Print servers

Ricoh print servers receive print jobs from various sources and prepare them to be sent to a printer. After print jobs have been prepared, the print server interacts with the printer to make sure that all the required resources are available, then sends the print job data to be printed.

Several different print servers are available. Although they provide much of the same function, they are appropriate for different environments.

In this section:

  1. InfoPrint Manager
    InfoPrint Manager is a flexible and scalable print management solution for AIX, Linux or Windows that provides many choices in expanding and managing your print environment. InfoPrint Manager can process print jobs that contain references to color management resources and interact with centralized resource libraries.
  2. Ricoh ProcessDirector
    Ricoh ProcessDirector is a database-driven print workflow system that lets you manage all aspects of your printing process. The server runs on an AIX or Linux system and is accessed using a Web browser-based interface. Ricoh ProcessDirector can receive and process AFP print jobs that include AFP color management objects.
