Submitting
There are two methods for submitting a file for printing:
•
Submit a file from an application on your client workstation—for
example, PDL formats that were created on client workstations that are
not connected to the Spire CXP6000 color server, or files that are
available only on external media.
•
You can also import job files that reside locally on the Spire CXP6000
color server.
Printing From a Client Workstation
To print a job from a client workstation, select one of the following
methods:
•
Print the job via one of the Spire CXP6000 color server network
(virtual) printers—for example,
ProcessPrint
.
The job is spooled and then processed or printed (according to the
selected job flow of the virtual printer). If you use this method, you can
print from any application —for example, Microsoft Word— and use
any file format from any client workstation (Windows, Macintosh, or
UNIX).
•
Drag the job to a hot folder.
The job is spooled and processed or printed (according to the selected
job flow of the corresponding virtual printer).
If you use the hot folder method, you can print most PDL files on the
Spire CXP6000 color server— for example, PostScript, PDF, EPS,
Variable Print Specification, and VIPP files.
For more information about hot folders, see Using Hot Folders on page 86.
Note: PDL jobs that are spooled to the Spire CXP6000 color server must have
the appropriate file name extensions—for example, *.ps or *.pdf.
