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 OKbutton, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Windows Print Converter
Windows Print Converter action tasks are designed to convert Windows print files into Line
Printer files, that can then be used in a variety of other PlanetPress Workflow tasks. Typically,
Windows Print Converter action tasks are located below WinQueue input tasks (note that the
latter include options specific to Windows Print Converter action tasks).
The full conversion process is performed in two phases:
l The Windows print file is first converted into an XML file in which each printable character
appears with its horizontal and vertical coordinates.
l The XML file is then converted into a standard Line Printer file.
Note
Although it is more common to perform both phases in a single pass, each phase can be performed
selectively, as required.
Input
A print job in EMFformat, generally captured from a WinQueue input task.
Processing
The EMFjob is converted into a text-only, Line Printer Emulation data file.
Output
ALine Printer file. Metadata, job infos and variables are not changed.
