l When the server running PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools sends a PlanetPress Design document along with the data
to the printer, it adds a trigger before the document (trigger+document+data).
l When the server running PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools only sends the data to the printer, because the document is
already present on the printer, it adds a trigger before the data (trigger+data).
PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools adds the trigger code automatically, but you may want to use custom triggers. You would do
this, for example, to use special printer functions. For more on custom triggers, see the Data Capture and Trigger Imple-
mentation Guide as well as the PlanetPress Design User Guide.
Load Balancing
PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools offers various load balancing options to distribute the printing load and to make the process
faster and more efficient. Print jobs may, for example, be split equally among several printers, or they may be split according
to each printer’s capacity and speed.
Load balancing can only be used for jobs sent to Printer Queue output tasks and it only applies when multiple queues are
selected.
In the General tab of the Printer Queue Output Properties dialog box, you may select multiple printers, and in the Advanced
tab, you can set the load balancing options for the selected printers.
Objectif Lune Printer Driver (PS)
Introduction
The Objectif Lune Printer Driver (PS) allows end-users to print directly to the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools from any Win-
dows application, by using the familiar File|Print option. At the other end, PlanetPress Office and PlanetPress Production spe-
cifically can capture the incoming stream and convert it internally into a PDF file along with its metadata.
Although it is available with every PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools, this feature becomes even more useful in environments
where the Document Input emulation is available (with PlanetPress Office or PlanetPress Production).
Install a Objectif Lune Printer Driver (PS)
The Objectif Lune Printer Driver (PS) is automatically installed during the PlanetPress Suite setup, along with a default Win-
dows Printer Queue called PlanetPress Printer.
Install a Windows Printer Queue using the Objectif Lune Printer Driver (PS)
A Windows Printer Queue using the Objectif Lune Printer Driver (PS) can be installed from the PlanetPress Suite Workflow
Tools WinQueue Input plugin properties.
Creating a new Windows printer queue from any PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools:
