2019.1

Dynamic PPD Options
This page appears as part of the Advanced Print Wizard and the Output Preset Creation
Wizard.
The Dynamic PPD mode options page allows you to add PostScript printer capabilities to
Connect, through the printer's associated PostScript Printer Definition (PPD) file, and to assign
rules to them to trigger those capabilities in conjunction with Connect Templates.
Note
This Print Wizard page is intended for use only by those operators who are very familiar with their
PostScript printer's capabilities and the options available to them in the printer's associated PPD file.
A video example of how to set Dynamic PPD Options can be found here:Setting Dynamic PPD
Options within Connect - An example.
Note
As of OLConnect 2019.1 JobPatchFile sections in PPDs are automatically added to the output, if
the PPD includes them.
The Dynamic PPD mode Options page can be broken up as follows:
PPDInfo group
This shows information about the selected PostScript Printer Definition. The information box
contains general printer details (such as the model name) whilst the PPDfile name field
displays the name of the actual PPDfile that is loaded.
If the incorrect PPD was assigned to this Printer Model, the PPD file can be changed at this
point, via the Import PPD button .
This is not considered good practice, however. It would be better to return to the Printer Model
selection dialog and chose the correct Printer Model and PPDcombination there.
PostScript Options
PostScript specific options that are not catered for by the PPD.
