is used in the trigger to identify the document when the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools sends a job to be merged on
a printer, the document name must exactly match the name of the document installed on the printer.
l Description: The description of the document as entered in PlanetPress Design.
l Last modified:The date and time the document was last uploaded to PlanetPress Workflow Tools.
Printer Settings Tab
l Trigger Type:Select whether you want a normal trigger configuration to be used, or a custom trigger that you man-
ually enter.
l Custom Trigger Box (appears only when Custom Trigger is selected in Trigger type):Lets you enter the exact
trigger you want to use. This trigger must absolutely be in standard postscript language.
l Run mode group
l Printer centric: Select to send the document along with the trigger and data to the component that generates
fax documents.
l Optimized PostScript Stream: Select to merge the selected document with the data received by this task
before sending it to the component that generates fax documents. Some PlanetPress Design features, such as
the Time and Date PlanetPress Talk functions, require that this option be selected.
l Document location group (enabled only when using Printer-Centric mode)
l PlanetPress Suite Workflow-based:Select if the PlanetPress Design document is in the PlanetPress Suite
Workflow Tools. This option should be selected if your document is updated often and you are sending it to the
Workflow Tools instead of the printer directly.
l On printer hard disk:Select if the PlanetPress Design document is on the printer's hard drive.
l In printer flash memory:Select if the PlanetPress Design document is on the printer's flash memory.
l RAM:Select if the PlanetPress Design document is on the printer's RAM (Random AccessMemory).
l Document Update group (enabled only when using printer-centric mode and the document is on the printer)
l Automatically update:PlanetPress Workflow Tools will send a new version of the document to the printer
automatically if the document has been changed since it was last used. If unchecked, you will have to manually
update the document on the printer from the Update Instances button or by sending the document to the printer
from PlanetPress Design.
l Confirm Update:Check if you want a confirmation page to be printed stating the document has been
updated, when it happens. This options is disabled if Automatically update is not selected.
l Update Instances:Clicking this button brings up a dialog box that lets you manually update any document on
any printer.
l Printer-Specific folder:This option lets you enter a manual location where the documents should reside in the
printer's memory. This option is only available if the document is Printer Centric, and the Document location is
either On printer hard disk or In printer flash memory.
Use Data and Metadata Files Attached to Documents
This feature was introduced in PlanetPress Suite 7.3.
Data Files
When sending a PlanetPress Design Document from PlanetPress Design to PlanetPress Workflow, all data files used in the doc-
ument are automatically sent to PlanetPress Workflow along with the Design Document. These data files appear under the
Design Document in the Documents section of the Configuration Components.
To set an attached data file as a sample data file in a process:
1. Make sure the Documents section is visible by clicking the button if it appears.
2. Expand the document (name.ptk) by clicking the button.
3. Right-click on the data file, then click Set as sample data file.
