Virtual Drive Manager
When you use the Send images to printer action in a given process, you have the option of, at the same
time, sending the images to the virtual drive (a local storage folder used by PReS Workflow applications) of
any computer included in your network. You need to do this, for instance, if you plan to run documents that
contain dynamic images on those computers (using the Optimized PostScript Stream option). You can then
use the Virtual Drive Manager to see the images that were downloaded to your computer as well as to
delete them from your virtual drive.
To add images to the virtual drive, use either of the following methods:
l Send a single resource file to the printer:see "Download to Printer" on page281.
l Send one or more images to the printer:see "Send Images to Printer" on page305.
l Use PlanetPress Design:see the PlanetPress Design User Guide.
To delete images from your virtual drive:
1.
In the PReS Workflow Ribbon, Go to the Tools tab, then click on Virtual Drive Manager.
The Virtual Drive Manager dialog box is displayed. It lists all the images currently stored in your
computer’s virtual drive.
2. Select the images you want to delete.
3.
Press the Delete key.
