Configuring job storage
By default, the PrinterOn Server is configured to use its local database to store print and preview data. However, you can configure the server to use a third-party cloud solution instead. If you intend to use a third-party cloud solution, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), to store your print data, you can configure several settings to optimize performance and limit the number of network requests that are made.

Two types of data might be stored:
Print data
The data produced after rendering a document may include several PJL headers and other metadata used to convey information about the print data to the printer. The print data is generated by the PAS, and accessed by the PDH and PDS components which deliver the print data to the destination printer for printing.
Preview images
When server-side preview is enabled, the PAS renders the document and generates print preview images (one image for each page of the document) on behalf of the PrinterOn Mobile App.
The previewing capabilities of the devices are very limited, so many document formats cannot be previewed, or the preview does not accurately reflect the appearance of the printed document. Server-side preview enables the PrinterOn Mobile App to display accurate previews for documents of any supported format. The preview images are stored separately from the print data.
