Appic - Solutions - Production

StarPage is the production printing application of the StarJet solution. It
works on data flow generated by an application and produces documents
tailored to the recipient, and the medium of delivery (PDF, PCL, XML, ASCII,
fax, e-mail…).

Integration

StarPage seamlessly converts reports into enhanced paper or electronic documents, without requiring any modification of you existing data or programs.
It interacts with data streams coming from StarDispatch or from your usual application programs (in house, SAP/R3, MFG-PRO, JDE, ORACLE Application….).

Generating documents

StarPage builds dynamic documents [forms, invoices, pay slips, checks, tax forms, labels, bar codes...] according to specifications defined using StarJet Design.
Furthermore StarPage can turn your "old time' report into a PDF document or a XML stream if the organization you are dealing with requires such information channel.

Efficiency

StarPage limits the number of application / data base extraction programs required, avoiding both redundancy and multiple accesses to the same database. It doesn't matter which type of processing is required, StarPage does it all.

Performance

Nominal printers' speeds are maintained without any loss of printing performance and any reprinting of defective pages is managed at the individual page level.
Specific characters and character sets are supported including Arabic script and all available bar code fonts.

Compatibility

All documents generated by StarPage are fully compatible with the StarFind archiving module, as well as alternative third party archival software..
