IKON PowerPORT™ is an integrated software solution that automatically converts Xerox LCDS and IBM data streams to industry standard PostScript for printing on network printers without costly reprogramming. Powered by Rochester Software Associates, IKON PowerPORT™ is the only print/transform solution that resides on the iR110 and Pro 150+ controller, eliminating the need for a separate server and simplifying workflow.

IKON PowerPORT™ creates a straightforward workflow to improve print production, streamline operations and reduce costs. It allows you to:

• Use the same high speed production printer for both LAN and host documents.
• Share print resources between departments, groups, and other segments of your business.
• Extend your network print capabilities to include host, desktop publishing and network applications from any source or environment.
• Consolidate print resources and upgrade older, dedicated centralized production printers.
• Choose the best print option for each application.
  

IKON PowerPORT™ is designed for use in today’s most intense, high-speed production printing environments, providing continuous operation without the need for frequent system reboots. IKON PowerPORT™ is able to process 1,000 to 3,000 pages per minute. When used in conjunction with state-of-the art print imaging solutions such as the Canon imageRUNNER 110 or imageRUNNER Pro 150+, it delivers plenty of muscle to keep pace with the most demanding production schedules…even those with extreme volume peaks. Plus, you can use the Companion Print feature to drive iR110/iR150 converted jobs to smaller network printers to provide backup or small job off loading.

IKON PowerPORT™ software converts Xerox (DJDE, Metacode) and line printer (FSL, JSL, FRM, FNT, LGO and IMG) data streams into PDF or TIFF files for fast, convenient web publishing, archival, email distribution, faxing and other applications. It enables businesses to:
