Protocol options group
Log all Winsock and network messages: Select to have PlanetPress Watch/Server keep a log of all
Winsock and other network messages that occur through the LPR output. These messages are related to jobs
being sent from PlanetPress Watch/Server to an LPD or LPD-compatible printer. Logs are kept in a Log folder
relative to your install folder. They are named lprdate.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.
Print banner pages between jobs: Select to print banner pages between each job processed and output
from the LPR output. The banner page includes details of the job being printed, including the job file name and
the user name on the host computer running the LPR output client.
No source port range restriction: Select to remove any restrictions on the port PlanetPress Watch/Server
uses to send the job file via the LPR/LPD protocol. Clear to restrict the port used to send the job to one in the
range between 721 and 731.
Print up to: Select the maximum number of files that can be simultaneously sent to print by the LPR output
service.
Error handling group
Max. retry period: Select the maximum time period, in hours, within which PlanetPress Watch/Server
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.
Retry interval: Select the interval, in seconds, at which time PlanetPress Watch/Server attempts to dispatch
the job using the LPR output. This takes place only within the Max. retry period, after which the attempt ends.
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.
LPR settings group
Time-out: Set the time in seconds the PlanetPress Watch/Server 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 further
data files. Log messages include the time-out duration.
Polling interval (seconds): Select the period of time—the default is 4 seconds—for which PlanetPress
Watch/Server is to wait when it finishes dispatching jobs to the LPR printer queues before polling the LPR
output folder again.
