Email Connection Type (Send as PDF or Image)

An Email device connection allows you to print to a PDF file or to a PNG file and send the file via email. When configuring a device connection, the following options are available in the Connection tab when you select Email as the connection type.

Note: PDFs created through a Loftware Enterprise SP PDF device driver are read-only and cannot be edited in other applications.

Note: Not all connection types are available to all device families and models. The options available are dependent on the type of connection and device family selected.

Note:

If you will be sending multiple jobs in quick succession through this device connection, you should create or update the following system property:

Namespace: deviceManagement
Key: force.dedicated
Value: true
