FusionPro Connect
This feature adds the RunFusionPro step template to the list of supplied step templates. When configured correctly, the step template produces print files from any supported data file using the FusionPro composition engine.
The FusionPro Connect feature lets you select different templates for the composition of the output file. The templates are first created or uploaded in FusionPro and then made available in RICOH ProcessDirector. You can also include an imposition template created with FusionPro Imposer which can help you arrange multiple pages on a sheet.
Working simulation
FusionPro Connect provides a sample workflow called FusionProSample, a sample hot folder input device, and a sample FusionPro template. If you connect RICOH ProcessDirector to your FusionPro Server, you can load the sample template and run the sample workflow.
When you enable the sample input device, a sample CSV file is submitted to the workflow. The workflow sends the CSV file to FusionPro Server. The FusionPro server processes the CSV file and composes the file into a PDF file, using the options set in the RunFusionPro step in that workflow.
System configuration
To work with RICOH ProcessDirector for Windows, FusionPro Connect must be installed on the primary computer.
