Workflow installation folder. They are named lpddate.log, where date is the current date in the
yyyymmdd numerical format. Note that changing this option also affects the log displayed in the
PlanetPress Workflow Service Console.
l
No source port range restriction: Select to remove any restrictions on the port of the LPR client
computer that PlanetPress Workflow accepts data files from. Clear to have PlanetPress
Workflow only accept data files sent from ports ranging between 721 and 731 on the LPR client
computer.
l
Strict RFC 1179 control file: Select to disable control file extensions the LPD service
implements for some flavors of UNIX and LPR. This enforces the basic Line Printer Daemon
protocol.
l
Enable BSD compatibility mode: Select to have the LPD service emulate a BSD UNIX server.
Although RFC 1179 is supposed to describe the BSD LPD/LPR protocol, and the LPD input in
PlanetPress Workflow is RFC1179-compliant, there are some incompatibilities between the
RFC and the BSD implementation. This option compensates for some of these incompatibilities.
If you are not sure about the source of your output, clear this option.

l
Time-out (sec): Set the time in seconds the process waits for the transfer of bytes in the data file
before ending the transfer of this file. The default value for the Time-out property is 7200 seconds
(2 hours). On a time-out, partially received data files are not passed to the rest of the process; the
LPD input resets and is ready to receive further data files. Log messages include the time-out
duration.
Serial Input Plug-In Preferences
Serial input plug-in preferences control certain functions of the PlanetPress Serial Capture service, which in
turn has a direct impact on all Serial input tasks performed by PlanetPress Workflow on a given computer.

l
Serial port: Select the port of the computer where the Serial input is connected to (COM1
through COM8).
l
Baud rate: Select the baud rate of the Serial input. The baud rate is the number of bits
transferred per second. The transferred bits include the start bit, the data bits, the parity bit (if
defined), and the stop bits.
