with a Printer Queue Output task, for example, the second time the Loop action task will
be performed, it will use the PostScript file generated by the output task.
On Error Tab
For a description of the options on the On Error tab see "Using the On Error tab" on page92.
Miscellaneous Tab
The Miscellaneous 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.
The tab also provides an option to highlight the task in "The Process area" on page829 with
the default color, set in the Preferences (see "General appearance preferences" on page716),
or the color selected or defined under Highlight color on this tab.
To revert the selected highlight color to the default color, open this tab, turn the Highlight option
off and close the dialog with the OK button; then turn highlighting back on.
Highlighting can also be turned on and off via the task's contextual menu and with the Highlight
button on the View ribbon.
Run Script
Run Script tasks are used to run scripts that typically perform some kind of processing on the
job file received by the task. Scripts are often simpler to write than programs added with the
External Program action (see "External Program" on page400). However, they can be slower
to execute.
The Run Script task can be used either as an Action or a Condition. When dragging and
dropping a Run Script task on a given process, you select whether to use this task as an Action
or a Condition from a contextual menu.
For more information on scripts, what languages are supported and how to write scripts and
conditions, please see the related chapter, "Using Scripts" on page135.
