l
FTP Output service: Places output jobs on a server via the FTP protocol.
l
LPR (Line Printer Requester) Output service: Sends jobs to an LPD server or LPD
compatible printers. The LPD/LPR printing protocol is a common way to send print jobs
that, in turn, use the TCP/IP protocol to communicate through the network.
l
PReS Image: Outputs jobs as PDF files or in a variety of image formats. You can also use
PReS Image to archive and/or email the files it creates. You can use PReS Search to
search the PDF files PReS Image creates. You can install multiple instances of the PReS
Image service on your network, and have PReS Workflow send jobs to one or more of
these instances. Each instance of PReS Image can generate PDFs or images and
dispatch them from the host on which it runs. See "About PReS Image" on page553.
l
PReS Fax: Outputs jobs as faxes. You use PReS Fax as an interface to WinFax PRO or
Windows Fax, to send faxes you create from documents. You can install multiple
instances of the PReS Fax service on your network, and have PReS Workflow send jobs
to one or more of these instances. Each instance of PReS Fax can generate faxes and
dispatch them from the host on which it runs, using a local faxing program, such as
WinFax PRO, Captaris RightFax or Windows Fax. See "About PReS Fax" on page552.
l
PrintShop Mail: Used to generate documents using PrintShop Mail databases and
documents. Communicate with it through the PrintShop Mail and PrintShop Mail 7
Connector Tasks. See "PrintShop Mail" on page392.
l
Laserfiche: Used as a repository for electronic documents. Communicate with it through
the Laserfiche Repository Output Task. See "Laserfiche Repository Output" on page364.
l
PlanetPress Capture: Used to generate and process files using Anoto patterns.
Communicate with it through the PlanetPress Capture tasks such as the Anoto Ink
Processor and the Anoto Pattern plugins.
Start and stop PReS Workflow Service
As with most Windows services, PReS Workflow can be started and stopped automatically
when a Windows session is opened and closed. The other option is to start, stop or pause
PReS Workflow manually using the PReS Workflow Configuration program.
Note
The current PReS Workflow status is always displayed in the lower-right corner of the
PReS Workflow Configuration program window.
