WinQueue Input
WinQueue input tasks capture print jobs received by a Windows printer queue.
Note
Before you go through the following procedure, on the computer running PlanetPress Workflow you
will need to create a local printer queue that will be used to receive data files in the form of print jobs.
This queue can be shared, so as to be able to receive jobs sent from local as well as remote users.
To ensure that the spooled files created by PlanetPress Workflow queue remain in the spool folder, the
printer queue must be paused.
Input
The WinQueue input regularly polls the selected printer queue for new jobs. When a new job is available, it
is captured automatically by this task.
Processing
The print job, by default, is in EMFformat. If this option is selected, no action is taken on the data file.
However, if the RAWformat is selected, the job is converted to RAW. Furthermore, if the Create PDFoption
is selected, the file is converted to a PDF, including metadata.
Output
Either one of 3 formats is output from this task:
l An EMFjob format
l A RAWjob format
l A PDF with attached metadata.
