An example of the trigger for a document named FORMLETTER that resides in the printer’s RAM:
%!PS-Adobe <CR><LF>
FORMLETTER <CR><LF>
Trigger Syntax for Documents Installed in Flash Memory
The general syntax of a trigger for a document that resides in the printer’s Flash memory is:
[ printer-specific_commands ] %!PS-Adobe <CR><LF>
(%flash%name_of_document) run name_of_document <CR><LF>
An example of the trigger for a document named PAYROLL that resides in the printer’s Flash memory:
%!PS-Adobe <CR><LF>
(%flash%PAYROLL) run PAYROLL <CR><LF>
Note that using this syntax on some printers that have only Flash memory (no hard disk) may return an error messages say-
ing that the file or the Flash device cannot be found. This can usually be fixed by using the trigger syntax for documents
installed on the printer’s hard disk (see above). With these types of printers, the syntax for documents that reside in the prin-
ter’s Flash memory must only be used if the printer has both a hard disk and Flash memory.
Run a Document Installed on a Printer
If you installed your document directly on a printer, you print it by sending a trigger to the printer followed by the input data.
The Trigger and Data Capture Guide provides platform-specific procedures for creating the appropriate trigger and
inserting it at the head of the data stream you send to the printer.
Most PostScript printers also support Printer Control Language (PCL). For this reason, you should configure your printer to
detect the language of the incoming job and automatically switch to the appropriate language. This is particularly important in
environments where people send both PCL and PS jobs to the printer. Consult your printer manual for help configuring the
printer.
To run a document installed on a printer:
1. Create the trigger.
To create the trigger, you must know the operating system of the host on which the input data resides, and how that
host is connected to the printer (direct connection, serial line, print server).
You also need to determine the technique you intend to use to create the trigger and insert it at the head of the data
stream.
2. Send the trigger, followed by the input data, to the printer.

process.
To run a document in a PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tool:
1. Install the document into the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tool.
2. Create a PlanetPress Suite process to run your document.
