the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools working folders under the "Backup"folder.

On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on Task Properties Dialog.
If storing the message or ID, if they are store in a jobinfo they will be available in any error handling process where errors are
being forwarded. In all cases, if your process continues after the error, the contents of the variables selected in this window
will be available for the rest of your process, or whenever they are overwritten.
Common Errors
Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and all tasks because they are
related more to the system than to PlanetPress itself. Some examples would be W3813, W3830, W3991, W4005. These cor-
respond to issues such as not having any space to write files, permission errors on folders or files, etc.
Note: 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), which is updated every time the configuration is
sent to the service via the Send configuration button.
Telnet Input
The Telnet Input Task (also known as the Raw Socket Printing Input)receives files sent to a specific port. If you want Plan-
etPress Suite Workflow Tools to receive data using multiple ports, you must use multiple Telnet input tasks. To turn on or off
the Telnet logging option, see the user options (see Telnet Input User Options).
Input
This task does not poll an input, it sits there and waits for a job file to be sent through the Telnet port.
Processing
When the job is received through Telnet, it is saved as a job file. No further processing is done on the file.
Output
The task outputs the job file as is, with no evaluation or modification.
Telnet input task properties are as follows:
General tab
l Port: Enter the number of the port on which PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools is to listen for Raw Socket com-
munications. The default port number is 9100. Bear in mind that no two input tasks, whatever their type (Telnet, serial,
LDP, etc.), should be listening to the same port.
l Description: PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools displays the name of the service or process assigned to the port
number entered in the Port box. Note that these are standard Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) descrip-
tions.
