Virtual Engine
Virtual Engine menu options affect the selected Virtual Engine (VE). Which features are
active depends on the MicroPress configuration. The TRueColor feature is active only if the
VE contains a color capable PrintStation. The following sections describe the Virtual Engine
menu options.
Pause or Resume a Virtual Engine
This option prevents or starts print activity on the active VE (but does not affect a currently
printing job). When the Pause/Resume light is green, the Virtual Printer is ready to print;
when it red, the Virtual Printer is paused and will not print. All jobs selected to print will dis-
play as a Wait (W) status in the Status column of the Job List window until the VE is resumed.

Resynch Jobs

useful if a job file is copied into a PrintStation Manager spool directory. The updated job will
display after Resynch Jobs has refreshed the PrintStation Job List window.

ÎResynch from the menu.
3 The Job List window will refresh, and any jobs copied to the Virtual Engine’s Spool
Directory are added to the display.
Forms…
Use the Forms option to print data from one job as an overlay onto another job. This provides
a more efficient way of printing multiple copies of a job that contains both common and
unique text or graphics. To print a form more efficiently, send it with fixed image information
(common text and graphics) to be processed through MicroSpool, the MicroPress RIP, and
then to the PSM only once. Next, configure the job as a form for that Virtual Engine to merge
the job with the form information. You can also set the forms print option from Macintosh or
PC workstations using the MicroPress drivers.
Multi Page Forms
Multi Page Forms
A form can have one or more pages and be merged with unique text documents containing
any number of pages (e.g., 10 pages of unique text or variable data to be merged with a 5-
page form). Forms can be repeated so that each page of the unique text document will be
merged with the appropriate page of the form. Click the Repeat Form button to merge a 5-
page form with a 10-page document. The PSM merges pages 1-5 of the form with pages1-5
of the unique text document, and then the 5-page form is repeated with the next 5 pages
(pages 6-10) of the unique text document.
