Serial Input
Serial Input tasks receive files sent to a serial port on the computer running PlanetPress
Workflow. All the Serial Input tasks in a PlanetPress Workflow configuration share the same
general properties, which are configured through user options (see "Serial Input plugin
preferences" on page713). Only the properties set in the Other and Error tabs are specific to
individual tasks.
