Input
The WinQueue input regularly polls the selected printer queue for new jobs. When a new job is
available, it is captured automatically by this task.
Processing
The print job, by default, is in EMFformat. If this option is selected, no action is taken on the
data file. However, if the RAWformat is selected, the job is converted to RAW. Furthermore, if
the Create PDFoption is selected, the file is converted to a PDF, including metadata.
Output
Either one of 3 formats is output from this task:
l An EMFjob format
l A RAWjob format
l A PDF with attached metadata.
Properties
General tab
l
Printer queue: Select the PlanetPress Workflow printer queue (the one to which data
files are going to be sent).
l Printer properties group
l
Spool Print Job ins EMFFormat (Advanced printing features): Select to create
EMF files for Windows Print Converter action tasks (see "Windows Print Converter"
on page319). Note that this option must not be selected when capturing generic text
type data.
l
Spool Print Jobs in RAWFormat: Select to output in RAW format, which is the
exactly the data that the computer receives (and is not converted in any way).
l Create PDF(With Metadata): Select to output a PDF which can be used by
the Document Input (PDFInput)feature in PlanetPress Workflow.
l Optimize Resulting PDF:The resulting PDF is optimized for size and
caching options are enabled. This reduces the size of the PDFs
(depending on some factors), but may take more time to output the PDF.
