l The Input Error Bin input task is triggered when the process sends data to the error process.
l APGC to PDF Converter task converts the PGCto a PDF
l Any existing output is used here, for example an email notification.

PlanetPress Capture Glossary
This topic describes the specific terms used in the PlanetPress Capture set of tools within PlanetPress Suite.
Anoto Digital Pen
A digital pen compatible with the Anoto system. These pens contain a camera, processor and memory chip which record each
stroke of the pen on a printed Anoto Pattern, and are able to send this information back to PlanetPress Production. This doc-
ument specifically refers to the Anoto DP-201 Digital Pen, not other equipment has been tested.
Anoto Functionality Statement
Statement ('Paper featuring Anoto functionnality') that is automatically placed on the page when a PlanetPress Capture field is
present. The statement can also include the Trace Code
Anoto Pattern
A series of dots placed in a pattern that is unique to each page where the pattern is printed. The Anoto Digital Pen identifies this
pattern and its location on the page. PlanetPress Capture contains 20,000 patterns (8 in demo mode, see PlanetPress Capture
License Management)which can be used to generate documents.
Capture Condition
PlanetPress Production task that is used for post-processing of documents after they have been processed by the Capture
Fields Processor. Conditions can be made on the document status or the presence (or absence) of ink on any of the Capture
Fields on the document.
Capture-Ready Document
A PlanetPress Design document (*.pp7) that contains at least one Capture Field on at least one page.
Capture Document Manager
A tool that lets a user search through the available documents in the Capture Database. The documents can be search through
a few different criteria and can be displayed as PDF files, individually or as a group. Documents can also be closed or deleted
from this interface.
Capture Field
The PlanetPress Design object that acts as a placeholder for the Anoto Pattern. The pattern is only applied when using the Cap-
ture Field Generator in Watch.
