10 Chapter 2-Setting up your computer for printing default virtual printers are published on the network with specific parameters set for processing and printing. The default virtual printers are: ● Print-Files sent to this printer are automatically processed and immediately sent to the printer for printing. ● Process-Files sent to this printer are automatically processed and stored in ready-to-print (RTP) format in the Storage area. Later, you can submit an RTP job for printing, or change the parameters of the job and resubmit it for processing or printing. ● Store-Files sent to this printer are spooled to the Storage area and wait until you submit them for processing and printing. The files remain in PDL format (such as PS, PDF, VPS, and PPML). Print Driver software Use the Print Driver software to set job parameters when you are submitting a job to the IC-307 print controller from any application in your computer. The Print Driver software provides a graphical user interface that is similar to the IC-307 print controller job parameters window. The software is automatically installed on a Windows computer when you set up a network printer. Note: On a Mac computer, you must install the Print Driver software manually. In the Print Driver window, you can perform the following actions: ● Define or change job parameters regardless of whether your computer is connected to the server ● Lock a job for secure printing ● Save a set of parameters. Sets are useful when you want to print different jobs with the same parameters, or if you want to reprint a job. ● Retrieve a saved set of parameters ● Check the status of the printer ● Define PostScript parameters for the job ● Preview imposition layout
