By default, Connect initially displays just a single generic PDF output option, to keep the
interface clean. But other print output types can be added to the Printer Model drop-down
list at any time via the Import Definitions button
The Import Definitions options are:
l
Import Definition: Used to add any customized or tailored Printer Definition that
Objectif Lune Inc. has prepared for you, specific to your printer.
l
Create Definition from PPD: Used to create your own customized PostScript
Printer Model through the printer manufacturer provided PostScript Printer Definition
(PPD) file. This option launches the "Dynamic PPD Options" on page1270 page
later in the PrinterWizard, which allows you to setup the printer.
l
Edit available printers: Add extra Printer Definitions from the selection that
come installed with Connect.
l
Export printer definition from output preset: Use to extract a Printer
Definition from a new or modified Printer Model. This option is only available when
the Printer Model currently loaded differs from those previously saved or installed.
For more information on how to add Printer Definitions to Connect, see "Adding print
output Models to the Print Wizard" on page1483.
Output options
l Output Local:Select to have the output created using the local Print Server, instead of
the Connect Server (see "The Connect server" on page129 for an explanation).
l Output Type choices:
l Prompt for file name: Select to output to a local file on the hard drive. When this
option is selected, no other configuration is necessary. A Save As dialog will appear
to allow selection of the folder and file name.
l Directory: Select to output to a local folder on the machine.
Selecting this will open the Directory Options sub-group, which has these options:
l Job Output Mask: The name of the file that will output.
You could write the Job Output Mask directly into this edit box (for a list of
available variables see "Print output variables" on page1486), or you could
create a Mask via the Options button. This opens the custom dialog: Job
Output Mask Dialog.
The Job Output Mask may contain (dynamic) folder names, for example:
${document.metadata['Country']}\${template}.
The evaluated value of the Job Output Mask is taken as a path relative to the
