Comments Tab
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a 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.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
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713). 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.
Output
ATIFF in the CCITTGroup 4 compression, and information for the FAXserver to know where
to send the file.
