Optimized for Throughput
Each workstation on the network has full control of "front end" printer functions. Print files may be printed from any location on the network with no Operator required for printing. Printing begins immediately and proceeds as the file is received over the network. The user interface for submitting jobs and controlling printing parameters is refined for high throughput and particular ease of use. Each workstation submitting jobs to the printer can control all printing parameters as well as monitor the queue of work being printed. (e.g. print size, image rotation, print job priority, borders, text notes on prints, color balance, and number of prints.) Each workstation has full control of: print size, image rotation, job priority, borders, and text notes on prints, color balance and number of prints. Optional WorkStream software package offers the on-the-fly imaging capabilities of Workstation with such additional benefits as packaging, order management, production tracking and the integration of labs and their customers, which streamlines workflow and maximizes productivity.
