Spire CX250 Color Server Network Printers

For Macintosh and Windows networks, the Spire CX250 color server 
provides three default network printers, also known as virtual printers.

Virtual printers are used for automating workflows, which then define job 
streaming. They contain preset workflows that are automatically applied to 
all print jobs processed with that virtual printer. There is no need to reset 
job settings for each job, thus increasing printing efficiency.

The three default virtual printers are:

Files are spooled directly to the Storage window and await operator 
processing. You can only import PDL files (such as: PS, PDF, VIPP, 
VPS) to the spool store, not RIPped - RTP files. 

Files are processed and printed directly to the Xerox DocuColor 240/
250 printer-copier via the Spire CX250 color server.

Files are automatically processed and stored in RTP format. After 
processing, the files are stored in the Storage window of the Spire 
CX250 color server until the operator re-submits them for printing.

With printing workflows tailored to your job requirements, the Spire 
CX250 color server enables you to: 

Define new virtual printers

Choose from which virtual printer to print

Note:  The job (print) parameters set in the job (from the client) override the 
parameters set in the virtual printer. 

For information on defining and editing virtual printers, see Managing Virtual 
Printers on page 80.
