Mainframe Printing Services

The NIH Data Center offers several printing options for job output. Output from Titan can be listed at a local networked printer, conveniently located in the user's office, or at the central facility.

Helix users can send output to the NIH Data Center central printers using the helix print370 command.

Titan

The standard printing service produces high quality output on laser printers, at approximately 229 pages per minute, on continuous forms. Cut-sheet laser printing and slower impact printing services are also available.

Refer to the Titan Batch Processing manual and the Titan User's Guide for more information about Titan printing services.

Most listings and job output at the central facility are done on the 3900 Printing Subsystem, which is a high-speed laser printer. The 2105ES printer offers high quality single-sided or double-sided (duplex) printing on cut sheet paper in landscape or portrait mode. In addition, there is 3-hole punched paper available.

Impact Printers at the Central Facility

The slower impact printers must be used for jobs which must print within 1/2 inch of the perforations between pages, do overprinting with any character except underline, or use pressure sensitive labels or multi-part forms.

Local Networked Printers–VPS

Users can print output from Titan to a local networked printer using the VPS printing service.
