Print your job

Choose your input file

Click the Select a Job File box to display a drop down menu that lists all of the printers installed on your system as well as the Browse... option.

Browse...: If your sample job file is a local PDF File on your computer, click on Browse... then navigate to the location of the PDF file on your computer.
Any printer: If your sample is coming directly from an application, start by printing the job from your application by selecting the EnvelopeNOW Printer which was created during installation, then select the printer from the sample file drop down menu. Certain limitations apply to printer data capture. See Technical Considerations.

With the Browse... option, you can also select multiple PDF files by holding the CTRL key while clicking, or use the SHIFT and click to select a range of files. When you select multiple files, they are all merged together and treated as a single job.

Choose the Project file.

Click the Choose a Project box to display a drop-down menu that lists all of the saved projects on your machine. Select the project you want to use by clicking on it. If no project appears here, make sure you create one first (see Create a new project)

Select an output printer

The project's default printer should already be selected, but you can click the Assigned Printer box to display a drop-down menu that displays all the printers installed on your system (including network and shared printers).

A special printer, Save as PDF..., also appears in the list. This printer will not output to a physical printer but instead creates a PDF file on your computer. When you click on Print, a dialog will open and ask you where you want to save this PDF and what name you want to use. Click OK once you have chosen the name and location to create the PDF file. Note that when using the Save as PDF.

The project will use the printer configuration from your job file to output to the printer. If you wish to change the driver settings or if the job file does not contain driver settings, click on the Properties... button.

When using the Save as PDF... printer, the output PDF contains information about the media types and mail piece boundaries in the form of embedded metadata. This metadata is compatible with our PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools software.

Note also that if you use the Save as PDF... option while under Administrative Elevation in Windows 7 or Windows Vista, the folders that appear in the Save dialog will be those of the administrator account and not the user account. This may happen especially after a data capture using Admin User data capture mode.

Click print.

Clicking Print sends your job to the printer and exits this window.
