Using the Image Print Server

This section summarizes the process of printing an image. See “Dialog Boxes and Print Options” on page D-6for detailed descriptions of the options.

Inserting Images into the Print Queue

The IPS application allows you to submit images by specifying a “hot folder” (for example: the Source Directory in the Source Directory Preferences dialog box) or inserting through the enqueue function from the application menu bar.

Source Directory Insertion

Images placed in the Source Directory are automatically placed into the print queue. The images are then sorted by the date and time that they were placed in the Source Directory. Images are printed in the order that they are placed into the directory. Once the image has been downloaded, the file is removed from the Source Directory.

NOTE: The properties of the images that are placed in the Source Directory are taken from the Source Directory Preferences dialog box.

Menu Bar Insertion

To enqueue an image through the menu bar, select File->Enqueue or click the

Enqueue button.

Images placed in the queue through the menu bar are not removed from their original directory after they are downloaded.

NOTE: The properties of images inserted in this manner are taken from the

Enqueue dialog box.
