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692). Only the properties set in the Other and Error tabs are specific to
individual tasks.
Input
This task does not poll an input, it sits there and waits for a job file to be sent through the Serial
connection.
Processing
When the job is received through the Serial connection, it is saved as a job file. No further
processing is done on the file.
Output
The task outputs the job file as is, with no evaluation or modification.
