Limitations
In order for PReS Print Control tasks to be functional, some pre-requisites must first be met:
l PReS Classic 6.3.0 or higher must be installed on the same system.
l A valid PReS Classic license (either dongle or software based) must be available on the
same system.
Note
All PReS Classic licenses are issued and controlled by the PReS License Server
and not Connect. Thus a separate PReS Classic license is required.
Input
A PReS Classic job and the resources it needs.
These resources include the data file to run against the job, plus any graphic or font resources
the jobs needs, along with any required PReS Classic specific resources, such as TRF or PDI
files.
Processing
The selected data file is merged with the selected PReS Classic job to create a print output
stream.
If the PReS Classic job selected is an uncompiled PReS Classic script (PDS), it will first be
compiled on the fly and then run using the selected data file.
If the PReS Classic job selected is a pre-compiled PReS job (PDC) file, then the pre-compiled
job will run with the selected data file.
Output
The available output print stream options are AFPDS, GOPReS (Graphic Output), IJPDS, PCL,
PDF and PostScript (PS) outputs.
