Admin Guide – Business Edition Introduction The Virtual Stationery application allows companies to use electronic PDFs instead of hardcopy pre-printed stationery, without having to change the way they currently print. Whilst we have done everything possible to ensure that Virtual Stationery reliably replicates the expected behaviour of pre-printed stationery, the nature of the technology means that there are some considerations to be noted.
PlanetPress printer: This queue is a generic PostScript driver which includes the Virtual Stationery with each job. It can therefore be used with almost any printer. Method 2 – LPR (requires Corporate or Enterprise Edition) This method allows you to setup up to 32 LPR input queues (depending on the number of licenses you have purchased). Each input queue has a special LPR name (VS_DYNQ_XX, where X is 1 to 32) and the IP address is that of the Virtual Stationery server.
