l
DPI: Enter the dots per inch (dpi) resolution of the output image. This property is enabled for all output
types except PDF.
l
Color depth: Enter the color depth of the output image in bits per pixel (bpp). The color depth is
measured in bits, because each pixel of the output image can be described with a varied number of
bits. A higher bit number allows for more colors. It also increases the image file size. A 1-bit color
depth produces monochrome images. 8-bits produce grayscale images (in PlanetPress Design you
can have 8-bit color images, but these are reduced to grayscale if you select 8-bit here), while 24-bits
produce full color images. For JPEG output, you cannot select a monochrome (1 bpp) color depth. For
TIFF G3 and TIFF G4, monochrome (1 bpp) is the only Color depth option you can select. This
property is enabled for all output types except PDF.
l
Multi-page: Select to generate a single file containing multiple pages. When this option is not
selected, PlanetPress Image creates a file for each page included in the output file. This property is
enabled for all output types except PDF and JPEG.
l Add page number: Select to put a page number on each page included in the output file. This option
goes with the Multiple TIFF option and is only visible if either the AutoStore, DocAccel or KYOcapture
format is selected.
l
Archive output: Select to archive generated files. If you select this option, you must enter a folder path
in the Archive folder box and a name in the File name box.
l
Send Email: Select to send the generated file via email. You enter the emailing properties in the
Login, Recipients, and Attachment(s) tabs. Note that the generated file will only be sent if you select
the Attach output file(s) option in the Attachment(s) tab.
l
Archive folder: Enter the path of the folder to which output files generated by this task are to be
archived. PDF index files (PDI and XML) are also put in this folder. This edit box is enabled when the
Archive output option is selected.
l
Filename : Enter the name of the output files generated by this task. To prevent each new file from
overwriting the previous one, you should use variable names. As with any variable property box, you
can use any combination of text, variables and data selections. When multiple files are generated for a
single job (such as for multiple TIFFs), each file name includes a sequence number, such as in
Invoice0, Invoice1, Invoice2. If you use file name masks that include dots, such as Statement.%y.@
(1,1,1,1,25,KeepCase,Trim) or Job.%f, for example, you must add quotation marks at the beginning
and end of the file name (“Statement.%y.%m.@(1,1,1,1,25,KeepCase,Trim)” or ”Job.%f”). Otherwise,
when the file is saved, anything appearing after the last dot is replaced by the file’s extension
characters (and the file name thus becomes Statement.2005.pdf instead of
Statement.2005.255842.pdf, or Job.tif instead of Job.544872.tif). Failing to add the quotation marks
may result in files being overwritten.
