Printers for BS2000/OSD

The cost-effective approach to large print volumes

BS2000/OSD supports a vast range of printing systems as standard, from desktop and departmental printing solutions to high-performance printing systems for production printing. These systems can be connected to BS2000/OSD servers in a variety of ways thanks to the flexibility afforded by different interfaces and emulations.
BS2000/OSD Print & Output Management is open to all printing technologies and provides optimum connectivity and scalability.
Printers are connected to BS2000/OSD mainly via one of the channel interfaces (channel-attached) or as network printers (LAN-attached). The printers are supported by the central SPOOL system or via the remote spool solution RSO.
Following are some representatives from the broad array of LAN and directly supported printers that are fully supported via the RSO (Remote Spool Output) system preferably via the PCL5e, ECMA or ANSI emulations or as a generic type.

Dot matrix printers: ideally suited to printing lists, barcodes, labels and forms.
Printers compatible with the 9014, 9016 and 9017 types can be purchased from PSi.
