l Create a matching Printer Queue in Workflow (see "PReS Workflow printer queues"
below).
l Associate the document with that Printer Queue (see "Associating PlanetPress Design
documents and PReS printer queues" on page113).
Printer-centric printing
Alternatively the merging of the document and data can take place inside a printer (if the printer
is suitable for it). In that case, PReS Workflow sends one of two things to a printer:
l A file that contains only the data to the selected Printer Queue. The document with which
the data must be merged must be present on the printer’s hard disk, otherwise printing will
fail.
l A file that contains the data and the document to the selected Printer Queue. Since the
data and the document with which it must be merged are both sent to the printer, printing
should never fail.
PReS Workflow printer queues
The printer queues displayed in the Configuration Components pane of the PReS Workflow
Configuration program are not to be confused with Windows printer queues. When you start
building a PReS Workflow configuration it contains no printer queues. If you want Workflow to
dispatch spool files to printer queues, you have to create queues in Workflow and set each
one’s properties.
Printer Queue types
The PReS Workflow Configuration program lets you create four types of printer queues:
l Windows Output printer queues are used to send print jobs to local or network printers.
See "Windows Output printer queue" on page108.
l LPR Output printer queues are used to send print jobs to printers via the LPR/LPD
protocol. See "LPR Output Printer Queue" on page109.
l FTP Output printer queues are typically used to send print jobs to FTP sites. See "FTP
Output Printer Queue" on page110.
l Send to Folder printer queues are typically used to send print jobs to local or network
folders. See "Send to Folder printer queue" on page112.
