Admin Guide – Business Edition
Introduction
The Virtual Stationer y 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. We have therefore created a separate document called “What
to Expect” which describes |the expected behaviour along with any related considerations.
Pre-requisites
In order to use PPVS, you need to have a PC running a supported Windows operating system
(see ‘What to Expect Guide’), you must install the software, configure the Virtual Station ery, make
one or two special Shar e d Pr inter drivers available to your users and finally setup Target printer
Input Methods
Virtual Stationery supports two input methods – but for Business Edition it will only work with
Windows input.
Method 1 – Windows
This method uses a special Windows queue which is paused and shared to your users. All print
jobs submitted to the queue will be pick ed up by Virtu al Stat ionery and then processed in line with
the incoming job owner settings and so the printer port should be left as LPT1
Page 1
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.
When using LPR input, all users sending jobs to a queue will use the same stationery.
You can install your drivers on the clients PCs or you can install them on the server and then
share them out to your users. For LPR spooling, the queue is NOT paused

Installation
There are four components to the installation of Virtual Stationery
1) Install & Activate & Configure PlanetPress Suite (Production and Imaging)
2) Install the Virtual Statio nery Application (requires a reboot)
3) Virtual Statio ne ry Configuration
4) Setup Stationery
5) Roll-out
1. Install, Activate & Configure PlanetPress
The Virtual Stationer y application uses PlanetPress Suite (Production and Imaging) as the engine
in RESTRICTED mode. PlanetPress must be installed and activated in RESTRCITED mode
before the Virtual Stationery application can work.
To check that your software is activated correctly, you should make sure your Production
Activation code (when you receive it) begins with four digits that are greater than 0512.
For example:
0776-542963-B996-626F-B8FC-7F02 is correct
0264-542963-EAB5-1FAA-0CCA-861E is incorrect
If your activation code is not correct, please contact Objectif Lune or your supplier and ask them
to re-issue your serial number with RESTRICTED mode enabled.
Note: Once PlanetPress is RESTRICTED it will not be able to work with other PlanetPress
configurations, so we STRONGLY recommend that you install it on a separate PC or VMWare
image to any other PlanetPress installations.
To download and/or activate PlanetPress you will need a serial number.

For end users your serial number will be sent with your order
For resellers you will need to obtain a demonstration serial number from Objectif Lune or your
distributor
You can download the software by using the link below:

Installation of PlanetPress Suite is very simple, but once installed you will need an activation code
in order to prepare it for use with the Virtual Stationery application. In order to obtain an activation
code, you must use our web site www.objectiflune.com/activation
