The JetPCL product line is continually maintained and upgraded to keep pace with the everchanging document imaging industry, and as new functionality becomes available. Below is a list of recent major and minor releases of JetPCL, including version changes.
JetPCL integrated into new release of Millennial Vision Inc.'s DCS v2.4
MVi's enhanced DCS v2.4 provides financial institutions with faster, more streamlined loan processing, and the ability to have electronic document images appear exactly as they would when printed on a HP LaserJet (PCL) printer.
SALT LAKE CITY - May 21, 2009 - Millennial Vision Inc. (MVi), a national reseller of Laserfiche document management solutions and provider of paperless technologies to financial institutions, released the latest version of its Document Capture System (DCS) v2.4-a solution allowing users to capture print documents electronically and become paperless.
MVi's newest version of DCS allows users to digitally capture their documents-including Membership Cards, Loan Documents and most other Windows or Unix PCL printable documents, add electronic signatures and other required annotations, and automatically store them into their document management archival system, creating a seamless process for the user.
MVi's DCS product also provides financial institutions with remote signature capability between branch offices so the loan process can be completed faster, helping reduce the account holder's wait time.
DCS v2.4 is significant because MVi has partnered with Tech Know Systems - a leading provider of PCL (Printer Control Language) emulation software for the electronic document delivery industry - to integrate its JetPCL® technology into DCS v2.4.
The JetPCL component enhances MVi's DCS product by automatically handling the PCL conversion, providing the user with a straight-through-process. DCS v2.4 now has greater processing capabilities, including improved accuracy, higher-quality images, and faster speed.
The enhanced accuracy of DCS v2.4 is important to financial institutions that require loan and other pertinent documents to appear exactly as they would when printed on an HP LaserJet (PCL) printer.
"Our goal is to provide financial institutions with the best products possible," says Bill Poulter, President of MVi. "We feel that our DCS v2.4 release provides users with greater capabilities, allowing them to streamline their processes and become more efficient. We look forward to our new partnership with Tech Know Systems and feel that their JetPCL technology has played an important role in helping us improve our DCS product."

New .NET Managed Code API
Tech Know Systems, Inc. announces their new "JetPCL .NET Managed Code API" which is described as a JetPCL DLL API for easy integration with Microsoft .NET
Framework Managed Code applications. This new API allows JetPCL to be used with
any .NET programming language, including Visual C# and Visual Basic. Although the JetPCL DLL format is a native Windows compilation, the managed code interface provides an easy to use API for integrating the stable, field tested, JetPCL object code
that has been in use since the early 1990s. Within the .NET Framework platform the JetPCL Win32 DLL is considered unmanaged code, just like all of the standard Windows
system DLLs. Like these DLLs the JetPCL DLL is a standard C language DLL. This approach was chosen to provide the fastest and most efficient product for developers and yet make it easy to integrate. A complete technical description of the JetPCL for .NET API with some simple examples of how to use the API from the Visual Basic and Visual C# languages is available to Software Developers. Contact Tech Know Systems for more details.
Support for Windows Win64 Platforms
Tech Know Systems, Inc. announces new support for Windows Win64 platforms. JetPCL DLL and EXE formats included with the "JetPCL Enterprise Server", "JetPCL Service Provider", and "JetPCL Software Developer" products are now available in Win64 formats for use on Windows x64 platforms. There is also a new "JetPCL .NET Managed Code API" for Win64 platforms too. Other JetPCL products are expected to support Win64 later this year. The current JetPCL for Win32 release is known to work fine on Win64 platforms, however customer of these JetPCL products that would like to start running JetPCL for Win64 should contact Tech Know Systems for more detail. Initial testing has shown a 10-20 increase in processing speed in using Win64 on a Win64 platform over using Win32 on a Win64 platform.
