l
Time-out: Set the time in seconds the PlanetPress Workflow process waits for the
transfer of bytes in the data file before ending the transfer of this file. On a time-out,
partially received data files are not passed to the rest of the process; the Serial input
resets, ready to receive further data files.
l
Job delimiters: Enter the strings that tell PlanetPress Workflow the data file being
retrieved through the Serial input is complete. Each line in the Job delimiters text box is a
different delimiter. You can enter as many delimiters as you want, one per line. The three
default delimiters that appear are three of the most commonly recognized end of a file
delimiters.

input. Since these messages can accumulate, you have the option of not logging them.

them.

Use Job Delimiters:Check this option if your Telnet input is a single stream that can
contain multiple jobs. The box lets you enter one or more possible delimiters (separated
by a line return), either a direct string(such as %%EOJOB)or an ASCII character (\001).

PlanetPressFax plugin preferences
PlanetPress Workflow Fax plugin preferences control certain functions of the PlanetPress Fax
service, which in turn has a direct impact on all PlanetPress Workflow Fax output tasks
performed on a given computer. Bear in mind that PlanetPress Workflow Fax output tasks
included in a given PlanetPress Workflow configuration can be performed by a PlanetPress
Fax installation running on a different computer, typically one that runs only PlanetPress Fax
and the faxing application that actually sends the fax. When you change the user options on a
