by the number of speed units, only applies to the Weaver engine; when creating Email , the
limit applies to the Merge engines only (the Weaver engine is not involved). So, when
generating Print output, multiple Merge engines can be used. The number of Merge engines is
only limited to one when creating Email output.
Each Merge engine and each Weaver engine needs at least one speed unit. However, since
the number of engines is configurable, and since small, medium and large jobs may run
concurrently, the number of engines in use may not match the number of available speed units.
When there are more speed units than there are engines in use, the Connect server distributes
the speed units and the maximum output speed to the engines proportionally.
For advice on engine settings, see "Engine configuration" on page26.
Connect file types
This article describes the different file types that are related to PrintShop Mail Connect and its
different modules. These are files that are generally transferable between machines, can be
sent via email or other means.
l
.OL-template: A Designer Template file (see "Templates" on page102). Is linked to a
data mapping configuration by default, but not necessarily.
l
.OL-datamodel: A data model file which can be imported or exported into either a data
mapping configuration or a template. Contains a list of fields and their data type (date,
currency, string, etc). See The Data Model.
l
Print Presets are used when generating a job, ready for output, from Designer (see
"Generating Print output" on page857) or through Workflow (see Print processes with OL
Connect tasks).
l
.OL-jobpreset: A Job Creation Preset file has settings for data filtering and sorting,
grouping (groups are used to split the print output), adding metadata fields, and
finishing options that override the template's Media and Section settings. (See "Job
Creation Presets" on page632.)
l
.OL-outputpreset: An Output Creation Preset file is used to generate the actual
print output in the appropriate format (pcl, afp, pcl, ipds, pdf, etc). It includes print
settings such as impositioning (N-up, cut & stack), inserter marks, tray settings,
separation etc. (See "Output Creation Presets" on page645.)
