Printing Methods
Some methods for printing with the CX print server:
Submit the job to one of the CX print server virtual printers. The
●
job is spooled and then processed or printed (according to the
selected job flow of the virtual printer). If you use this method,
you can print from any software—for example, Microsoft Word—
and use any file format from any Windows and Apple Mac
Drag the job to a hot folder. The job is spooled and processed or
●
printed (according to the selected job flow of the corresponding
virtual printer). If you use the hot folder method, you can print
most PDL files—for example, PostScript, PDF, EPS, Variable
Print Specification, and PPML.
Network printers
To print your file using a CX print server virtual printer, you first
need install the virtual printer as a network printer on your computer.
After you install a network printer on your computer, you will be
able to submit files for printing. The network printers are installed
by default with the Print Driver software. You can change the
default settings of the network printer to use the PPD parameters
instead of the Print Driver software.
The CX print server supports printing from the following operating
systems:
Mac OS X
●
Windows 2000, Windows XP, Microsoft Windows Vista
●
Microsoft Windows Server
The CX print server provides default network printers, referred to
here as virtual printers.
A virtual printer contains preset workflows that are automatically
applied to all print jobs processed with that virtual printer. The
default virtual printers are published on the network with specific
parameters set for processing and printing.
