We have partnered with an international IT supplier to bring more flexible
output to the Meat Handler System. With our new Print Anything Anywhere
routines, all output which was traditionally sent to direct connected printer(s)
from our 'compatible list', can now be redirected to all 5 supported printer
ports, to any Windows compatible device. Thus you can send to ALL basic or
multi-function printers, fax output, email systems, remote IP printers,
wireless devices, as well as PDF output. If you can print to it from
Windows, you can print to it from the Meat Handler.

Microsoft Client for Netware has proven far superior to Novell in speed for the Meat
Handler when running multi-user. The exact reason why is not known, Novell
staff have been less that helpful in troubleshooting. The speed difference
is most obvious when using a 100mghz hub or a duplex switch, when loading of
program modules appears to be as much as 50 times faster with all other
variables unchanged. Caution: The Netware Client is required to be running
in any workstation that is using Nptwin95 for remote printer sharing, and is
required for all of Novell's net management software. Our suggestion is to
change over all other clients if you have issues with Novell's
speed.
The balance of this section is provided to new users and Meat Handler Clients with a paid Annual
Support Agreement.

updates to other supporting or supported software (HDM, Business Works, tape backup,
