Transaction printing workflow Transaction printing workflow When there is a license for transaction printing (IPDS or PCL), you can operate the print system in the transaction printing mode. An IPDS or PCL host sends a streaming job to a dedicated port in the print system. The transaction printing mode fits print environments with large numbers of business critical data, such as invoices, checks and salary slips. Typically, in the transaction print mode, that first non-variable parts of a print job are stored on the controller and are then merged with the variable parts of the print job. Job preparation Applications to prepare and submit job stream Print production Scheduled jobs Finishing and delivery Printing Media loading [35] Job workflow for transaction printing mode During daily work, you can switch between the transaction printing and document printing modes without rebooting the print system. When the transaction printing mode is active, the print system still accepts PDF and PostScript jobs. However, PRISMAsync starts to process these jobs, when you switch off the transaction printing mode. PDF containers in the data streams The transaction printing mode can be extended with an Adobe PDF Print Engine (Adobe PDF for IPDS) license. This license allows you to process PDF containers in the data streams. Differences between the two printing modes The transaction printing mode is different from the document printing mode in several respects: 1. All data in one connection session are part of the same streaming job. This streaming job can have job separators. In this instance, you can see the different job names on the control panel. 2. The print resolution for IPDS is 240, 300, 600 dpi, or automatically detected. imagePRESS C800 Series Chapter 6 - Prepare the jobs 75
