Does BlueZone support Print Area?
Yes, Bluezone can be configured so that it will print all or part of multiple screens automatically. The user must define specific "Print Area" strings that uniquelly identify the print function the user wants the system to execute (such as defining a string that identifites the last screen to print). When the print screen function is selected, BlueZone searches the screen to see if it matches a defined “Print Area”. If so, the screens are printed. If not, the single screen is printed as a normal print screen.

Does BlueZone offer a print server?

It is a Line Printer Daemon (LPD) allowing printer data streams originating on a variety of host systems to be printed over TCP/IP to any Windows printer, using the LPR/LPD protocol. You may use the BlueZone TCP/IP Printer on a shared PC as a print server, allowing multiple users to share a single print queue, or run it on every PC, giving each user a unique print queue.
