The NIH Data Center offers several printing options. Output from Titan can be listed at the central facility or at a local networked printer, conveniently located in the user's office.
Helix users can send output to the NIH Data Center central printers using the helix print370 command.
Titan Printing at the Central Facility
Titan printing options include high-speed laser printing on continuous forms, cut-sheet laser printing, and slower impact printing services.
Laser Printers
- The standard printing service produces high quality output on laser printers, at approximately 229 pages per minute, on continuous forms. This service is provided on the 3900 high-speed laser printing subsystem.
- The cut-sheet printing service offers high quality single-sided or double-sided (duplex) printing on cut sheet paper in landscape or portrait mode. In addition, 3-hole punched paper available. This service is provided on the 2105ES laser printing subsystem.
Impact Printers
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.
For More Information
Refer to the Titan Batch Processing manual and the Titan User's Guide for instructions on using Titan printing services.

Local Networked Printers–VPS
