BARR/PRINT390

BARR/PRINT390 is an optional software and hardware module of the Barr Enterprise Print Server. It connects channel-attached production printers to a Windows®-based personal computer. It drives up to eight printers per adapter and can use up to four adapters per Print Server.

This module is an integral part of several applications:

• Production Print Management

• Enable Remote Production Printers

• Host Printing

• Replace Channel Extender

BARR/PRINT390 integrates easily into the Windows print architecture. The module is implemented with two components: a Barr PRINT390 printer driver and a Barr PRINT390 port monitor. The Barr PRINT390 printer driver prepares data for a channel printer by generating EBCDIC data with S/390 machine carriage control. The Barr PRINT390 port monitor is used to communicate with the CHANNEL-OUT adapter.
