If the job still finishes with a Job Status of “Finished” and Exec Status “1” then the job
completed without error.
l
Instance: Used for specifying the PReS Classic Print Control instance. PReS allows up
to four instances of the same Print Control type (license dependent), and any one of those
instances can be selected here.
Selecting 1 would force Connect Workflow to use Print Control PRN1, whilst selecting 2
would launch PRN2, and so on. This is useful if you have a variety of Print Control
license speeds, and each license is assigned to a different PRNx instance. This allows
for manual load balancing, by selecting specific Print Control speeds for different jobs,
based upon your own criteria. Such as the size or urgency of the job being processed.
The default Auto option lets Connect Workflow choose whichever instance is available.
Note
It is heavily recommended that this setting be left as ‘Auto’, as PReSClassic
licenses being assigned to different PRNx instances is extremely rare.
l
Time-out: The time in seconds that the Connect Workflow waits for a response from the
PReS Print Control to make sure it is running. If Connect Workflow does not receive a
response in the allotted time it will terminate the Print Control and continue to the next
step in the workflow.
PrintShop Mail
Once you have imported PrintShop Mail documents (see " Import Documents" on page54) to
your PlanetPress Workflow workstation, you can use PrintShop Mail action tasks to output the
job file with a selected PrintShop Mail document. PrintShop Mail action tasks let you print as
well as generate PostScript or PDF files. The PrintShop Mail and PrintShop Mail 7 action
tasks are essentially the same except for the version supported:PrintShop Mail only supports
6.1 documents, while PrintShop Mail 7 supports 7.0 and 7.1 documents.
Limitations
In order for the PrintShop Mail tasks to be functional, some pre-requisites must be met:
