Print Manager
The Print Manager must be used when generating output for IPDS printers, but can also be
used in conjunction with PCL and PostScript outputs.
IPDS printing requires a print stream and PrintShop Mail Connect only produce files, thus this
intermediary Print Manager is necessary to communicate to IPDS printers. It feeds the
IPDSoutput to the printer, as a print stream, rather than as a file.
Neither PCL nor PostScript printers require a print stream, so such output files can be sent
directly to a printer, from within Connect. You could use the Print Manager application,
however, to extra print management functionality, such as organizing job priorities and job
queues.

The Connect Print Manager Interface is broken up into multiple tabs. These can be re-
organised and moved as desired, but appear by default as in the following image.
