Available Input services
Input services are used to pull in data files. The input services used by PlanetPress Workflow
are:
l
LPD (Line Printer Daemon) Input service: Inputs data sent from an LPR client. The
LPD/LPR printing protocol is a common way to send print jobs that, in turn, use the
TCP/IP protocol to communicate through the network.
l
PrintShop Mail Web Capture service: Monitors print requests from a PrintShop Web
server.
l
Serial Input service: Monitors a single serial port for incoming data. Note that all Serial
input tasks use the same serial port (set in the user options of the PlanetPress Workflow
Configuration program).
l
Telnet Input service: Monitors multiple telnet ports for incoming data. Note that each
Telnet input task has its own telnet port number (set in each task).
l
HTTP/SOAP Server service: Monitors web pages and web sites as well as SOAP
servers.
Available Output services
Output services are used to output jobs. The output services used by PlanetPress Workflow
are:
l
FTP Output service: Places output jobs on a server via the FTP protocol.
l
LPR (Line Printer Requester) Output service: Sends jobs to an LPD server or LPD
compatible printers. The LPD/LPR printing protocol is a common way to send print jobs
that, in turn, use the TCP/IP protocol to communicate through the network.
l
PlanetPress Image: Outputs jobs as PDF files or in a variety of image formats. You can
also use PlanetPress Image to archive and/or email the files it creates. You can use
PlanetPress Search to search the PDF files PlanetPress Image creates. You can install
multiple instances of the PlanetPress Image service on your network, and have
PlanetPress Workflow send jobs to one or more of these instances. Each instance of
