Note
This type of output task does not support PDFtransparency and duo-tone features, so
you should not use it with PlanetPress Design documents that use those features.
Input
This task can accept either a data file with a correct Emulation, which is then merged to a
PlanetPress Design document, or a PDFfile which is to be printed natively.
Processing
Either the data file is merged with the document if one is selected, or the PDFFile is printed
natively through the PlanetPress Printer driver (which prints the same as if one were to open
the PDFin a PDFreader and print it).
Properties
General Tab
l
Printer queue: Select the queues to which you want to send the output. Note that this is a
variable property box, so you can use various schemes to use printer queue names that
change with each job at run-time.
l
Properties: Click to change the current printer queue properties. Note that PlanetPress
Workflow generate the job file and hands it over with the available print options to the
Windows print driver, which takes the relay for the actual printing part, so there is no way
for your PlanetPress Workflow Tool to ensure that all the settings you make will be
applied to the printed document.
l
Job name: Enter the job’s file name. By default, the variable %f (Job File Name) is used.
You may use a different variable, but you may not use a data selection. This information
may be used for the printer’s banner page.
l
Job owner name: Enter the job owner name. You may use a PlanetPress Workflow
variable.
