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.
Print Using a Windows Driver
Printing Using a Windows Driver output tasks are used to send jobs to a local or network printer without going through a Plan-
etPress Suite printer queue. Since the printer driver itself is not necessarily postscript, we cannot optimize the print file, so
using a Windows Driver Output will always generate a larger and slower print job. However, this output can work with non-
postscript printers such as HPPCLprinters.
The Print Using a Windows Driver output taskrequires a PlanetPress Production or PlanetPress Office license, otherwise this
plugin will cause a watermark.
This type of output task does not support PDFtransparency and duotone features, so you should not use it with Plan-
etPress Design documents that use those features.
Input
This task can accept either a data file with a correct Emulation, which is then merged to a PlanetPress Design document, or a
PDFfile which is to be printed natively.
Processing
Either the data file is merged with the document if one is selected, or the PDFFile is printed natively through the PlanetPress
Printer driver (which prints the same as if one were to open the PDFin a PDFreader and print it).
Task Properties
General Tab
l Printer queue: Select the queues to which you want to send the output. Note that this is a variable property box, so
you can use various schemes to use printer queue names that change with each job at runtime.
l Properties: Click to change the current printer queue properties. Note that PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools gen-
erate the job file and hands it over with the available print options to the Windows print driver, which takes the relay for
the actual printing part, so there is no way for your PlanetPress Suite Worflow Tool to ensure that all the settings you
make will be applied to the printed document.
l Job name: Enter the job’s file name. By default, the variable %f (Job File Name) is used. You may use a different var-
iable, but you may not use a data selection. This information may be used for the printer’s banner page.
l Job owner name: Enter the job owner name. You may use a PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools variable.
This option is not functional when natively printing PDFs (without a document).
l Documents: Select a specific PlanetPress Design document if you want all the jobs to be printed with that document.
l Natively print PDFfile: This special option can be used if your job file is a PDF. The job will .
l Add job information to the document: Select to prompt your PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools to add the avail-
able job information elements in the header of the file that will be sent to the selected printer queues.
