Main steps in OL Connect Send
The main steps in the functioning of OL Connect Send are:
1.
A user prints a document to a printer using the OL Connect Send Printer Driver.
2. The resulting print job is captured by the printer driver code, zipped up, and, if applicable,
split into multiple chunks.
3.
The chunks are transferred to the Workflow process and received by the Job Processor
plugin (see "Job Processor plugin" on page49).
4. The plugin communicates with the printer driver to ensure that all data has been received
correctly.
5. The plugin combines all the chunks into a .7z file and then unpacks it to the original print
job. This is a Postscript file.
6. The plugin stores the print job at a specified location with a specified name.
7.
The plugin creates a Workflow metadata file for the print job, containing basic job
information (See License Modes – Basic Mode, below).
8. The plugin (if licensed) stores all job related info in a database.
