can be generated either with the use of "Add document" on page668, or a printer queue
using a "Send to Folder printer queue" on page118. Postscript generated using any other
way will fail, as PReS Image requires knowledge of the number of pages in the
document, which is not available in output generated using any other means. Note
however that "Digital Action" on page403 does have the ability, in most cases, to
generate output using third-party PostScript files.
Processing & Output
Multiple things can happen, depending on the options chosen and the type of data this task
receives:
l
If the data file and a document are selected, and Printer Centric mode is used, the data
file is sent to the PReS Image host which merges the data and document to produce
output.
l
If the data file and a document are selected, and Optimized PostScript Stream mode is
used, the data file is merged with the document and the resulting OPS job is sent to the
PReS Image host to produce output.
l If the data file is a postscript file and either mode is used, the postscript file is sent to the
PReS Image host which generates output (since this is already Optimized PostScript, it is
not regenerated).
