Frontier Manager : Overview

Frontier Manager

Features

Enhance the productivity of Fujifilm's Frontier Digital Minilabs by adding the Frontier Manager. With Frontier Manager, film and digital processing orders can be managed simultaneously in a totally seamless, efficient workflow.

Fujifilm's Frontier Manager is comprised of a new hardware controller and software. It is installed between your current scanner and printer, making your scanner into another input device while freeing your printer to focus on printing.

This revolutionary configuration change transforms the scanner into a standalone input station to the Frontier Minilab printer allowing operators to scan film continuously into the Frontier Manager print queue.

The print queue can concurrently accept orders from your film scanner, Frontier PIC, Aladdin Digital Photo Center kiosk or Get The Picture Online Internet site, automatically prioritizing printing by due times.

Frontier Manager software includes an intuitive iconic graphical user interface that intelligently keeps operators on track to deliver jobs on time through notifications of printer status and required paper changes.

Frontier Manager is currently compatible with the Frontier 350, 370 and 390 configurations. Other Frontier models will be supported in the future.
