l
No balancing: No load balancing means that all the selected printer queues get everything.
l
Split job: Split job means that jobs will be split according to the criteria set in the Page delimiter
group (see below) and that an equal share of the job file will be sent to each one of the selected
printer queues. For a hundred page job, for example, if two queues were selected, each one will
get 50 pages.
l
Queue balancing: Queue balancing means that jobs will be split according to the criteria set in
the Page delimiter group (see below) and that a share of the job file corresponding to each
printer’s capacity (as set in the PlanetPress Workflow Printer Queue Options dialog box—See
"Print Using a Windows Driver" on page521) will be sent to each one of the selected printer
queues. If two queues were selected, the first one sending jobs to a printer that prints 500 pages
a minute, and the second one sending jobs to a smaller printer printing 50 pages a minute, the
first queue will receive roughly ten times more pages than the second one.
l
Round robin: Round robin means that complete jobs will be sent in turn to each one of the
selected printer queues. For example, Queue_1 will get the first job, Queue_2 will get the second
job, and so forth.
l
Page delimiter group:These options are enabled when you choose Split job or Queue balancing
load balancing options. They are used to determine how each job is to be split before being sent to the
printer queues.
l
Form feed: Cuts the job file at every form feed character.
l
Lines per page: Cuts the job file after the specified number of lines.
l
Keyword: Cuts the job file after each occurrence of the specified keyword (string of characters).
l Custom Trigger: Enter the code of the trigger that will be sent with the data to the selected printer
queues. Note that this box is only enabled if None was selected in the General tab.
l Add job information to the document:Includes the current JobInfos to the job output. This option is
only available if a document was selected in the General tab.
l Use job name as Title:Uses the Job Name set in the Printer Queue's General tab, as the job's title,
set as %%Title in the postscript's job.
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog" on page666.
By default, any action task, branch, splitter or condition that generates an error will simply be ignored, and
the task just under it (not within a branch)will be given control of the job file without any modification. Any
initial input task that generates an error will stop the process from running as a whole, and output tasks will
