SmartPrinter takes the text print stream from ERP and legacy systems and turns it into designed forms on modern laser printers, PDF archives or email - without changing the original application.
SmartPrinter is the SPS print-stream engine for text-based and legacy systems. It receives the print data an application already sends – IBM Proprinter, Epson or Prescribe emulations – applies your rules, and produces designed output for modern PCL laser printers, email or the archive as PDF/TIFF. It is part of the Winsert family: Winsert connects documents and data to any ERP, while SmartPrinter focuses on modernizing what text-based systems print.
Choose SmartPrinter when a legacy or text-based application prints through an old emulation and you need designed forms, logos, checks or PDF copies - without touching the application.
Choose Winsert when documents and data arriving by print, folder, email, SFTP or API need business rules and delivery into the ERP, CRM or archive.
Legacy systems keep running as they are, while what they print looks and works like a modern document - with no application rewrite and no paper forms to keep in stock.
SmartPrinter simulates a printer: LPD/LPR, RAW (port 9100 or another) or a shared printer.
Commands are translated (for example Epson to PCL), logos are added and trays are changed - by a pre-defined set of rules.
The new print file goes to the physical printer - or by email, or to the archive as PDF/TIFF.
Which applications print what, to which printers - and what each document should look like.
Layouts, logos, fonts and fields are designed from a sample of the current print file.
One document type runs through SmartPrinter side by side with the current output.

SmartPrinter is SPS print-stream software that converts print data from ERP and legacy systems for modern laser printers and designs the output – without changing the original application.
SmartPrinter is part of the Winsert family. It specializes in text-based print streams from legacy systems, while Winsert is the broader integration hub that captures documents and data and connects them to the ERP.
Any application that prints text through an emulation such as IBM Proprinter, Epson or Prescribe – for example legacy ERPs on IBM AS/400 – sending over LPD/LPR, RAW (port 9100) or a shared printer.
No. SmartPrinter receives the existing print stream and transforms it, so the original application stays as it is.
Yes. It prints complete checks on blank paper with MICR toner, including the magnetic line, logos and check design.
To a physical printer, by email, or to the archive as PDF or TIFF.
