Protocol options group
l
Log all Winsock and network messages: Select to have PlanetPress Workflow
keep a log of all Winsock and other network messages that occur through the LPD
service. These are messages related to jobs being sent from other systems through
LPR, and being received by PlanetPress Workflow via LPD. Since these messages
can accumulate, you have the option of not logging them. Log files are kept in the
Log folder, which is located in the PlanetPress Workflow installation folder. They
are named lpddate.log, where date is the current date in the yyyymmdd numerical
format. Note that changing this option also affects the log displayed in the
PlanetPress Workflow Service Console.
l
No source port range restriction: Select to remove any restrictions on the port of
the LPR client computer that PlanetPress Workflow accepts data files from. Clear to
have PlanetPress Workflow only accept data files sent from ports ranging between
721 and 731 on the LPR client computer.
l
Strict RFC 1179 control file: Select to disable control file extensions the LPD
service implements for some flavors of UNIX and LPR. This enforces the basic Line
Printer Daemon protocol.
l
Enable BSD compatibility mode: Select to have the LPD service emulate a BSD
UNIX server. Although RFC 1179 is supposed to describe the BSD LPD/LPR
protocol, and the LPD input in PlanetPress Workflow is RFC1179-compliant, there
are some incompatibilities between the RFC and the BSD implementation. This
option compensates for some of these incompatibilities. If you are not sure about the
source of your output, clear this option.
l
LDP settings group
l
Time-out (sec): Set the time in seconds the process waits for the transfer of bytes in
the data file before ending the transfer of this file. The default value for the Time-out
property is 7200 seconds (2 hours). On a time-out, partially received data files are
not passed to the rest of the process; the LPD input resets and is ready to receive
further data files. Log messages include the time-out duration.
Serial Input plugin preferences
Serial input plugin preferences control certain functions of the PlanetPress Serial Capture
service, which in turn has a direct impact on all Serial input tasks performed by PlanetPress
Workflow on a given computer.
