218 Chapter 5 - Managing Jobs Managing Virtual Printers A virtual printer is a printer published on the network with specific parameters set for processing and printing on the Spire CXP8000 color server. The Spire CXP8000 color server contains a mechanism that automatically installs the published virtual printers on your client workstation with the PPD and suitable printer driver. The Spire CXP8000 color server is predefined with three virtual printers: • ProcessPrint Files sent to this printer are automatically processed and printed to the printer through the Spire CXP8000 color server. • ProcessStore Files sent to this printer are automatically processed and stored in the Storage window of the Spire CXP8000 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 Spire CXP8000 color server's Storage window until the print operator submits them for processing and printing. If a job that is sent from the client, or downloaded to a particular virtual printer, contains preset parameters from the PPD, these options overwrite the parameters set in the virtual printer for that job. The Printer Default options defined in the PPD use the default parameters set for that particular virtual printer. Adding a new printer When adding a new virtual printer you can specify if it is published on the network and if the virtual printer parameters will override the PPD parameters. In addition, based on predefined paper sets, you can specify that a virtual printer supports dynamic page exceptions and select the desired paper sets (up to 4 paper sets for each virtual printer). A job that has embedded dynamic page exceptions commands, and is submitted for print using a dynamic page exceptions virtual printer, is printed using the defined paper sets.
