l Print up to: Select the maximum number of files that can be simultaneously sent to print by the LPR output
service.
l Error handling group
l Max. retry period: Select the maximum time period, in hours, within which PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools
attempts to dispatch the job using the LPR output before giving up. Note that entering a maximum retry period
of 0 hours disables retries altogether.
l Retry interval: Select the interval, in seconds, at which time PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools attempts to dis-
patch the job using the LPR output. This takes place only within the Max. retry period, after which the attempt
ends.
l Keep a backup when error occurs: Select to move the job file to a local folder relative to your install folder
called pplpr\error in the case of an error.
l LPR settings group
l Time-out: Set the time in seconds the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools process waits when it sends jobs
using the LPR protocol. The default value for the Time-out property is 7200 seconds (2 hours). On a time-out,
partially sent data files are not passed to the rest of the process; the LPR output resets and is ready to send fur-
ther data files. Log messages include the time-out duration.
l Polling interval (seconds): Select the period of time—the default is 4 seconds—for which PlanetPress Suite
Workflow Tools is to wait when it finishes dispatching jobs to the LPR printer queues before polling the LPR out-
put folder again.
PrintShop Web Connect Service User Options
PrintShop Web Connect service preferences control the credentials to log into the PrintShop Web server.
The available preferences are as follows:
l Username: Enter the username of a valid PrintShop Web user, mostly operators.
l Password: Enter the password associated with the username on the PrintShop Web server.
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 configuration is sent to the service via the Send configuration button.
Editor Options
The Script Editor is used to edit scripts used in Run Script and the XSLT Editor is used to edit scripts used in Open XSLT action
tasks. Most of the options listed below are valid for both editors. Those options which are only valid for a specific editor are
identified as such.
The available Script Editor and XSLT Editor options are as follows:
l Editor
l Auto indent mode: Select to automatically position the insertion pointer under the first non-blank character
of the preceding line when you press ENTER.
l Insert mode: Select to use Insert mode and clear to use Overwrite mode. In Insert mode, when you enter
text, existing text shifts to accommodate it. In Overwrite mode, text you enter overwrites existing text. You can
also press INSERT to toggle between the two modes.
l Use tab character: Select to use the tab character instead of spaces to represent tabs in the program file.
Clear to use spaces to represent tabs. You must clear the Smart tab option to use this option.
