• Allows access to all plotters and printers from any application within an enterprise
• Performs automatic conversions of plot formats from any application to the native language of the desired device
• Spools plot tasks with respect to priority and start time
• Provides up-to-date information about the processing state of all plot jobs
• Lets users modify existing plot jobs
• Provides automatic distribution of plots to the appropriate device (depending on size, contents, user)
• Allows quick and easy system administration
• Records the number of plots, paper usage and many other system resource allocations for accounting purposes

Large operations usually require weeks to get a new application to work with existing plotters. Using gXnetPlot, it can be done in less than an hour. The same also holds true when integrating a new plotter with existing applications. Both are no longer problems with gXnetPlot. In fact, all existing output devices can be utilized immediately.

A complete security scheme is integrated into gXnetPlot which customizes every users access rights. No one without privileges will be able to manipulate the plot management system or view confidential plot data.

A remote server concept allows plotting within the entire enterprise--removing geographic constraints. Remote departments can use central plot facilities and high performance devices.

A reprographics interface supports complex sets of plot jobs. Multiple files may be defined as a set, and the number of copies, scaling and post-processing options may be given per individual file and set. Stamps, labels and banner pages may also be generated. A post-processing interface controls cutting, folding, punching and sorting.

Specialized print servers are optimized in gXnetPlot for high performance plotters (leading manufacturers include: Oce, XES, JRL, CalComp, Indigo, etc.) The print servers utilize plotting features like multiple copies, set processing, media and roll selection. For lower range plotter models, gXnetPlot can emulate these intelligent features, giving a full range of functionality and optimum performance for all devices.

Many system administrators and help desks are overwhelmed with calls like, Wheres my plot? With gXnetPlot, the user can view a queue status at any time, look up the position and status of their jobs in queues, and get a message when the job is complete. Imagine the increase in productivity to your users, system administration, etc. If users are kept informed, the plotting process will become more efficient.

gXnetPlot will benefit everyone in the operation from system administrators and managers in charge of plotting, reprographics and archiving--to individual users and the entire enterprise as a whole. It is a complete and scaleable solution for enterprise-wide plotting and reprographics management.

gXnetPlot is the only complete plotting, printing and reprographics solution available on the market today. No other software tool anywhere can accommodate more application formats to use with any printing and plotting device. gXconvert (the most universal graphics conversion program for plot file generation) is built in to gXnetPlot to ensure the best file conversions within the entire management process. No other system like it can affect the total cost and efficiency of operations more positively or dramatically. This unique product offering is the first of its kind anywhere and is available through GTS-GRAL.

Allegria products are distributed by GTS-GRAL, your enterprise-wide solutions provider.
