Font Filter

The BENS Barcode Filter is PCL-compatible and can for, example, be immediately put into use by SAP^® users. No conversions have to be carried out on the SAP^® system.

The Unicode Filter enables printing of Unicode data on printers that are either not Unicode-enabled or do not possess the respective font types.

The Prescribe PCL Filter enables printing of prescribe print data on PCL printers that do not possess any prescribe emulation. The filter converts prescribe print data into PCL print data – on-the-fly and with a very high performance rate.

The Macro Filter enables the adding of prefabricated print data (also called macros or overlays) to the print data in use. Macros can depict letterheads, logos, footers, water marks, GTCs, or similar items.

With the Carbon Copy Filter carbon copies are realised, meaning that each page of a print document or even the entire document is printed several times. Entries such as the number of copies are configurable.

This filter enables the printing of the standardised, optically readable fonts OCR-A and OCR-B.

The BENS DataCompress Filter compresses up to factor 1:8 for a cost-effective transfer via WAN-lines for example from Europe to China.

The BENS CleverPrint Filter supports economical and ecological printing by forcing duplex, black and white and ECO-printing.

The BENS SplitSpool Filter separates spool files into several different print jobs, so that those can be further processed separately (e.g. stapled or enveloped).

Der BENS MergeJobs Filter merges a number of print jobs into one single print job.

This filter supports the printing into electronic printer boxes from systems offering no such options (e.g. SAP®).

Apart from the typical print protocol, BENS also offers a print protocol compatible with IOS^®-devices. The BENS-Administrator can release single printers for the printing from IOS^®-devices.

The BENS follow me function saves a user’s print jobs until he calls them from a printer via a WEB-browser with authentication and has them printed.

Optionally, BENS OS4 supports IPDS and AFPDS printing. There is a demo version for black&white printing with max. 55 ppm on each BENS Server.

Customized Filters are programmes that do not belong to the current BENS standard and were especially developed following a customer’s special order.
