Protocol options group
l Log all Winsock and network messages (very verbose): Select to have PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools
keep a log of all Winsock and other network messages that occur from the Telnet input. These messages are related
to files sent from other systems using a telnet connection. Since these messages can accumulate, you have the option
of not logging them.
l Use Job Delimiters:Check this option if your Telnet input is a single stream that can contain multiple jobs. The box
lets you enter one or more possible delimiters (separated by a line return), either a direct string(such as
%%EOJOB)or an ascii character (\001). For a list of ascii characters, see http://www.asciitable.com/.
PlanetPress Fax User Options
PlanetPress Fax user options control certain functions of the PlanetPress Fax service, which in turn has a direct impact on all
PlanetPress Fax output tasks performed on a given computer. Bear in mind that PlanetPress Fax output tasks included in a
given PlanetPress Watch configuration can be performed by a PlanetPress Fax installation running on a different computer, typ-
ically one that runs only PlanetPress Fax and the faxing application that actually sends the fax. When you change the user
options on a given computer, only that computer is affected. So you should consider changing the PlanetPress Fax user options
on the computer that actually performs the PlanetPress Fax output tasks.
The changes you make to the PlanetPress Fax user options are stored in the PlanetPress Fax configuration file. They will be
applied when PlanetPress Fax is started.
The available PlanetPress Fax user options are as follows:
l Delete log after: Enter the number of days after which to delete the PlanetPress Fax service log. Each log covers a
24-hour period and is kept in the Log folder, which is located in the PlanetPress Suite installation folder (on the com-
puter that actually performs the PlanetPress Fax output tasks).
l Fax service: Select the faxing program to which PlanetPress Fax sends its documents for faxing. Each faxing program
has its own options and changing this option also changes the options below to reflect the following:
WinFax Pro option
l Dialing format: Select how you want PlanetPress Fax to read the fax number in the data selection and send it to Win-
Fax PRO. The dialing format you select here must be identical to the one you set in WinFax PRO; a discrepancy
between the two may result in WinFax PRO dialing incorrect fax numbers. Select Default to have PlanetPress Fax set
the dial prefix, long distance prefix, area code, and fax number according to the content of the data selection, and send
the result to WinFax PRO. WinFaxPRO sets the dial prefix, long distance, prefix, and area code, and fax number to the
ones it receives from PlanetPress Fax. If any of the values it receives from PlanetPress Fax are empty, it uses its own
default values. For example, if the data selection did not contain a dialing prefix, WinFax PRO uses its default dialing pre-
fix. Select Dial as entered to limit PlanetPress Fax to removing any spaces or parentheses that appear in the data selec-
tion, and sending the result to WinFax PRO. WinFax PRO dials the result exactly as it receives it from PlanetPress Fax.
Note that WinFax Pro scales fax pages with the following minimum settings:
l Raster width: 1728 dpi
l Raster height: 2158 dpi
l Raster resolution: 196 dpi
Windows Fax options
l Report Failures: Select to have PlanetPress Fax generate a report whenever the maximum number of retries for a
single fax is exceeded. The error generated by the Windows Fax Service is also logged in the report. Note that when
PlanetPress Fax is unable to send a fax because an empty fax number is used as the only recipient for a document, a
failure will not be reported but an error will be logged.
