4. Adjust the image settings for the download. The Image Downloader applies these settings to all of the
images in the Files to download list. Note that they affect only the copy of each image; the original
image remains unchanged.
Scan orientation: Select the scanline orientation for all bitmapped images in the Files to download list.
Color conversion: Define any color depth conversion you want PlanetPress Design to perform on any
of the bitmapped images in the Files to download list, during the download. Select Leave as is to leave
the color depth of each image unchanged. Select Convert to grayscale to convert each color bitmapped
image to grayscale. Select Convert to monochrome to convert each color or grayscale bitmapped image
to monochrome.
Naming convention: Specify the case and file name extension conventions you want PlanetPress
Design to use for the file names of the copied images.Select File name original to have the name of each
copied file appear in upper case, with the file name extension as it is on the original. Select File name no
extension to have the name of each copied file appear in upper case, with the file name extension
dropped.
Naming convention: Specify the case and file name extension conventions you want PlanetPress
Design to use for the file names of the copied images. Select Filename [original] to have the name of
each copied file appear in upper case, and the file name extension to remain as it is on the original.
Select Filename w/o extension to have the name of each copied file appear in upper case, and to have
the file name extension dropped. Select Filename lowercase to have the name of the copied file appear
in lower case, and the file name extension to remain as it is on the original. Select Filename w/o
extension lowercase to have the name of the copied file appear in lower case, and to have the file name
extension dropped.
Printer path: Specify the path on the printer where you want to download the copy of the images. This
path can be either a path on the hard disk or a path in flash memory. This path must exist on all of the
printers you select in the Copy to list.
Image quality: Select the image quality for the bitmapped images in the Files to download list. Recall
that image quality in PlanetPress Design refers to the type of content a bitmapped image contains.
Select Line art if edges in the image are clearly defined and sensitive to any loss of image information.
The compression PlanetPress Design applies to line art images is lossless. Note that Line art quality only
works with PostScript Level 3. If you select Line art for images, and the PPD you select for the document
is not for a PostScript Level 3 printer, PlanetPress Design automatically switches the image quality from
Line art to Photo, and applies the compression level set for Photo quality. In most cases this results in a
noticeable degradation of quality. One solution is to adjust the compression level to 100%. A
compression level of 100% means PlanetPress Design does not perform any compression. This
preserves all of the image information in the line art images, at the expense of not performing any
compression on any of the images in the Files to download list.
Image compression level: Set the compression level you want the Image Downloader to use when
you select Photo in the Image quality box. Legal values are 1 to 100.
Force PostScript mode: Select this option when the destination printer is used for printing jobs in
other formats such as PJL, and when PlanetPress Watch/Server is not sending the output to the printer’s
hard disk. When this option is selected, PlanetPress Design inserts the following command statement
[Esc]%-12345X@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = POSTSCRIPT
to precede the document as well as any other command
statement.
5. Click Download.
For each of the image files in the Files to download list, the Image Downloader makes a copy of the file.
It then applies any resolution, scan orientation, color, or file name modifications you specified, to the
copy. Finally it converts the copy to PostScript and downloads it to each of the destinations selected in
the Copy to list. If it cannot download some or all of the images, it displays an error message to this
effect.
To create a file of images, along with the PostScript code to install them on a printer:
1. Choose Tools | Application | Image Downloader.
2. In the Image Downloader dialog box, select the image files you want to copy. All image files you
select must be in one of the supported image formats (BMP, EPS, JPEG, PDF, PNG, TIFF). If you want to
download bitmapped images with a mix of image qualities, you should download each type of image
quality separately. This is because you can set only one image quality for all images in a download.
3. Adjust the image settings for the download. The Image Downloader applies these settings to all of the
images in the Files to download list.
4. Click Save to file.
