l Use Windows NT Integrated security: Select to use your Windows user name and
password to log onto the SQL database.
l User ID: Enter the user id required to access the database to which you are adding new
PDI files from the generated PDF files. If you are using an SQL database, enter the login
name you chose when you configured the SQL database (refer to the “Using
PReSSearch with an SQL Server Database” section of the PReS Search User Guide).
l Password: Enter the password required to access the database.
l Test Connection: Click to verify that PReSImage can connect to the specified database.
l Enforce global table creation: Select this option, as it ensures that all database users
are granted access to the database. This option is available only when you select SQL
database in the Database type box.
Download to Printer
Download to Printer action tasks are used to warn printers that the files that will be sent to
them are to be stored to a specific location rather than printed. Note that each Download to
Printer action task must be followed by a Printer Queue output task set to "pass-through", in
order for it to be sent to the printer and not merged with a document.
You can use Download to Printer action tasks to send various types of files, such as
attachments, documents and fonts that are used in PlanetPress Design documents that are
executed directly on the printers.
For images you should rather use Send Images to Printer action tasks (See "Send Images to
Printer" on page339), as they provide image quality and conversion options.
Input
Any file that you wish to upload to the printer. Note that this task does not attempt to verify that
the type of file being sent is compatible with the printer, or is in a supported file format.
Processing
The currently active data file is converted into postscript.
Output
A postscript file containing the necessary code to save the data file on the hard drive.
