MarkMagic Enterprise 6.1 - Mod Level 081219
IBM Power Systems iOS V5R4New features to MarkMagic 6 include:
- New MRKMAG60 library. One of the reasons MarkMagic 6 can coexist with older MarkMagic versions is because a unique name is given to the core MarkMagic library for each new version Note: MarkMagic version 4.1 and older use: MRKMAG and MRKMAG 5 uses MRKMAG50.
- New Print Manager Add-On Option: This “rules based” option allows users to define extremely complex print, fax, and
email jobs with no programming. (Please see Section 5 for more details on this powerful option) - Native System i FAX support added to PDF/Email Option. Any format designed using the MarkMagic HPPCL5, HPLJ4P, or AFPDS printer device types can now be faxed directly from the System i without format modification. This option requires IBM Facsimile Support for System i (licensed program: 5798FAX) to be installed and functional with an enhanced services fax user profile enabled. (Please see Section 5 for more details and prerequisites)
- New RFID Field Type. MarkMagic 6 introduces a new field type “RFID” to meet your dynamic RFID tag requirements.
The RFID field type supports various tag encoding schemes, tag types, password locking, user data, and can optionally convert System i data to HEX. - New Field Usage Definition: Any variable field can have a “usage” defined as part of the field. This new feature is used mostly with RFID data and to interface with CYBRA’s native System i RFID Control Solution, EdgeMagic.

Officer (SECOFR) authority is required to utilize this menu. - Sequence Numbers allow you to predefine *SEQ numbers which can be used in MarkMagic formats. MarkMagic
