Green Output

Overview

Using Green Output allows you to cut your paper printing costs by printing mainframe reports to .txt, .pdf, .xls, or .csv files instead of printing on paper. Reports can be sent to WebSpace accounts, as well as to both personal and bulk mount Austin Disk accounts. Sending Green Output to bulk mount shares on Austin Disk means that anyone who has access to the bulk mount will have access to the output. Groups of users can easily access the mainframe reports that reside in a secure central location.

Features

  • Print mainframe reports to .txt, .pdf, .xls, or .csv files on secure WebSpace or Austin Disk accounts.
  • Access reports by an individual (WebSpace and individual Austin Disk accounts) or by a group (Austin Disk bulk mount account).
  • Quickly search mainframe reports using applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel, or Adobe Acrobat (depending on file type).
  • Using Green Output can significantly reduce your paper usage. With an average of 50,000 green output reports per month, that's a lot of paper!
