Creating a custom step (transform) object to convert data and print only smaller files
In the example below, the actual destination activates the pics2gif transform when incoming JPEG and TIFF jobs enter the system. These jobs are transformed
into GIF format and then uploaded to the Internet by an application outside of InfoPrint Manager. When the transformed GIF files are smaller than 3 KB, they are returned to InfoPrint Manager for printing on a proof printer. To observe cost-cutting mandates across
the installation, transformed GIF files that are larger than 3 KB are not printed.
The transform checks the size of the transformed file and sends a return code of 5
if the job is too big to be printed.
To define a data stream transform object from the InfoPrint Manager Web Administration Interface as a conditionally-terminating transform, use this procedure:
- Connect to the InfoPrint Manager server using the
