Processing &Output
Multiple things can happen, depending on the options chosen and the type of data this task
receives:
l
If the data file and a document are selected, and Printer Centricmode is used, the data
file is sent to the PReS Image host which merges the data and document to produce
output.
l
If the data file and a document are selected, and Optimized PostScript Streammode is
used, the data file is merged with the document and the resulting OPSjob is sent to the
PReS Image host to produce output.
l If the data file is a postscript file and either mode is used, the postscript file is sent to the
PReS Image host which generates output (since this is already Optimized PostScript, it is
not regenerated).

l
Host: Select the IP address of the PReS Image host to which you want the request to be
sent.
l
Refresh: Click to update the list of IP addresses displayed in the Host drop-down list box.
l
Documents: Select a specific PlanetPress Design document if you want all the jobs to be
generated with that document. To use a document chosen at run-time for each job, enter a
dynamic document name using a combination of text, variables and data selections. To
enable the dynamic document name box, click inside it. To disable it, press Enter. Note
that in the later case, you must be certain that the documents that will be chosen at run-
time will in fact be available locally or at the selected host.
Note
While the Do not use a document (passthrough)is visible in this list, it is not
compatible with the PReS Image output if the PostScript was not generated by
merging a design document with data in PReS Workflow. In order to generate an
image in passthrough mode with external PostScript, please use the Digital Action
