2018.1

Input
This task can accept either a data file with a correct emulation (see "About data emulation" on
page52), which is then merged to a PlanetPress Design document, or a PDF file which is to be
printed natively.
Processing
Either the data file is merged with the document if one is selected, or the PDF File is printed
natively through the PReS Printer driver (which prints the same as if one were to open the PDF
in a PDF reader and print it).
Task properties
General Tab
l
Printer queue: Select the queues to which you want to send the output. Note that this is a
variable property box, so you can use various schemes to use printer queue names that
change with each job at run-time.
l
Properties: Click to change the current printer queue properties. Note that PReS
Workflow generates 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 PReS 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.
l
Job owner name: Enter the job owner name. You may use a PReS Workflow variable.
Note
This option is not functional when natively printing PDFs (without a PlanetPress
Design document).
l
Documents: Select a specific PlanetPress Design document if you want all the jobs to be
printed with that document.
