l XSLTVersion
l XSLT1.0:Select if you will be entering or pasting XSLT version 1.0 code.
l XSLT2.0:Select if you will be entering or pasting XSLT version 2.0 code.
l Tools
l Editor Options...:Opens the "Editor Options" (page 76).
l Help
l Contents and Indexes:Opens the Editor Help (this page)
The other options of the window are:
l The script editor text box:This is where you enter your XSLTScript that will be used. If you use an external script
file, this will display the content of the file (note however that modifying the script in this case does not modify the exter-
nal file and changes are not saved).
l Script running from:Choose if the script should be run from the editor text box, or from an external script file.
l Script filename and path:Either enter the full path of the XLSTScript, or click the Browse button to navigate to
the file. This option is only available if you choose external script file in the Script running from option.
Send Images to Printer Action Task Properties
The Send Images to Printer Action Task is used to (obviously)send images to the printer so they can be used as resources by
documents run on the printer. They are comparable to Download to Printer action tasks (see "Download to Printer Action Task
Properties" (page 113)), but they include image specific options. Furthermore, they can be used to send images not only to
printers, but also to the virtual drive of other computers running PlanetPress Suite applications.
Images sent to a printer are stored in the root folder of the printer’s hard disk, while images sent to the virtual drive of
another computer are stored in a sub-folder of the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools folder.
Send Images to Printer action task properties are as follows:
General tab
l Scan orientation: Select Side to side for images that will be printed in their original orientation on a portrait oriented
page, or in a rotated orientation on a landscape page. Select Top to bottom for images that will be printed in a rotated
orientation on a portrait oriented page, or in a rotated orientation on a portrait oriented page. Note that images that are
meant to be printed in various ways can be stored twice on the printer as two identical copies of the same file that bear
different names (Image_Original.tif and Image_Rotated.tif, for example). The first copy can be processed using a Send
Images to Printer action task with the scan orientation set to Side to side, the second one with a different Send Images
to Printer action task with the scan orientation set to Top to bottom, each one typically being included on two different
branches of the same process.
l Color conversion: Select As is to keep the color information included in the images. Select Grayscale to convert color
images to grayscale.
l Naming convention: Select ’File name, original’ to store the file under its original file name. Select ’File name, no
extension’ to store the file without its original file name extension. Note that all characters are converted to uppercase
and that extended characters (diacreased characters, such as é, for example) are not recommended in image file
names.
l Image quality: Select the same image quality chosen in the PlanetPress Design documents that reference the image
files you are sending. In PlanetPress Design, this setting is included in the document’s resource options.
l Image compression level: Select the level at which you want images to be compressed. Values can range from 1
(compress up to 1% of the image’s original size) to 100 (do not compress). For example if you set this box to 75, the
Image Downloader compresses all images by 75% when it converts those image to PostScript. The default com-
pression level is 70%.
l Send to Virtual Drive of: Select the computers and/or printers to which the images are to be sent.
