PRO, Captaris RightFax or Windows Fax. See "About PlanetPress Fax" on page278.

Start and stop PlanetPress Workflow Service
As with most Windows services, PlanetPress Workflow can be started and stopped automatically when
a Windows session is opened and closed. The other option is to start, stop or pause PlanetPress Work-
flow manually using the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program.
Note: The current PlanetPress Workflow status is always displayed in the lower-right corner of
the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program window.
Click Tools in the PlanetPress Workflow Ribbon.
Then, in the Services Status group:
l
Click Start Service to start the service. A progress bar is displayed while your PlanetPress Work-
flow is being started.
l
Click Stop Service to stop the service.
When you stop or pause PlanetPress Workflow, it immediately stops bringing new files into its
processes, but it keeps on performing tasks until all the files which are currently under process
have been completely processed.
l
Click Pause to pause the service. The PlanetPress Workflow service temporarily stops per-
forming jobs.
Note: If you send a new configuration when PlanetPress Workflow is paused, it will con-
tinue using the old configuration when you resume processing until you stop and restart it.
