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 OKbutton,
and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Print Using a Windows Driver
Printing Using a Windows Driver output tasks are used to send jobs to a local or network printer without
going through a PlanetPress Workflow printer queue. Since the printer driver itself is not necessarily
postscript, we cannot optimize the print file, so using a Windows Driver Output will always generate a larger
and slower print job. However, this output can work with non-postscript printers such as HPPCLprinters.
The Print Using a Windows Driver output taskrequires a PlanetPress Workflow license, otherwise this
plugin will cause a watermark.
Note
This type of output task does not support PDFtransparency and duo-tone features, so you should not
use it with PlanetPress Design documents that use those features.
Input
This task can accept either a data file with a correct Emulation, which is then merged to a PlanetPress
Design document, or a PDFfile which is to be printed natively.
Processing
Either the data file is merged with the document if one is selected, or the PDFFile is printed natively through
the PlanetPress Printer driver (which prints the same as if one were to open the PDFin a PDFreader and
print it).
