Processing Facilities: Working with NDO Load Balancing Pools and Data Manipulation

This is a pretty complex example to illustrate what is possible. Don’t try to fully understand the details shown. When you start configuring your own systems, the details will make sense to you.

To be complete in your planning, you must consider which types of input will be sent to which logical printer. The final example below shows this; at the same time, it reflects a more realistic situation entailing less complicated use of pre-pro- cessing, post-processing and string substitution than in the previous figures.
