tasks (see "Download to Printer" on page 241), but they include image specific options. Furthermore, they
can be used to send images not only to printers, but also to the virtual drive of other computers running
PlanetPress Workflow applications. Note that each Sent Images to Printer action task must be followed by
a Printer Queue Output task set to "passthrough", in order for the images to be actually sent to that printer.
Note
Images sent to a printer are stored in the root folder of the printer’s hard disk, while images sent to the
virtual drive of another computer are stored in a sub-folder of the PlanetPress Workflow folder.
Input
Any image file that you wish to upload to the printer.
Processing
The currently active image data file converted to postscript. The image's resolution, scan orientation, and
quality can be modified, depending on the selected option. All files are converted into PostScript format for
storage on the printer.If a virtual drive, the file is automatically sent to it.
Output
A postscript file containing the necessary code to save the data file on the hard drive.

l Scan orientation: Select Side to side for images that will be printed in their original orientation on a
portrait oriented page, or in a rotated orientation on a landscape page. Select Top to bottom for images
that will be printed in a rotated orientation on a portrait oriented page, or in a rotated orientation on a
portrait oriented page. Note that images that are meant to be printed in various ways can be stored
twice on the printer as two identical copies of the same file that bear different names (Image_
Original.tif and Image_Rotated.tif, for example). The first copy can be processed using a Send Images
to Printer action task with the scan orientation set to Side to side, the second one with a different
Send Images to Printer action task with the scan orientation set to Top to bottom, each one typically
being included on two different branches of the same process.
l Color conversion: Select As is to keep the color information included in the images. Select Grayscale
to convert color images to gray scale.
