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.
Standard Filter
Standard Filter action tasks can be used to remove HP Escape characters from data files, as well as to eliminate spacing prob-
lems caused by LF-CR end-of-line sequences.
HP escape characters are used in the Hewlett Packard Printer Control Language (HP PCL) to communicate basic page for-
matting and font selection information from print jobs to HP or HP-compatible printers.
These characters, like other printer control characters that control how printers interpret and print jobs, are not meant to be
printed.
If your print job is bound for an HP compatible printer, it may include these characters even when printing to a PostScript
printer that does not recognize them. PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools provides an easy way to automatically filter these char-
acters through its Standard Filter action.
Input
Text-based data files such as Line Printer Emulation and ASCII Emulation data files, which contain HPPCLcontrol characters.
Processing
All HPPCLcharacters are removed from the data file. Note that these characters are not interpreted, only stripped out.
Output
The modified data file, with stripped characters, is output from this task. Metadata, job infos and variables are not modified.
Standard Filter action task properties are as follows:
General tab
l Process job using ASCII emulation: Select to use the ASCII emulation to process the job file. This reverses LF-
CR end-of-line sequences that may result in unwanted double-spacing.
l Remove and convert HP escape characters: Select to filter HP escape character sequences from the job file.
