OL Connect Send
Connect Send allows for PostScript files to be received over the internet from any Windows
Desktop application. It is in fact an application with two components. The first is a Windows
printer driver while the other is a group of Workflow plugins (Job Processor, Get Job Data and
Get Data). These two components work together indiscriminately, each needing the other to
function.
Connect Send can be used in unlicensed mode and licensed mode.
The Unlicensed mode (default) allows users to push documents to Connect Send. They will
receive a pop-up message in the Notification Area confirming whether the job was received or
not.
The Licensed mode causes the Connect Send Printer Driver to request a web page that will
be displayed in the user’s browser in order to allow them to enter job specific information. The
information from this web page can be used to tell Workflow what to do next.
Workflow processes in Connect Send
For help on the configuration of Workflow processes in a Connect Send solution, see
"Workflow processes in a Connect Send solution" on page296.

Get Data
The Get Data plugin allows OL Connect Send users (admins, accounting personnel, print
masters ...) to get information about all jobs received with OL Connect Send on a dedicated
machine. It allows queries of the OL Connect Send Database to be made for the production of
reports.
All job info that could be retrieved will be written to a temporary results file that is then passed
on as the new Workflow job file. It can be used right after the Get Job data plugin in the same
Workflow configuration. It could for example be saved using a Send to Folder plugin.
