data received by this task before sending it to the component that generates fax

functions, require that this option be selected.
PlanetPress Image
PlanetPress Image output tasks are used to make requests to PlanetPress Image, which
creates image files which it then archives or emails. Since this task is an output, it is not
possible to immediately act on the generated image before continuing. When necessary to
immediately retrieve the generated file, "Digital Action" on page283 should be used instead.
In addition to the job-specific PlanetPress Image properties you configure in the task’s
Properties dialog box, there are configurable options common to all PlanetPress Image
outputs processed by a given computer (see "PlanetPress Image preferences" on page640).
Note that those options are specific to each PlanetPress Image installation and that they are
immediately applied.
The following describes the properties specific to PlanetPress Image output tasks. For
information on those properties shared by various types of tasks, such as Other and On error
properties, refer to Configurations, Processes and Tasks.
Note
In some combinations of Microsoft Outlook and Windows versions, it is not possible for
Outlook to be opened while PlanetPress Workflow is running, so emails are not sent out
automatically. To correct this, make sure to log on to Windows on the PlanetPress
Workflow server using the same login that PlanetPress Workflow is using, and open
Outlook before starting the PlanetPress Workflow services. You could also use a startup
process to start Outlook before the rest of the services.
