2022.1

l The version supported: PrintShop Mail only supports 6.1 documents, while PrintShop
Mail 7 supports 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2 documents.
l PrintShop Mail 7 can output PDF/VT and PPML/VDX.
Limitations
In order for the PrintShop Mail tasks to be functional, some pre-requisites must be met:
l PrintShop Mail version 6.1 or higher must be installed on the same system, and an
activated PrintShop Mail production dongle must be plugged in to the system.
l You must have at least one printer using a PostScript driver on your system in order to
produce PDF output. It is highly recommended that a PostScript printer be set as the
default system printer in order to act as a fallback if the selected printer is unreachable.
l
PReS Workflow Service must be configured with a user name and password that have
access to the required printer(s). The Local System Account setting will not work.
Input
A data file compatible with a PrintShop Mail Document. Metadata is ignored by this task.
Processing
The data file is merged with the selected PrintShop Mail Design document, producing the
number of records selected in the task properties. This merging uses the PrintShop Mail engine
(PSMail.exe) to generate the output.
Output
The output produced by this task is dependent on the options selected: it can be PDF, a
Windows EMF print job, a PostScript print job or a JPG file. PrintShop Mail 7 can also output
PDF/VT and PPML/VDX.
Note that the Preflight output type doesn't actually produce printable or viewable output. The
Preflight option does a cursory verification of the job and will generate an XML file that contains
a list of all warnings and errors.
