Speed
-
Ultra-high Speed! (Over 100,000 Letters/Min on Merge-to-File)
- Over 1000 times faster than Word
- Merge speed linear with computer processor
- Simple letters on Pentium IV – 2 Gig –
135,000 pages per minute
- Very complex letter with hundreds of variables from
several tables and
variable graphics at 30,000 - 50,0000 pages per min.
- All this means High-Volume Production Printing with
Low Cost
Printer
Support
-
Print to any Windows printer port or Print to File.
- Create Print Files Automatically
- Concurrent Multiple Printer Support – Up to
six printers per job
- Launch any number of jobs – some clients support
twenty or so printers
- Color Printing with any PCL5c or PDF Printer
- Duplex Printing
- Control of Finishing Features – multiple trays,
stitching, punching and collation
- Automatic personalized booklet creation –
versioning – every booklet different
- Bar code insertion for intelligent inserters
- Paper Source and Output Bin Selected On-The-Fly
by Merge Data
- Multiple Page Letters
- Multiple Record Merge on One Page (N-up Printing)
- Creation of Signatures with proper page numbering
and image offset
Versatility
-
Use Forms Generated by Microsoft Windows Applications,
PDF files, Quark,
Adobe, etc.
- Production Tracking
- Compatibility With All Common Mail List Formats
- Easy Set-up, Saving, Loading and Cloning of Job
Files
- Built-in Native Support for Monochrome and Color
PCX Graphics
- Choose batch sizes to suit your environment, not
the software limitations
- Automatic naming of batches within a job, Bank-1,
Bank-2, Bank–3, etc.
- Batch information printed on a summary sheet for
each batch
- Release batch one to printer one, batch two to printer
two, etc.
- Deal effectively with complex jobs re batching --
batch a letter, two-up BRCs and four up coupons for
proper, efficient delivery to the inserter.
- One PC for Jet Letter set-ups and one server can
control many printers
- Fully compatible with output mailing lists from
all popular PC-based pre-sorting
programs
Variable
and Math
-
Load dozens of tables into memory for fast processing
- “Point to” and use external tables (DBF
files)
- Inclusion of an unlimited number of variables or
“Merge Fields”,
- Each variable is 1024 bytes long
- Use normal English for variable names
- Use one dimensional arrays as variables {cost(x)}
- Use existing column headings as variable names
- Accurate integer and dollar math up to +/- 2,000,000,000
(floating-point math causes rounding errors in dollar
amounts)
- Proper handling of U.S. currency. $7,234,567.89
is valid.
- Tests and arithmetic can be done on these currency
values
- Conversion of dollars to dollar text
- String manipulation, length, insertion, and search
for character(s), concatenation.
- Persistent variables saved from run to run -- such
as last invoice number, individual, batch, or group
totals, discounts offered, etc.
Logic
-
Relational Database Capability Though Tables
- Conditionally Selected Text/Graphics/Format/Forms/Subroutines
- True IF, WHILE and FOR programming structures
- String manipulation; length, insertion, search for
character, substitution, concatenation
- One to many lookups – find all records with
a selected key
- Support for complex jobs
- Batch totals
- Persistent variables – individual billing
amounts, number of transactions, totals by batch,
type or group saved from job to job
- Numeric data summaries (or detail) to your client
- Print invoice totals on first page
- Page x of n
- Draw bar charts, pie charts etc based on variable
data – in color
- Perform logic on computed numeric data – “Since
your billing exceeds $x for the last three months,
and you are a member of the y club, you are entitled
to a z% discount.” Where x, y and z can be table
lookups based on dollar amounts, and affiliation tables.
Fonts
and Barcodes
-
Use of up to 250 Simultaneous Printer Fonts
300, 600, or 1200 dpi Fonts
- True Type to PCL converter built in
Barcode Printing:
- Postnet and Planet code with checkdigit calculation
- Code 39 and code 39 extended
- Code 2 of 5 interleaved
- Code 128a/b/c
- UPC
- Easy-to-use USPS Delivery and Signature Confirmation
2D Barcodes
-
Underlining, Bolding and Strike-through
- Simulated Realistic Hand Writing
- Perfect MICR printing with one command (to 1/720
inch)
OCR-A/B
Tables
-
Draw data from any number of tables
- Each column in a table represents another variable
to use
- Find key in one table for the next table, etc. etc.
(nested linking)
- Do what may have been done in FoxPro, Access, or
VB in Jet Letter,
but much faster both in set-up and processing time.
- Cells in tables may contain Jet Letter scripts –
use logic to call a “standard” script
stored in a table.
- One to many lookups – find all rows with a
common key
