Information on RPM Select

RPM Select is the only complete solution supporting LPD and stream protocols that enables users to receive and customize print jobs from any AS/400, mainframe, UNIX or Windows-based system to any Windows printer - locally or remotely. RPM is built to work seamlessly and run as a service within Windows NT, 2000, and XP environments. 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 integrate with third party software.

[RPM Elite (for Win NT/2000/XP)]  [RPM 9X (for Win 95/98/ME)]

Designed for Windows NT/2000/ XP

Originally designed for Windows 2000, with backward compatibility for Windows NT, RPM has been enhanced and updated to include support for all Windows NT-based platforms, including Windows NT, 2000, and XP. RPM installs at the kernel level and runs as a native service.

Supports 24 Printers

RPM Select supports up to 24 printers; however, if required, this product can be upgraded to RPM Elite to support more printers. RPM Select has no limit in the number of print queues and filter queues do not use printers.

Brooks License Manager

The 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.

Integrated with Windows security

RPM Select is fully integrated with Windows security. System administrators can control access to RPM through the "DCOM Configuration" utility in Windows. Configuration changes can be controlled using the Windows Registry (Regedt32.exe) and incoming print jobs can be secured with the NTFS file system.

Controlled Filter Queue Processing

RPM Select controls the processing in filter queues with a delay between executing filter programs. The delay reduces impact on users currently logged into the workstation allowing the user to continue working without interruption. Users' work is less affected by processor or memory intensive applications that may be called from a filter queue, such as Microsoft Word or Access.
