 Electronic Business Forms
The benefits of converting to Electronic Business Forms are many, primarily:
- Maximizing print speed by storing electronic forms, logos, fonts and signatures on printer resident "flash" memory
- Ease of programming directly from your PC
- Eliminating ALL costs associated with pre-printed forms
The advantages of the electronic form output capabilities of state-of-the-art laser printers are:
- Eliminate waste and obsolescence
- Improve quality and consistent look of your documents and forms
- Quickly change and update your printed output
Electronic Forms Applications
SmartSIMM "flash" memory for Hewlett Packard Laserjet printers allows you to effectively create an on-demand printing environment. After scanning and converting pre-printed forms into electronic format, the SmartSIMM provides the functionality of a "form server".
Technology
"Flash" SIMM technology offers the advantage of storing fonts, logos, signatures, and electronic forms at the printer level. Even if the printer is turned off the information stored in "flash" memory will be retained.
Ease Of Use
The SmartSIMM comes with easy-to-use Windows management software which allows users to store, maintain and control the data on the SIMM. The software also allows users to download and store files generated by any software application that is capable of producing PCL files, such as Word, Word Perfect, Power Point, Corel Draw, Pagemaker, etc. as overlay images on the SmartSIMM.
Efficient Forms Conversion
SmartSIMM can be used most effectively in combination with the Transform package, which allows you to automatically convert scanned forms into vector forms that can be edited.
