variable property box, so you can use various schemes to use printer queue names that

Properties: Click to change the current printer queue properties. Note that PlanetPress
Workflow generate the job file and hands it over with the available print options to the
Windows print driver, which takes the relay for the actual printing part, so there is no way
for your PlanetPress Workflow Tool to ensure that all the settings you make will be
applied to the printed document.
l
Job name: Enter the job’s file name. By default, the variable %f (Job File Name) is used.
You may use a different variable, but you may not use a data selection. This information
may be used for the printer’s banner page.

variable.

Metadata
If no metadata file is found, the from / to page settings from the job and the printer's properties
from the task configuration are used, with the job's settings overriding those of the printer where
applicable. If a metadata file is found, it is used to indicate which pages are printed and in
which order. Any other metadata is ignored.
