A PrintShop Web Connect preferences page, accessible via the PlanetPress Suite Button | Preferences | Print-
Shop Web Connect, allows to provide operator credentials to your PlanetPress Suite configuration. It is mandatory to fill
both username and password fields (with the values of an existing user on the PrintShop Web server) in order to use the Print-
Shop Web Connect Input task.
General tab
l All documents: List, in a hierarchical view (Company -> Publication Types -> Documents), the PrintShop Mail doc-
uments already existing on the PrintShop Web server.
l Refresh: Click to update the list of PrintShop Mail documents available on the PrintShop Web server.
"Other" Tab
l Job Information group
l Information elements:indicates what job infos are automatically created by the input task.
l Add lines before first data page:Using the arrows keys you can add any job information directly at the
beginning of your data file.
l Backup input files:Check this to save a copy of each data file that is captured by your input. These files are saved in
the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools working folders under the "Backup"folder.
l Backup filename:Enter the filename that you wish the input data file backup to be saved under.
On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on "Task Properties Dialog" (page 51).
Note: It is also mandatory to send your configuration to your PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools service since the PrintShop
Web credentials are included in the *.cfg file (See "Send your Configuration" (page 32)), which is updated every time the con-
figuration is sent to the service via the Send configuration button.
Telnet Input Task Properties
The Telnet Input Task (also known as the Raw Socket Printing Input)receives files sent to a specific port. If you want Plan-
etPress Suite Workflow Tools to receive data using multiple ports, you must use multiple Telnet input tasks. To turn on or off
the Telnet logging option, see the user options (see "Telnet Input User Options" (page 70)).
Telnet input task properties are as follows:
General tab
l Port: Enter the number of the port on which PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools is to listen for Raw Socket com-
munications. The default port number is 9100. Bear in mind that no two input tasks, whatever their type (Telnet, serial,
LDP, etc.), should be listening to the same port.
l Description: PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools displays the name of the service or process assigned to the port
number entered in the Port box. Note that these are standard Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) descrip-
tions.
"Other" Tab
l Job Information group
l Information elements:indicates what job infos are automatically created by the input task.
l Add lines before first data page:Using the arrows keys you can add any job information directly at the
beginning of your data file.
l Backup input files:Check this to save a copy of each data file that is captured by your input. These files are saved in
the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools working folders under the "Backup"folder.
l Backup filename:Enter the filename that you wish the input data file backup to be saved under.
