given document version number, you can use an Add Document action task instead of a Printer Queue output, and then
use an Add/Remove Text action task to add a version number in the document trigger (for more information, refer to
the Control Versions of a Document section of the PlanetPress Design User Guide).
Advanced tab
l Copies: Enter the number of copies to be printed outputs. Since this is a variable property box, you may enter a fixed
value or use a data selection. Note that load balancing options have an impact on how copies are printed as well as on
the total number of printed copies.
l Load balancing group (Options from this group are only valid if multiple printer queues were selected.)
l No balancing: No load balancing means that all the selected printer queues get everything.
l Split job: Split job means that jobs will be split according to the criteria set in the Page delimiter group (see
below) and that an equal share of the job file will be sent to each one of the selected printer queues. For a hun-
dred page job, for example, if two queues were selected, each one will get 50 pages.
l Queue balancing: Queue balancing means that jobs will be split according to the criteria set in the Page
delimiter group (see below) and that a share of the job file corresponding to each printer’s capacity (as set in
the PlanetPressSuite Workflow Tools Printer Queue Options dialog box—see Print Using a Windows Driver) will
be sent to each one of the selected printer queues. If two queues were selected, the first one sending jobs to a
printer that prints 500 pages a minute, and the second one sending jobs to a smaller printer printing 50 pages a
minute, the first queue will receive roughly ten times more pages than the second one.
l Round robin: Round robin means that complete jobs will be sent in turn to each one of the selected printer
queues. For example, Queue_1 will get the first job, Queue_2 will get the second job, and so forth.
l Page delimiter group:These options are enabled when you choose Split job or Queue balancing load bal-
ancing options. They are used to determine how each job is to be split before being sent to the printer queues.
l Form feed: Cuts the job file at every form feed character.
l Lines per page: Cuts the job file after the specified number of lines.
l Keyword: Cuts the job file after each occurrence of the specified keyword (string of characters).
l Custom Trigger: Enter the code of the trigger that will be sent with the data to the selected printer queues. Note that
this box is only enabled if None was selected in the General tab.
l Add job information to the document:Includes the current JobInfos to the job output. This option is only avail-
able if a document was selected in the General tab.
l Use job name as Title:Uses the Job Name set in the Printer Queue's General tab, as the job's title, set as %%Title
in the postscript's job.
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.
Send Email
Send Email output tasks send the data files they receive via email.
