Product Overview
The architecture of Barr Enterprise Print Server is centered around several key components: the Print Server, the Output Manager, and platform-specific connectors. The Print Server acts as the central hub, managing print job routing, queuing, and distribution. It receives print jobs from various sources, including mainframe systems via protocols like RJE, NJE, and TCP/IP, as well as Windows, System i, and UNIX environments.
The Output Manager is responsible for managing output files, including storage, conversion, and delivery. It supports various output formats and can convert print data streams to ensure compatibility across different printers and platforms. Communication between these components is facilitated through internal processes, though the specifics are not detailed in the provided context.
The system utilizes a Windows-based GUI for administration, allowing administrators to configure settings, monitor print jobs, and manage users. The connectors are designed to interface with specific platforms, enabling the capture and conversion of print data. The system's design emphasizes centralized control and streamlined output management across heterogeneous IT environments.
The product's ability to convert print jobs ensures compatibility across different platforms.
