l FTP Port:Enter the FTPport to use. This option is disabled if Use FTPClient default port number is checked. The port
should always correspond with the server's port number.
l Directory: Enter the directory to which the print jobs are to be uploaded. If you leave this box empty, the job files are
sent to the root directory of the FTP server.
l File name: Enter the name under which the print jobs will be saved. Consider using a dynamic name, since if you use
a static name every new file will overwrite the previous one.
l Connection mode group
l Active: Select to prompt the ftp client to use the active mode when sending files to the FTP server.
l Passive: Select to prompt the ftp client to use the passive mode when sending files to the FTP server.
Advanced tab
l Print speed: Enter the speed, in pages per minute (PPM), of the printer associated with the printer queue. This value
is used to determine how to divide jobs when you use the Queue Balancing option for load balancing.
l Commands: The list of available commands appears in this box. Select either Pre-job commands or Post-job com-
mands in the Selected box, and double-click a command from this list to add it to the appropriate list.
l Selected: Select either Pre-job commands or Post-job commands to add new commands to the appropriate list and to
see those commands that have already selected. Double-click a command to remove it from the selected list.
l Add: Click to add a new command to the list displayed in the Commands box. You must then edit the new command’s
description and value. Note that new commands are shared by all printer queues.
l Delete: Click to remove a command from the Commands box.
l Command description: Use this box to edit the description of the command currently selected in the Commands
box.
l Command value: Use this box to edit the code of the command currently selected in the Commands box. Use the
right-click menu for a list of standard printer control characters.
Send to Folder Printer Queue
Unlike Send to Folder output tasks, which are typically used to send data files to local or network folders, Send to Folder output
printer queues are mostly used to send print jobs. The files generated will always be PostScript files.
Send to Folder output printer queue properties are as follows:
General tab
l Folder: Enter the path of the folder to which the print jobs are to be saved.
l File name: Enter the name of the print jobs sent to this queue. To prevent each new file from overwriting the previous
one, you should use variable names. This variable property box lets you use a combination of text, variables and data
selections.
l Concatenate files: If this option is selected, when PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools tries to save the print job under
an existing name, it appends the content of the new print job file to that of the existing file, instead of overwriting it.
l Separator string: This option is used to add a separator string between the content of each file when the Con-
catenate files option is selected.
Advanced tab
l Print speed: Enter the speed, in pages per minute (PPM), of the printer associated with the printer queue. This value
is used to determine how to divide jobs when you use the Queue Balancing option for load balancing.
l Commands: The list of available commands appears in this box. Select either Pre-job commands or Post-job com-
mands in the Selected box, and double-click a command from this list to add it to the appropriate list.
l Selected: Select either Pre-job commands or Post-job commands to add new commands to the appropriate list and to
see those commands that have already selected. Double-click a command to remove it from the selected list.
