A Danger to OperationsA Danger to Operations

For example, in the healthcare industry, unplanned downtime may impact printing of patient care orders, medication information, dietary needs etc. for the patient care providers.

This can be a serious detriment to company productivity. How can you mitigate this disaster and keep your printers online?


Using OM Plus for Document ArchivingUsing OM Plus for Document Archiving

Plus Technologies has a solution for unplanned downtime based on its output management software, OM Plus.

Even when the network goes down, you can still print the documents you need.


Circumventing the NetworkCircumventing the Network

OM Plus can circumvent the network using “agents.”

The host system prints documents through the OM Plus system to remotely located OM Plus agents.

Agents are scaled down configurations of OM Plus.


A Network Downtime Print SolutionA Network Downtime Print Solution

The OM Plus agents deliver the print jobs to the local printers as well as store the jobs locally for a user-defined period of time, after which the jobs are automatically purged.

Should a network problem interrupt the transmission of print jobs from central, the local OM Plus agents have all the jobs kept locally.

In this way local personnel can retrieve and print jobs without having to go back to central.

No changes are required to the host application.


The Archiving AlternativeThe Archiving Alternative

You can also use OM Plus Archives

With constantly refreshing archives, you’ll be able to access to centrally produced documents, even when network access is interrupted.

Documents can be retrieved and viewed from within the Archive system.

Users open the Archive interface and enter the index information related to the document in question.

OM Plus Archive returns the matches and the user selects the jobs needed.
