American PrintWare Inc. launches “RoutXpress 2.1”
October 10, 2007 – A new product solution for advanced and automatic re-routing of print jobs based on rules set by an administrator can save a company not only dollars but frustration and time.

American Printware, Inc. is please to announce the latest release of RoutXpress version 2.1, a rule-based, print job routing software product. The product is available for a free 30-day trial; you can download this trial at APWI web page, http://www.apwi.com/rx_download.html

RoutXpress is the tool that a Network Administrator needs to better manage their printing network. RoutXpress starts by discovering all the printers on your network, including PC slave printers. It tracks all print jobs and produces reports showing usage and cost by printer, user, and groups of users. This information is important to the Administrator as they try to get a handle on their total print cost, and to better understand how they can best utilize their print capabilities. The Administrator’s goal it to optimize their network printing capabilities so as to print all jobs economically and expeditiously. RoutXpress can help them do this. RoutXpress can also increase the users productivity by routing all print jobs to the best printer, as defined by the Administrator. Users can send any type of document and RoutXpress will route the print job to the best printer! If a printer stops functioning for any reason (paper jam, out of paper, out of toner, mechanically “down”) RoutXpress will automatically re-rout the print jobs to the NEXT best printer as defined by the Administrator's pre-defined rules. If and when RoutXpress does re-rout a print job, it notifies the user, telling them which printer printed the job and when the job is finished printing. This way the user does not waist time going to the wrong printer or standing around waiting for the print job to finish printing. RoutXpress also includes security features that allow only the Network Administrator to create, modify, or delete, the rules. Predefined rules can initiate email notification to the Administrator, remote technical support and service personal when certain conditions such as printer down, out of paper, out of toner, etc, are detected.

With the new Instant Messenger Client, the user not only gets the completion and routing messages but they can do Group Jobs (grouping jobs together to release them together to the printer one time, eliminating job mixing), Secure Printing (print jobs securely to normal network printers), Media Printing (print jobs requiring special media to normal network printers) and Pending Job Deletion (delete pending jobs). There is also a feature to assign Account Numbers to completed jobs for Bill Back purposes.
