options, and use staple binding, for instance.
More importantly, the Override finishing options option allows you to make dynamic finishing
settings, and this not only on the Section level but also on the Document, Document Set and

If runtime parameters are defined in the Job Creation Preset, the passed information can be
used in conditions (see "Runtime Parameter Options" on page682).
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

print content items in the print job may have been filtered, sorted and grouped. 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 page985).
Select File > Print Presets > Output Creation Settings... to run the "Output Creation Presets
Wizard" on page696.
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 page700).
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
