Windows Print Converter
The Windows Print Converter action tasks are designed to convert Windows print files into
Line Printer files, that can then be used in a variety of other PReS Workflow tasks. Typically,
Windows Print Converter action tasks are located below WinQueue input tasks (note that the
latter include options specific to Windows Print Converter action tasks).
The full conversion process is performed in two phases:
l The Windows print file is first converted into an XML file in which each printable character
appears with its horizontal and vertical coordinates.
l The XML file is then converted into a standard Line Printer file.
Note
Although it is more common to perform both phases in a single pass, each phase can be
performed selectively, as required.
Input
A print job in EMF format, generally captured from a WinQueue input task.
Processing
The EMF job is converted into a text-only, "Line printer emulation" on page66 data file.
Output
A Line Printer file. Metadata, Job Info variables and other variables are not changed.
