yyyymmdd numerical format. Note that changing this option also affects the log
displayed in the PlanetPress Workflow Service Console.
l
Print banner pages between jobs: Select to print banner pages between each job
processed and output from the LPR output. The banner page includes details of the
job being printed, including the job file name and the user name on the host
computer running the LPR output client.
l
No source port range restriction: Select to remove any restrictions on the port
PlanetPress Workflow uses to send the job file via the LPR/LPD protocol. Clear to
restrict the port used to send the job to one in the range between 721 and 731.
l Print up to: Select the maximum number of files that can be simultaneously sent to
print by the LPR output service.
l Error handling group
l
Max. retry period: Select the maximum time period, in hours, within which
PlanetPress Workflow attempts to dispatch the job using the LPR output before
giving up. Note that entering a maximum retry period of 0 hours disables retries
altogether.
l
Retry interval: Select the interval, in seconds, at which time PlanetPress Workflow
attempts to dispatch the job using the LPR output. This takes place only within the
Max. retry period, after which the attempt ends.
l
Keep a backup when error occurs: Select to move the job file to a local folder
relative to your install folder called pplpr\error in the case of an error.
l LPR settings group
l
Time-out: Set the time in seconds the PlanetPress Workflow process waits when it
sends jobs using the LPR protocol. The default value for the Time-out property is
7200 seconds (2 hours). On a time-out, partially sent data files are not passed to the
rest of the process; the LPR output resets and is ready to send further data files. Log
messages include the time-out duration.
l
Polling interval (seconds): Select the period of time—the default is 4 seconds—for
which PlanetPress Workflow is to wait when it finishes dispatching jobs to the LPR
printer queues before polling the LPR output folder again.
