Common Errors
Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and all tasks
because they are related more to the system than to PlanetPress itself. Some examples would be W3813,
W3830, W3991, W4005. These correspond to issues such as not having any space to write files, permission
errors on folders or files, etc.
Comments Tab
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a single text area (Task comments)that lets you
write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with the OKbutton,
and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Serial Input
Serial Input tasks receive files sent to a serial port on the computer running PlanetPress Workflow. All the
Serial Input tasks in aPlanetPress Workflow configuration share the same general properties, which are
configured through user options (see "Serial Input Plug-In Preferences" on page647). Only the properties
set in the Other and Error tabs are specific to individual tasks.
Input
This task does not poll an input, it sits there and waits for a job file to be sent through the Serial connection.
Processing
When the job is received through the Serial connection, it is saved as a job file. No further processing is
done on the file.
Output
The task outputs the job file as is, with no evaluation or modification.

Since Serial Input tasks have no specific task configurable properties, this section contains no
property information.
