Common Errors
Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and
all tasks because they are related more to the system than to PlanetPress itself. Some
examples would be W3813, W3830, W3991, W4005. These correspond to issues such as not
having any space to write files, permission errors on folders or files, etc.
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.
PlanetPress Fax
PlanetPress Fax output tasks are used to make request to PlanetPress Fax, which creates
faxes and sends them to a faxing program.
In addition to the job-specific PlanetPress Fax properties you configure in the task’s
Properties dialog box, there are configurable options common to all PlanetPress Fax outputs
processed by a given computer (See "PlanetPressFax plugin preferences" on page705). Note
that those options are specific to each PlanetPress Fax installation and that they are
immediately applied.
Input
Any data file with a valid Emulation. Metadata is optional and can be used to specify the fax
number and information to send the file. Alternatively, a TIFFfile in the proper page size and
compression (CCITT Group 4) can be used.
Processing
If a data file with metadata is used, the data file is merged with the selected PlanetPress Design
document, converted into a multi-page TIFF file with CCITTGroup 4 compression, and sent to
the PlanetPress Fax host specified in the properties. If the file is a TIFFfile in the proper format
and the "Pass-through"option is selected, no processing is done, the file is sent as-is.
