Add job information to the document: Select to prompt your PlanetPress Workflow to
add the available job information elements in the header of the file that will be sent to the
selected printer queues.
Metadata
If no metadata file is found, the from / to page settings from the job and the printer's properties
from the task configuration are used, with the job's settings overriding those of the printer where
applicable. If a Metadata file is found, it is used to indicate which pages are printed and in
which order. Any other Metadata is ignored.
Note
Known issue: If a data file with Metadata is resubmitted to such a process, the from/to
page values set by the user in the Resubmit interface are ignored.
Miscellaneous Tab
The Miscellaneous tab is common to all tasks.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
Printer Queue Output
The Printer Queue Output task dispatches jobs to selected PlanetPress Workflow Printer
Queues (see "PlanetPress Workflow printer queues" on page110). Note that you must have
created at least one Printer Queue in PlanetPress Workflow before you can add your first
Printer Queue Output task.
You can select multiple Printer Queues in a Printer Queue Output task and choose exactly how
your jobs will be dispatched to the selected printers.
The task can create print output as well, by merging the data file with a PlanetPress Design
document (see "PlanetPress Design documents" on page43). This requires at least one
PlanetPress Design document to be associated with a Workflow printer queue (see
"Associating PlanetPress Design documents and PlanetPress printer queues" on page119).
This also requires printer licenses, unless you have the “Optimized Output” add-on in your
Connect license, which grants you the equivalent of PlanetPress Production in Connect
Workflow. (Even then, “printer-centric” output requires a printer license.)
