelled upon the IBM iSeries pricing system. Therefore each company will take advantage from the software at a price proportional to its size. Modular We always configure Validoc considering actual customer needs, evaluated individually. At any time it is possible to add further modules to the installed configuration. The modules can enable functions such as spool processing, graphical enhancements, font formatting, file format conversion (to standard PC formats such as PDF or TIFF), automatic categorisation and filing of documents on the customer’s lan, mailing and faxing and data processing on Excel documents.. Safe Data and images are processed on the iSeries, whose reliability is well known. It is possible to setup an authorisation system to grant or deny to specific users the right to open the produced documents. The documents saved on LAN folders before mailing or faxing are always zipped and password protected to avoid unauthorised opening of the files.
