Note
It is heavily recommended that this setting be left as ‘Auto’, as PReSClassic
licenses being assigned to different PRNx instances is extremely rare.
l
Time-out: The time in seconds that the Connect Workflow waits for a response from the
PReS Print Control to make sure it is running. If Connect Workflow does not receive a
response in the allotted time it will terminate the Print Control and continue to the next
step in the workflow.
PrintShop Mail
Once you have imported PrintShop Mail documents (see " Import Documents" on page53) to
your PReS Workflow workstation, 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
generate PostScript or PDF files. The PrintShop Mail and PrintShop Mail 7 action tasks are
essentially the same except for the version supported:PrintShop Mail only supports 6.1
documents, while PrintShop Mail 7 supports 7.0 and 7.1 documents.
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 fall back 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.
