Send Images to Printer
The Send Images to Printer Action task is used to send images to a printer so they can be
used as resources by PlanetPress Suite (Design) documents run on the printer. It is
comparable to the Download to Printer Action task (see "Download to Printer" on page293),
but includes image specific options. Furthermore, this task can be used to send images not only
to printers, but also to the virtual drive of other computers running PlanetPress Workflow
applications. Note that each Sent Images to Printer Action task must be followed by a Printer
Queue Output task set to "passthrough", in order for the images to be actually sent to that
printer.
Note
Images sent to a printer are stored in the root folder of the printer’s hard disk, while
images sent to the virtual drive of another computer are stored in a sub-folder of the
PlanetPress Workflow folder.
Input
Any image file that you wish to upload to the printer.
Processing
The currently active image data file converted to PostScript. The image's resolution, scan
orientation, and quality can be modified, depending on the selected option. All files are
converted into PostScript format for storage on the printer.If a virtual drive, the file is
automatically sent to it.
Output
A postscript file containing the necessary code to save the data file on the hard drive.
