comrce cloudprint
comrce cloudprint prints documents from the cloud on printers in your company. Billbee, your shop or an email sends a document. A pipeline decides what happens to it. A Service Client on one of your computers prints it. Or the pipeline puts the file in an FTP folder.

How comrce cloudprint works
Section titled “How comrce cloudprint works”- Other cloud services send documents to comrce cloudprint. Or they leave them where comrce cloudprint fetches them, such as a mailbox or an FTP folder.
- comrce cloudprint processes each document in a pipeline.
- The pipeline sends the result to its target.
How the data gets there depends on the target:
- An FTP folder reachable from the internet. The file goes straight there.
- A printer in your company. This takes a Service Client on a computer that reaches the printer. A Windows PC with the printer already installed is enough.
These pages explain the ideas behind pipelines:
- Processes and how they work
- Output options
- Filters and conditions
- Processing steps
- Job settings
- Placeholders
- Example: choose the printer from meta information
