Virtual Drive Manager
When you use the Send images to printer action in a given process, you have the option of, at
the same time, sending the images to the virtual drive (a local storage folder used by
PlanetPress Workflow applications) of any computer included in your network. You need to do
this, for instance, if you plan to run documents that contain dynamic images on those computers
(using the Optimized PostScript Stream option). You can then use the Virtual Drive Manager to
see the images that were downloaded to your computer as well as to delete them from your
virtual drive.
To add images to the virtual drive, use either of the following methods:
l Send a single resource file to the printer:see "Download to Printer" on page293.
l Send one or more images to the printer:see "Send Images to Printer" on page309.
l Use PlanetPress Design:see the PlanetPress Design User Guide.
