Printer model and output type
AnOutputCreationPresetspecifiesthetypeofprintertheoutputshouldbesuitablefor,anddeterm-
ineswherethatoutputshouldthenbesent:toafolder,LPRqueueorWindowsprinter(see"Print

Printer definitions
AprintermodelanditscapabilitiesforConnectaredefinedinaprintermodeldefinitionfile(.OL-prin-
terdef).Connectcomeswithanumberofsuchfiles.However,therearesomanydifferentprintermod-
els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704).
OthercustomizedPrinterDefinitionscanbeobtainedfromUplandOLSupport.Theyneedtobetailor-
madebasedontheinformationthatyouprovideaboutbothyourprinterandyourspecificneeds.
Certainprinterdefinitionfileswillworkwithseveraltypesofprinters(consecutiveversionsofacertain
printermodel,forexample).Notethatthoseprintersmaystillhavedifferentcapabilities.
WhencreatingorselectingPrintPresets,alwaysconsidertheactualcapabilitiesofyourspecific
printer.

forcut-sheetprinting.

ThevirtualstationeryinaPrinttemplate(alsocalled"Media"onpage144)isinfactanimagethatisnor-
mallyonlyvisibleintheDesignerinthebackgroundofthetemplatetomakedesigningatemplate
easier.
IfindicatedintheOutputCreationPreset,theimagewillalsobeprinted.Theoutputcanthenbeprinted
onplainpaperinsteadofpre-printedpaper.Printingvirtualstationeryisalsoveryusefulwhenpro-
