Business Editors

ATLANTA & LONG BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 31, 2001

The iSeries/400 Division of ACOM Solutions Inc., has released a series of new features and enhancements for its flagship EZPrint/400 electronic forms/checks/labels solution that enhance user convenience and power and which also satisfy emerging requirements of vendors and banks, it was announced today by Mark Firmin, vice president of sales at the division.

Leading the list is EZPrint's ability to combine two different spool files during Check Merge and to collate the printed output. Users conserve time and personnel resources by eliminating manual activities involved with stuffing checks with accompanying materials such as remittance information overflow, invoices and statements. The Combine Spool Files feature is available immediately and is priced at $795.00.

"Managers in back offices everywhere are being asked to cut costs and streamline their operations," Firmin said. "This is yet another example of how EZPrint/400 supports that mission, by accelerating processes, eliminating costly interim paper-handling, and enabling the reassignment of personnel to tasks that are far more rewarding than stuffing envelopes."

Other new features include:

-- an option for AutoMerge that carries forward the originator's User ID,
rather than replacing it with those of individuals producing reports from the
spool file; assures that the file remains easy to find;

-- the ability to generate Serial Number both as text and barcode when
generating labels for such shippers as UPS and others;

-- an option to the Utilities menu for Save/Restore of bank account information
that authorizes ACOM Professional Services to implement bank accounts for
customers, at a cost of $95 per account;

-- the ability to output a Void flag during Positive Pay generation as well as
to insert a value rather than leaving a blank to represent issued checks,
simplifying the review process at customer banks;

-- mirror fonts (10 pitch and 12 pitch) for use with cellophane-windowed
self-sealing check stock. Printed in reverse, the type appears as a positive
image in the window after folding.

"These enhancements are a result of our ongoing communication with our customers," Firmin said. "Some are in response to direct requests, others come about through the periodic surveys we conduct to ascertain additional user wants and needs. We feel that this customer feedback is instrumental in keeping our award-winning solution at the top of its class."

Customers under maintenance contracts can obtain the latest version of EZPrint/400 by contacting ACOM technical support at 800/603-6768, ext. 113.
