steadyPRINT VPD is able to automatically send files stored by an ERP system or similar systems in a certain folder to a desired target printer. Information such as the target printer, number of copies or the document name are specified via a META file, which contains all the necessary information for further processing. Neither printer assignments nor a steadyPRINT Agent are required as the steadyPRINT Server service automatically monitors the job directories and processes incoming documents. In addition, the VPD standard includes functions such as reliable operation, optional print job sorting, offline printing and job repetition.
