Reply to "2090 Doc Server Application"

Hey Guys,
Once again, thanks for all the help on this one. The bad news is that even though the system is connected and printing, my plan to store the tabbed sections individually and print the job as a whole to the doc server still did not work. I thought that I had worked around my problems by using DTB to combine the multiple sections and send them to the doc server as a single job and then apply print settings. However, DTB will not allow the user to print to the doc server. So, I'm back to where I started. The client can either do what Art suggested and store the whole job with print settings and use the Editor capability of the doc server to make changes (but then the client can't print some tabbed sections simplex and some duplex...am I right about that?) or the client can continue to do what we were doing in the interim, which is to keep tabbed sections as separate documents and print them one at a time from the doc server to ultimately end up with a finished booklet. Even though the T/R Micropress might fix the problem, the additional cost will make my cost justification for the deal go out the window and the client will continue to have these booklets printed by an outside printer.

The good news is that even with this shortcoming, my client is so enamoured with the system and its scanning and printing capabilities, I closed the deal yesterday (I guess that's why we do demos!). I also got an order for a 1060 for their satellite office which I will be delivering after Christmas.

All in all, based on my comp plan (I'll save that for another thread) I will make about $3,800 on the deal, so even though it was an incredible pain, it was well worth the effort.

Once again, thanks for all the input. This site is an incredible resource.

Brian
