Download to Printer
Download to Printer action tasks are used to warn printers that the files that will be sent to them are to be
stored to a specific location rather than printed. Note that each Download to Printer action task must be
followed by a Printer Queue output task set to "pass-through", in order for it to be sent to the printer and not
merged with a document.
You can use Download to Printer action tasks to send various types of files, such as attachments,
documents and fonts that are used in PlanetPress Connect documents that are executed directly on the
printers.
For images you should rather use Send Images to Printer action tasks (See "Send Images to Printer" on
page 259), as they provide image quality and conversion options.
Input
Any file that you wish to upload to the printer. Note that this task does not attempt to verify that the type of file
being sent is compatible with the printer, or is in a supported file format.
Processing
The currently active data file is converted into postscript.
