If the data file and a document are selected, and Printer Centric mode is used, the data file is
sent to the PlanetPress Image host which merges the data and document to produce output.

If the data file and a document are selected, and Optimized PostScript Stream mode is used,
the data file is merged with the document and the resulting OPS job is sent to the PlanetPress
Image host to produce output.

etPress Image host which generates output (since this is already Optimized PostScript, it is not
regenerated).
