Default Network Printers on PC and Macintosh Clients
For Macintosh and PC networks, the CXP6000 Color Server provides three default network printers, known as virtual printers.
Virtual printers contain preset workflows that are automatically applied to all print jobs processed with that virtual printer. There is no requirement to reset job settings for each job. This functionality results in greatly increased printing efficiency.
Note: The job (print) parameters set in the job override the parameters set in the virtual printer.
CXP6000 Color Server preset virtual printers:
•ProcessPrint
Files sent to this printer are automatically processed and printed to the printer through the CXP6000 Color Server.
•ProcessStore
Files sent to this printer are automatically processed and sent to the Storage Folder of the CXP6000 Color Server. You can later submit the jobs to be printed, or change the parameters of a job and resubmit it for processing.
•SpoolStore
Files sent to this printer are automatically stored in the CXP6000 Color Server's Storage Folder until the print operator submits them for processing and printing.
An additional default network printer is provided for Macintosh networks.
•FontDownLoader
This is a special network printer used with Macintosh clients to download fonts. The FontDownLoader functions as a communications port, sending messages between the FontDownLoader program and the CXP6000 Color Server. It is not possible to send files via the FontDownLoader, only fonts.
The CXP6000 Color Server enables you to select which virtual printer to print to. It also allows you to define new virtual printers, with printing workflows tailored to your specific job requirements.
For more information see Chapter 5, “Administrating the System” in the
CXP6000 Color Server Printing Guide.
