PlanetPress Design document to be associated with a Workflow printer queue (see
"Associating PlanetPress Design documents and PReS printer queues" on page113).
For more information about printing see "About printing" on page103.
Input
Any data file.
Processing and output
If the data file is in a valid emulation (see "About data emulation" on page58) and a
PlanetPress Design document is selected, the data file and document are merged to produce a
PostScript output. The output may be an Optimized PostScript Stream or a Printer Centric
stream (data file + trigger).
If no document was selected, the job file is sent as-is to the selected Printer Queue.
Whether the queue will properly output depends on the capabilities of the queue and its target.
For example, sending a JPG job file to an FTP or Send to Folder printer queue will simply
place the file in the destination. Sending this same file to an LPR or Windows queue will
produce no output as these queues expect valid PostScript.
Task properties

l
Queues: Select the queues to which you want to send the output (see "PReS Workflow
printer queues" on page105).
l
Documents: Select None if you want the job file to be printed as is.
Select a specific PlanetPress Design document (see "PlanetPress Design documents"
on page43) if you want all the jobs to be printed with that document. To use a document
chosen at run-time for each job, enter a dynamic document name using a combination of
text, variables and data selections. To enable the dynamic document name box, click
inside it. To disable it, press Enter. Note that in the later case, you must be certain that the
documents that will be chosen at run-time will in fact be available locally or at all the
selected printer. Note that PReS Workflow will not specify a given document version
number, so the latest version will be used by default. To specify a given document version
number, you can use an Add Document action task instead of a Printer Queue Output
task, and then use an Add / Remove Text Action task to add a version number in the
