Information on RPM 9X

RPM is the only complete solution supporting LPD and stream protocols that enable users to receive and customize print jobs from any AS/400, mainframe, UNIX or Windows-based system to any Windows printer - locally or remotely. While many print servers only allow a straight pass-through of data from the host system, RPM provides extensive formatting capabilities in text printing, and the ability to work with third party software.

[RPM Elite (for Win NT/2000/XP)]  [RPM Select (for Win NT/2000/XP)]

Designed for Windows 95, 98 and Millennium Edition

Originally designed for Windows 95, RPM 9x has been enhanced and updated to support the latest versions of Windows home platforms, including Windows 98 and Windows Millennium Edition. Windows XP Home Edition is not supported by RPM 9x since it is a Windows NT-based platform.

Supports 24 printers - Access up to 249

Once licensed, RPM 9x supports printing to 24 printers; however, if required, this limit can be increased up to 249. RPM does not limit the number of print queues; the limit refers only to the number of Windows printers.

Brooks License Manager

A redesigned license manager has been implemented to enhance ease of use. A license wizard guides users through a simple, step-by-step process to unlock the software and any installed modules, such as an increased number of printers. License manager allows unassisted reinstallation by generating the same serial number each time it is installed. Web-unlock can now connect through a proxy server/firewall using existing proxy server configuration, or if need, a separate proxy server configuration is also provided.

Runs as a Windows Application

RPM 9x installs as a standard Windows application, requiring a user to be logged-on in order for RPM to receive and print incoming data. RPM 9x can be started manually, through a shortcut in the Startup folder, or can be configured to start automatically in the Windows registry.

Run Completely Hidden

RPM 9x can run completely hidden from users through the Complete Hide option. Initially, the RPM icon is displayed in the Windows task tray, but may be completely "hidden" from users, reducing interference or modification of the RPM configuration.

Print Error Recovery

Previous RPM 9x versions suspend queues when an error is detected with a Windows resource. RPM now automatically resumes processing when the error is resolved, reducing time spent administering queues.

Resource Scheduler

A new resource scheduler has been designed to provide faster turnaround for all printing tasks and use Windows resources with greater efficiency.
