Virtual Drive Manager
When you use the "Send Images to Printer" on page461 Action task 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 Suite applications) of any computer included in your network. You
need to do this, for instance, if you plan to run PlanetPress Suite 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 page441.
l Send one or more images to the printer: see "Send Images to Printer" on page461.
l Use PlanetPress Design: see the PlanetPress Design User Guide.
To delete images from your virtual drive:
1.
In the PlanetPress Workflow Ribbon, go to the Tools tab, then click on Virtual Drive
Manager.
The Virtual Drive Manager dialog box is displayed. It lists all the images currently stored
in your computer’s virtual drive.
2. Select the images you want to delete.
3.
Press the Delete key.
Workflow Services
To be able to run and to have access to local files as well as to files available on other
computers in your network, PlanetPress Workflow applications and services must identify
themselves using a local or network account.
The first time you start the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program, the application
automatically asks you to choose an account (see below).
You can also manually start this procedure from the PlanetPress Workflow Tools by following
this procedure: click on the Tools tab in PlanetPress Workflow Ribbon, then click Configure
Services.
