l
LPR Output printer queues are used to send print jobs to printers via the LPR/LPD protocol. See
"LPR Output Printer Queue" on page97.
l
FTP Output printer queues are typically used to send print jobs to FTP sites. See "FTP Output
Printer Queue" on page99.
l
Send to Folder printer queues are typically used to send print jobs to local or network folders.
See "Send to Folder printer queue" on page100.
The properties associated with each queue will differ depending on the queue type. In the case of an
FTP Output printer queue, for example, the properties include the IP address of the FTP server. In the
case of a Windows Output printer queue, on the other hand, you will specify the name of a local or
shared Windows printer queue.
Using Printer Queues
To send print jobs to any of those PlanetPress Workflow printer queues, you must use a "Printer Queue
Output" on page556 task. Note that with a single task, you can send print jobs to multiple Workflow
printer queues simultaneously, regardless of queue types.
Workflow printer queues have a number of unique features that make it possible to design very flexible
Workflow printing solutions. A few examples:
l
You could send big output files to a production printer and smaller files to the office printer, using
a Condition in the print process, for example.
l
These printer queues offer various automatic load balancing options; see "Load balancing" on
page101.
l
Printer-specific commands can be added after the output has been created, to be executed
before or after printing.
Shared printer queue properties
The options on a printer queue’s Advanced properties tab are common to all printer queues. They
include the printer’s speed and any special pre- or post-job commands required for printer specific reas-
ons. Pre-job commands are added right before the data in the data file, while post-job commands are
placed at the end of the data file.
Advanced tab
l
Print speed: Enter the speed, in pages per minute (PPM), of the printer associated with the
printer queue. This value is used to determine how to divide jobs when you use the Queue Balan-
cing option for load balancing.
l
Commands: The list of available commands appears in this box. Select either Pre-job com-
mands or Post-job commands in the Selected box, and double-click a command from this list
