"PlanetPress Workflow printer queues" on page94). In the All in One task or the Create

Output task, on the Output Creation tab, select the Output Management Through Work-

flow option. The Print output file returned to the Workflow process will become the new job

file. In the Printer Queue Output task, on the General tab, under Documents, select None

to send the job file to the Workflow Printer Queue as-is. See also: "About printing" on

page92.

Advanced Tab

Copies: Enter the number of copies to be printed outputs. Since this is a variable property box,

you may enter a fixed value or use a data selection. Note that load balancing options have an

impact on how copies are printed as well as on the total number of printed copies.

Load balancing group (Options from this group are only valid if multiple Workflow printer

queues were selected.)

No balancing: No load balancing means that all the selected Workflow printer queues get

everything.

Split job: Split job means that jobs will be split according to the criteria set in the Page

delimiter group (see below) and that an equal share of the job file will be sent to each one

of the selected Workflow printer queues. For a hundred page job, for example, if two

queues were selected, each one will get 50 pages.

Queue balancing: Queue balancing means that jobs will be split according to the criteria

set in the Page delimiter group (see below) and that a share of the job file corresponding to

each printer’s capacity (as set in the PlanetPress Workflow Printer Queue Options dia-

log box—See "Print using a Windows driver" on page555) will be sent to each one of the

selected Workflow printer queues. If two queues were selected, the first one sending jobs

to a printer that prints 500 pages a minute, and the second one sending jobs to a smaller

printer printing 50 pages a minute, the first queue will receive roughly ten times more

pages than the second one.

Round robin: Round robin means that complete jobs will be sent in turn to each one of the

selected Workflow printer queues. For example, Queue_1 will get the first job, Queue_2

will get the second job, and so forth.

Page delimiter group: These options are enabled when you choose Split job or Queue bal-

ancing load balancing options. They are used to determine how each job is to be split before

being sent to the Workflow printer queues.

Form feed: Cuts the job file at every form feed character.

Lines per page: Cuts the job file after the specified number of lines.
