l Report Success: Select to have PlanetPress Fax generate a report whenever one of the faxes in the PlanetPress Fax
Job reaches its destination successfully or at least as far as the Windows Fax service is concerned.
l Report Folder: Enter or select the location of the report file. PlanetPress Fax generates report file names auto-
matically with the filename extension PFX. The report file is copied to the specified Report folder only after all fax trans-
missions in a PlanetPress Fax job are completed or have exceeded the maximum number of retries. This folder can
then be used as an input for a PlanetPress Watch process for monitoring the status of PlanetPress Fax jobs. The post-
script (PS) file for the job is also copied with the report file and can be printed, sent by e-mail, or archived as specified
by the PlanetPress Watch process.
l Expand folder paths in UNC (Universal Naming Conventions) format: Select to have PlanetPress Fax use
complete network server path names (\\servername\sharename\path\filename). This naming convention works well
with Windows operating systems, Novell NetWare, and other operating systems when using a local naming system
(such as the DOS naming system in Windows) would result in “File not found” error messages.
l Dialing options: Click to set the appropriate options as required. Since these options are specific to the faxing pro-
gram, refer to the faxing program’s documentation for more information.
Captaris RightFax options
l RightFax Printer: Select a RightFax printer. A RightFax printer is a fax driver that makes it possible to send faxes
automatically. This printer will output faxes without prompting the user for fax addressing information. For more infor-
mation, refer to Captaris RightFax documentation.
l Activation: Click to enter activation codes for the PlanetPress Image service installed on the same computer as Plan-
etPress Watch. If you have already activated the PlanetPress Image service from its Control Panel applet, this is
reflected when you open the activation dialog box by clicking this button.
l Check for updates: Click to access the Objectif Lune website to search for updates to PlanetPress Image. You are
guided through the updating process with the PlanetPress Suite Update Service wizard.
l About: Click to display an About dialog box for PlanetPress Fax. This dialog box contains information such as the ver-
sion number, whether the software is activated or the number of days remaining in the trial.
l Select Language: Click to select a different interface language for the PlanetPress Fax Configuration applet. Note
that this button is not displayed if you edit the PlanetPress Fax options directly (not via PlanetPress Watch Configuration
program).
FTP Output Service User Options
FTP output user options control certain functions of the FTP Client service, which in turn has a direct impact on all FTP output
tasks performed by PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools on a given computer.
The available FTP output user options are as follows:
l Protocol options group
l Log all Winsock and network messages: Select to have PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools keep a log of
all Winsock and other network messages that occur through the FTP output. These messages are related to jobs
sent from PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools to a server via an FTP output, which in turn uses the FTP output
service. Log files are kept in the Log folder, which is located in the PlanetPress Suite installation folder. They are
named ftpdate.log, where date is the current date in yyyymmdd numerical format. Note that changing this
option also affects the log displayed in the PlanetPress Suite Service Console.
l Interval: Select the interval (in seconds) at which the FTP service is to dispatch jobs from the ftpPut folder to
the FTP sites.
l Back up job on error: Select to move the job file to a local folder ftpPut\error if an error occurs while send-
ing a job via the FTP output. This folder is relative to your install folder.
l FTP Port: Select the port number that you want PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools to use for all FTP output
tasks. The recommended port is 21 (the default setting).
