  • Page 37: Installing Plug-Ins

    - The Barcode translation plug-in - The Encryption plug-in The Input Filter plug-in and the Encryption plug-in are part of PRISMAspool Base compo- nents while the PCL Barcode translation plug-in need a dedicated license. Plug-ins are binaries that can be executed at different spooling times depending of their configuration in the registry.
  • Page 38 Installing Plug-ins Installation The configuration of the Plug-ins is stored in the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OcePrintingSystems\Spooler\Plugins) during the PRISMAspool installation. This configuration defines which plug-ins will be executed at which spooling time. The different spooling times for Plug-ins are: • At the beginning of the submission of a job to the spooler (IF_PRE)
  • Page 39 Installation Installing Plug-ins The activated plug-ins are called in ascending order of their name, starting at name "0". Plug-ins processing ends after execution of plug-in "n" if no plug-in with name n+1 exists. Example This screen shows the IF_PRE Plug-ins configuration. At the beginning of the job submis- sion to the spooler, the Input Filter plug-in is executed before the PCL Barcode translation plug-in while the Encryption module is not executed.
  • Page 40 If the PCL Barcode translation component is installed at the same time as the PRIS- MAspool server, the PCL Barcode translation plug-in is defined and activated (name "1"). If the corresponding license is valid on PRISMAspool server, it will be executed after the Input Filter plug-in.

  • Page 41: Input Filter

    For details about Input Filters usage, refer to Input Filter configuration chapter (5.3.1). 4.3.1.1 Installation and activation After PRISMAspool installation, the input filter plug-in is defined and active in the IF_PRE plug-ins configuration. This component will however have effects only if some input filters have been configured.

  • Page 42: The Pcl Barcode Translator

    To install the Barcode Support plug in you have to select the "PCL Barcode Translation" check box in the "Select Components" dialog box during the PRISMAspool installation. If the PCL Barcode translation component is installed at the same time as the PRIS- MAspool server, the PCL Barcode plug-in is defined and activated (name 1) in the IF_PRE plug-ins configuration.

    The encryption of print data with the data encryption plug-in allows keeping data on the PRISMAspool Server in an encrypted state.

  • Page 58: Job Control/Editing

    Form-controlled job processing: a job's form name determines how it will be handled, i.e. the PRISMAspool decides on the basis of the form which resources need to be load- ed, whether the paper has to be changed, or whether a data converter or filter has to be run, etc.

  • Page 59: Printer Control/Status

    If a job is cancelled, PRISMAspool notes the last printed page in the job ticket if you restart the job later, you could select the page after this one as the new start point.

  • Page 68 The connection will not be closed and next waiting jobs could be sent to the printer. PRISMAspool also continues the follow up of the already full sent jobs. This behaviour supposes that the printer keeps the connection intact and continues to print all received jobs.

  • Page 69: Parallel Printers

    Quick Start - Installing and configuring printers Print Manager Spool 5.2.2 Parallel printers PRISMAspool can only access a parallel printer if the corresponding parallel port is not linked with a printer in the internal Windows spool. Note: No printer should be defined on the port LPT1.
  • Page 70 Print Manager Spool Quick Start - Installing and configuring printers In the context menu, select "Add Printer" item. Now a new printer appears on the left side of the printer view, at the last position, the context menu closes. Now select this printer and click it with the right mouse button. A new context menu ap- pears.

  • Page 71: Tcp / Ip Printers

    Quick Start - Installing and configuring printers Print Manager Spool Then open the "Device-Link" drop-down list and select "\Device\Parallel0". PRISMAspool starts counting the printers by 0. So if you install e.g. the third printer in the system, it would be printer 2 for PRISMAspool.
  • Page 72 Print Manager Spool Quick Start - Installing and configuring printers In the "TCP/IP Address" field, put the correct TCP/IP address of the printer. Fill also the port number in the field "TCP/IP Port". The port number should be found in the documentation of your printer.
  • Page 73 Note: "Check printer status" is a setting for PJL capable TCP/IP printers. If this setting is activated, PRISMAspool will check the status of the printer before a print job is sent to this printer. This setting prevents that jobs are sent to a printer, which is offline or reports an error.

    PRISMAspool can use printer that are already defined in Windows system (Shared on a Network server or local printers). To define such printer, select a printer in PRISMAspool and the right click to set its proper- ties. Check the option "LOCAL/SERVER" in the "Connection Type" box.

  • Page 79: Command Printer

    Select "COMMAND" in the connection type drop list. PRISMAspool uses a command printer by creating a job file and then calling a command or a program. For example, use the LPR command to send print data via the LPR com- mand.
  • Page 80 Select the printer type COMMAND. In the edit box, enter the command to call after the job data has been created. To give job parameters to the command, the PRISMAspool uses parameters starting with a "%". For example, %Y will be replaced by the path and file name of the created job file.
  • Page 81 The feedback of the command (batch or binary) will be printed in the "Printer Display" col- umn. To enable this option, set the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Oce Printing Systems\PRISMAspool\Options\EnableFeedBackFrom- CalledBatch to true (non zero). Remember you have to restart the OspServer service to take this option into account.
  • Page 82 With this option, PRISMAspool will wait XXX amount of time between two updates of the printer display column. This option is mainly designed for developing the batch/binary file. It will impact the PRISMAspool processing speed. The use of this option is shown by the following examples.
  • Page 83 PRISMASPOOLEnd of Batch file Within this example, only echo that starts with PRISMASPOOL will be displayed. The feed back from ping command will not. Note: We suggest inserting "@echo off" at the beginning of your batch file. This command prevents the user from watching the batch program execute (even if PRISMAspool is able to filter them).
