32 Submitting Chapter 2 - Getting Started 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 CXP8000 color server, or files that are available only on external media. • You can also import job files that reside locally on the Spire CXP8000 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 CXP8000 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). For more information about hot folders, see Using Hot Folders on page 85. If you use the hot folder method, you can print most PDL files on the Spire CXP8000 color server- for example, PostScript, PDF, EPS, Variable Print Specification, and VIPP files. Note: PDL jobs that are spooled to the Spire CXP8000 color server must have the appropriate file name extensions-for example, *.ps or *.pdf.
