Printing automation from any software
E2K Spooler is a software solution for printing automation; E2K Spooler integrates seamlessly into all those systems that can create simple text files with information to be printed (variable data).
It is designed to intercept data files right after they appear and immediately print the corresponding information, without human intervention.
The technology
The basic idea is to combine the three key elements of a printing and produce the result.
E2K Spooler automates the printing process using the received data in accordance with a preset configuration.
Upon installation, a few parameters are configured so that the application has all the elements that it needs to generate the prints autonomously once it receives the variable data.
The three basic elements in the print flow are:
WHAT = WHAT TO PRINT
Variabile data to be printed, in the form of text files following a standard format.
HOW = HOW TO PRINT
The print layout, a format created and maintained with a graphical tool included in E2K Spooler, which allows high flexibility, print quality and ease of use.
WHERE = WHERE TO PRINT
The Windows printer to be used as destination.
E2K Spooler allows to send special sequences in pass-through, for example to activate specific features of the printer using its native language (magnetic bar encoding, RF tag, etc..); moreover, it is possible to print text in eastern alphabets (Kanji, Thai, etc.), variable logos and barcodes in several symbologies.

In brief
E2K Spooler is a useful tool for all the companies that, in their workflow, require the automatic production of prints from different programs, or from older systems which do not have advanced capabilities in printing reports.
The use of E2K Spooler allows a considerable saving, especially when the layout of the reports need to be changed frequently; for example, if your ERP has a complicated or too modest support for the creation of custom reports.
E2K Spooler provides speed and efficiency, minimizing errors by automating the printing phase; additionally, it allows to manage potentially problematic elements with great ease, such as barcode in various symbologies, graphical logo, oriental languages, sequences in the native printer language, and more.
