Solutions Expo 2002 Booth 818 CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 24, 2002 New Solutions Provide Printronix Customers Solid Improvements Over Limiting Realities of Their Supply Chain and Enterprise Networks Printronix Inc. (Nasdaq:PTNX PTNX Private Telecommunications Network Exchange ), the leading manufacturer of integrated enterprise printing solutions for the supply chain, today unveiled an expanded product line and range of on-demand printing See print on demand. solutions to help businesses reduce costs, streamline operations and improve information flow. "Today, we deliver on our promise to multiply mul·ti·ply v. 1. To increase the amount, number, or degree of. 2. To breed or propagate. supply-chain productivity by providing the most reliable on-demand printing solutions and pioneering bar code printing technologies available in the industry," said Robert A. Kleist, Printronix president and chief executive officer. By broadening its offerings, Printronix bolsters its position as trusted business-improvement partner offering a first-to-market, cost-efficient way to manage applications -- for every technology, for every customer. New Solutions Turn Printers Into Competitive Solutions At Frontline Solutions Expo 2002 today, Printronix presented breakthrough products and solutions that represent a first-to-market, cost-efficient way to manage enterprise print applications. These solutions demonstrate Printronix's evolution into a trusted business-improvement partner for customers seeking customized bar code applications and superior customer service. Printronix's latest innovations present a solutions-forward approach to solving customers' supply-chain printing challenges. Combined with its award-winning printer technology, Printronix solutions represent a first-to-market, cost-efficient way to manage enterprise print applications. "In our industry, customers today have two key business requirements," Kleist continued. "First, they need true enterprise printing solutions for business improvement, not stand-alone products that are difficult to integrate and lack total-cost-of-ownership value. Second, they need to maximize supply chain efficiency with solutions that have immediate bottom-line return." Printronix addresses these two critical challenges with its new suite of products and solutions: PrintNet(R) Enterprise -- A first in the market, Printronix PrintNet Enterprise is a Web-enabled remote network print management system for line matrix, laser and thermal printers See direct thermal printer and thermal wax transfer printer. offering the ultimate flexibility in managing mission-critical enterprise applications. Enhanced to manage wireless applications, PrintNet Enterprise combines remote diagnostic and help desk tools with a robust alerting system. It is the only system providing visibility to every network printer instantly and allowing users to configure See configuration.

Cygnus configure was a similar system developed by K. an unlimited number of Printronix printers simultaneously. IT managers also can view the status of every managed Printronix printer via HP Open View, Tivoli and other printer management software. Online Data Validation/ODV(TM) Data Manager -- Online Data Validation In computer science, data validation is the process of ensuring that a program operates on clean, correct and useful data. It uses routines, often called validation rules, that check for correctness or meaningfulness of data that are input to the system. is Printronix's exclusive automated au·to·mate v. au·to·mat·ed, au·to·mat·ing, au·to·mates v.tr. 1.

The result: intuitive innovation that solves customers' costly bar code rejection challenges. Printronix now has enhanced this application by introducing ODV ODV O-Desmethylvenlafaxine ODV Omni Directional Vehicle ODV Optimised Deprival Value (asset evaluation) ODV Outdoor Vending ODV Oracle Database Vault Data Manager, which integrates PrintNet Enterprise with ODV to give users robust data-capturing and reporting capabilities. Users can capture data about their printing applications, monitor and review all bar codes printed. With PrintNet Enterprise, users can evaluate data within each barcode, merge information into a database and port it to any application, such as SAP or Oracle. Producing defined custom reports, PrintNet Enterprise helps users manage industrial network printer systems. Mobile Print System -- Printronix innovates wireless printing with the introduction of its Mobile Print System. The Mobile Print System slides seamlessly into any 802.11b wireless network to enable Web-based printer management -- from around the corner or around the world. Mobile Print System enables the Printronix T5000e thermal printers to have flexible print management. In its ideal application, Mobile Print System brings wireless technology to diverse and demanding environments, including shipping docks and manufacturing floors, while permitting continuous printer management. The suite of solutions spearheaded by Mobile Print System gives Printronix enterprise customers unprecedented mobile control of industrial printer peripherals and custom-designed applications. T5000e -- Printronix's new T5000e sets industry standards for ease of use and durability, giving users more control. The T5000e is a Web-enabled, industrial-grade thermal bar code printer designed for exacting label applications. It features a wireless technology option, based on the 802.11b standard. When empowered by PrintNet Enterprise, it gives users total control over the enterprise printer remotely. The T5000e has advanced intelligence to help industries from manufacturing to automotive to retail perform more efficiently. With a completely sealed unit, the T5000e is ideal for use in the harshest of industrial environments. In addition, the industry's broadest connectivity capabilities make it the most dynamic industrial thermal printer available today. TN5250/3270 Emulation (architecture) emulation - When one system performs in exactly the same way as another, though perhaps not at the same speed. A typical example would be emulation of one computer by (a program running on) another. -- The TN5250/3270 Emulation is for Printronix T5000e thermal and P5000 line matrix printers. This solution builds a seamless gap between Coax/Twinax printer applications and Ethernet connectivity. In the past, companies had to choose between Twinax/Coax applications or Ethernet connectivity. Ethernet was not built to provide page-level control without middleware Software that functions as a conversion or translation layer. It is also a consolidator and integrator. Custom-programmed middleware solutions have been developed for decades to enable one application to communicate with another that either runs on a different platform or comes from a , and Coax/Twinax was not built for ease of use. The Printronix TN5250/3270 Emulation provides printer-based, Ethernet migration -- with little to no change in host programming. Wireless -- Printronix introduces wireless printing with a competitive difference. Today's just-in-time manufacturing just-in-time manufacturing (JIT) Production-control system, developed by Toyota Motor Corp. and imported to the West, that has revolutionized manufacturing methods in some industries. and logistics environment are demanding of printers. Frequent warehouse, distribution center and factory configuration changes involve expensive cabling and retesting procedures. Although wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area technology provides a viable solution, it does increase the need for true printer management to ensure consistency and diagnostic control. Printronix addresses these demands with its wireless solution. Equipped with the exclusive Printronix Dual PrintNet NIC (1) (Network Interface Card) See network adapter. See also InterNIC.
