l LPR (Line Printer Requester) Output service: Sends jobs to an LPD server or LPD
compatible printers. The LPD/LPR printing protocol is a common way to send print jobs
that, in turn, use the TCP/IP protocol to communicate through the network.
l
PReS Image: Outputs jobs as PDF files or in a variety of image formats. You can also use
PReS Image to archive and/or email the files it creates. You can use PReS Search to
search the PDF files PReS Image creates. You can install multiple instances of the PReS
Image service on your network, and have PReS Workflowsend jobs to one or more of
these instances. Each instance of PReS Image can generate PDFs or images and
dispatch them from the host on which it runs. See About Image.
l
PReS Fax: Outputs jobs as faxes. You use PReS Fax as an interface to WinFax PRO or
Windows Fax, to send faxes you create from documents. You can install multiple
instances of the PReS Fax service on your network, and have PReS Workflowsend jobs
to one or more of these instances. Each instance of PReS Fax can generate faxes and
dispatch them from the host on which it runs, using a local faxing program, such as
WinFax PRO, Captaris RightFax or Windows Fax. See About Fax.
l PrintShop Mail:Used to generate documents using PrintShop Mail databases and
documents. Communicate with it through the PrintShop Mail and PrintShop Mail 7
Connector Tasks. See PrintShop Mail.
l Laserfiche:Used as a repository for electronic documents. Communicate with it through
the Laserfiche Repository Output Task. See "Laserfiche Repository Output" on page411.
l PlanetPress Capture:Used to generate and process files using Anoto patterns.
Communicate with it through the PlanetPress Capture tasks such as the Anoto Ink
Processor and the Anoto Pattern plugins.
Services must use an account to be granted the permission to use the system’s resources and
objects. This information is included in the service's configuration and most services use the
Local System Account, which is granted access to all the system’s resources. All input and
output services used by PReS Workflow run under the same account. For more information on
services and system permissions, refer to Windows documentation. For more information on
how to configure the account used by the services, See "Workflow Services" on page649.
The PReS Workflow Service Console, included in the PReS Workflow Workflow Tools
Configuration program, can be used to monitor, start and stop PReS Workflow services (See
Users and Configurations and "The PReS Workflow Service Console" on page666).
