License mode
Each incoming print job is checked against the license to determine if it can be handled in
licensed mode or in unlicensed mode.
If OL Connect Send is unlicensed, the plugin stores the incoming job in the target folder using
the specified file name, but it does not save any information in the database. The end user will
receive a message in the Notification Area (also called "system tray") confirming the unlicensed
status, and the printer driver will not request another web page.
In licensed mode, the plugin will store all relevant information about each job in the OL
Connect Send database. This database is a HSQLDB and is installed automatically.
Subsequent Workflow processes can use the information in the database for additional
processing (see "Get Job Data" on pageξ493).
Whether OL Connect Send is licensed can be seen on the General tab of the properties dialog.
Timeout
During a job transfer from the OL Connect Send Printer Driver to Workflow, a timeout could
occur (indicated by a log entry like βERROR: sendBinaryContents: Could not open request.
Reason: 12002β). In this case, the timeout for the HTTP service in Workflow needs to be
increased. It is recommended to use a value of more than 10 minutes (>600 seconds).
Additionally, the timeout in the browser on the client side should be enhanced. Please see the
help pages for your browser about how to do this.
Security
In order to provide security when printing over the internet, OL Connect Send includes several
protective features.
HTTPS Communication
The OL Connect Send Printer Driver can be set to use HTTPS for any job transfer. To do this,
Workflow must also be set to use HTTPS.
Job Origin
Each print job will include unique information about the machine it has been sent from. This
unique machine ID is calculated with a proven method and will be transferred, encrypted and
enhanced. The enhancement will result in a different encrypted machine ID per print job, so that
