The Enhanced Laser Printing System (ELP) is an intelligent, modular, scalable and very efficient Output Management System. One of the main objectives of ELP is the ease of use and the very small training period. ELP offers different possibilities to enhance and modify the printer data stream without interfering in existing processes.

If you have access to the internet, then please click here for a short description of the main features:

Flow of the print data stream

ELP installed on VMS, Linux, AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Unix operates as a device filter and, on all supported Windows operating systems as a print processor. This guarantees that ELP does not need any system resources in idle mode. The following graphic gives an overview illustrating the most important functions such as controlling print functions (non carbon copies, tray pulling, electronic forms, bar codes and much more), Distributed Printing (e.g. using e-mail PDF attachment), archiving and accounting.

Supported Hardware Platforms

Specifications of the ELP modules

ELP overview

Base version (BAS module)

Bar code modules for 2D and 1D bar codes (PCL5 and PostScript) (BAR module)

ELP (or forms) module (FOR module)

Print job distribution and archiving module (SND module)

Accounting and monitoring module (PLU module)

Database support (PLU module)

E-mail module (SND module)

Emulations (EMU module)

Most of the emulations are developed based on customer data streams. The printout can generally be scaled in X/Y direction (not the graphic elements). In cases where the printout is wrong, please send us the source data streams including a scanned proof on the original printer.

Double-Byte and Unicode (UNI module)

Other features

Can be used with almost every operating system using LPR protocol.

100 % compatible with PCL5e  and PCL5c (HP LaserJet), like scaling the data stream. 
Partial support of PCL3GUI (HP Business Inkjet).

Acts as a print processor running within Windows, as a filter running in a Unix environment and for IBM AS/400 as a queue plug-in.
