How to manage multilingual printing?


With the Unicode UTF-8 / UCS-2 / UTF-16 option


Definition

Process your spooled files in any code page. Requires the MAPPING license.

General Principle

The Unicode version of MAPPING Suite makes it possible to print, email, archive... while mixing any language in the same document: your documents can mix English with French, Arabic, Vietnamese, Chinese, etc in the same page.
As far as printing is concerned, MAPPING has developed a font management solution that supports Unicode on all PCL5 printers on the market.
MAPPING Suite eliminates the need for multi-language plug-ins in PDF Readers as PDF documents produced with MAPPING Suite encompass Unicode fonts and encodings required to perform searches and copy/paste text in any language.
Unicode archiving makes it possible to display and search documents in a Web interface on a single machine without having to worry about which country the document comes from, which enables you to federate archive servers on a global scale.


MAPPING Suite caractères unicode

In Unicode mode, you no longer need to design one template or set up one font selection by language group. All you need to do is design one single document, which makes it easier to maintain templates through time.

What more,  MAPPING Suite Unicode includes converters to migrate your documents from one specific code page (e.g. 1252,125x, iso-8851-1, iso-8851-x, ....) to Unicode.
Among those converters, our products also include EBCDIC (e.g. 297,500,1147, 37, ...) to Unicode code page converters.

MAPPING Suite Unicode supports True Type Fonts (Open Type), TTC (True Type Collection) and TTE.
MAPPING Suite Unicode also manages UDC (User Defined Characters) and UPA (User Private Area), for handling Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

MAPPING Suite Unicode runs natively on iSeries (AS400), Windows Server, Linux (RedHat, Suse) and Unix (HPUX, SUN SOLARIS, AIX) and includes support for all the code pages below:
