Overview

The Fontware DataSTORM unit is a unique turnkey multiport print datastream manipulation gateway that acts like a print server and network bridge. It is possible to modify and add logical functions including search and replace, triggers, variables, and reprint to produce user defined output on a per queue/printer basis. Forms, macros and fonts can be stored within the device and manipulated on individual page.

Your Challenges

Organisations often find it difficult to manipulate their existing datastream to allow more flexible printing across a variety of output devices.

Key Challenges

Often expensive and complicated software needs to be installed on the server in order to allow datastream manipulation
This type of software can often be difficult to install, configure, and support
It is complicated for organisations to migrate from low quality dot-matrix multi-part impact printing to cut sheet laser printing
Organisations that have legacy applications written in Prescribe language are tied to Kyocera printers and MFDs
In order to move from limiting legacy applications, organisations often have to go to the expense of reprogramming their software
