PrintShop Mail
Note: These plug-ins have been moved to the Legacy group.
Once you have imported PrintShop Mail documents to your PReS Workflow workstation (see "Import-
ing PrintShop Mail documents" on page46), you can use PrintShop Mail action tasks to output the job
file with a selected PrintShop Mail document. PrintShop Mail action tasks let you print as well as gen-
erate PostScript or PDF files. The PrintShop Mail and PrintShop Mail 7 action tasks are essentially
the same. The only differences are:
l
The version supported: PrintShop Mail only supports 6.1 documents, while PrintShop Mail 7 sup-
ports 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
