If runtime parameters are defined in the Job Creation Preset, the passed information can be
used in conditions (see "Runtime Parameter Options" on page662).
Output Creation Presets
An Output Creation Preset is a file that defines the printer model and output type, and all
desired print options and printer settings. It is used by the Weaver engine (see "Connect: a
peek under the hood" on page102), which generates the final print output file (or files).
The input of the Weaver engine is a print job, assembled by the Connect Server. The set of
print content items in the print job may have been filtered, sorted and grouped, and the server
may have added meta data and finishing settings to the job, according to the instructions in a
Job Creation Preset (see "Job Creation Presets" on page955).
Select File > Print Presets > Output Creation Settings... to run the "Output Creation Presets
Wizard" on page676.
Note
The Output Creation options are also available in the Advanced Printer Wizard, which
appears when you select File > Print (or Proof Print) and click the Advanced button.
However, the Advanced Printer Wizard cannot save your settings to file for re-use.
Printer model and output type
An Output Creation Preset specifies the type of printer the output should be suitable for, and
determines where that output should then be sent: to a folder, LPR queue or Windows printer
(see "Print options" on page680).
Printer definitions
A printer model and its capabilities for Connect are defined in a printer model definition file
(.OL-printerdef). Connect comes with a number of such files. However, there are so many
different printer models with their own settings and capabilities that it is simply impossible to
provide definition files for all of them.
If there is no definition file for your PostScript printer you may create a customized printer
definition file yourself using the PostScript Printer Definition (PPD) file provided by the printer
manufacturer (see "Dynamic PPD Options" on page767).
Other customized Printer Definitions can be obtained from Objectif Lune Support. They need to
