l Protocol options group
l Log all Winsock and network messages: Select to have PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools keep a log of
all Winsock and other network messages that occur through the LPR output. These messages are related to jobs
being sent from PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools to an LPD or LPD-compatible printer. Logs are kept in a Log
folder relative to your install folder. They are named lprdate.log, where date is the current date in yyyymmdd
numerical format. Note that changing this option also affects the log displayed in the PlanetPress Suite Service
Console.
l Print banner pages between jobs: Select to print banner pages between each job processed and output
from the LPR output. The banner page includes details of the job being printed, including the job file name and
the user name on the host computer running the LPR output client.
l No source port range restriction: Select to remove any restrictions on the port PlanetPress Suite Work-
flow Tools uses to send the job file via the LPR/LPD protocol. Clear to restrict the port used to send the job to
one in the range between 721 and 731.
l Print up to: Select the maximum number of files that can be simultaneously sent to print by the LPR output
service.
l Error handling group
l Max. retry period: Select the maximum time period, in hours, within which PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools
attempts to dispatch the job using the LPR output before giving up. Note that entering a maximum retry period
of 0 hours disables retries altogether.
l Retry interval: Select the interval, in seconds, at which time PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools attempts to dis-
patch the job using the LPR output. This takes place only within the Max. retry period, after which the attempt
ends.
l Keep a backup when error occurs: Select to move the job file to a local folder relative to your install folder
called pplpr\error in the case of an error.
l LPR settings group
l Time-out: Set the time in seconds the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools process waits when it sends jobs
using the LPR protocol. The default value for the Time-out property is 7200 seconds (2 hours). On a time-out,
partially sent data files are not passed to the rest of the process; the LPR output resets and is ready to send fur-
ther data files. Log messages include the time-out duration.
l Polling interval (seconds): Select the period of time—the default is 4 seconds—for which PlanetPress Suite
Workflow Tools is to wait when it finishes dispatching jobs to the LPR printer queues before polling the LPR out-
put folder again.
PrintShop Web Connect Service User Options
PrintShop Web Connect service preferences control the credentials to log into the PrintShop Web server.
The available preferences are as follows:
l Username: Enter the username of a valid PrintShop Web user, mostly operators.
l Password: Enter the password associated with the username on the PrintShop Web server.
It is also mandatory to send your configuration to your PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools service since the PrintShop
Web credentials are included in the *.cfg file (See Send your Configuration), which is updated every time the con-
figuration is sent to the service via the Send configuration button.
