Protocol options group
l
Log all Winsock and network messages: Select to have PReS Workflow keep a
log of all Winsock and other network messages that occur through the LPD service.
These are messages related to jobs being sent from other systems through LPR,
and being received by PReS Workflow via LPD. Since these messages can
accumulate, you have the option of not logging them. Log files are kept in the Log
folder, which is located in the PReS Workflow installation folder. They are named
lpddate.log, where date is the current date in the yyyymmdd numerical format. Note
that changing this option also affects the log displayed in the PReS Workflow
Service Console.
l
No source port range restriction: Select to remove any restrictions on the port of
the LPR client computer that PReS Workflow accepts data files from. Clear to have
PReS Workflow only accept data files sent from ports ranging between 721 and 731
on the LPR client computer.
l
Strict RFC 1179 control file: Select to disable control file extensions the LPD
service implements for some flavors of UNIX and LPR. This enforces the basic Line
Printer Daemon protocol.
l
Enable BSD compatibility mode: Select to have the LPD service emulate a BSD
UNIX server. Although RFC 1179 is supposed to describe the BSD LPD/LPR
protocol, and the LPD input in PReS Workflow is RFC1179-compliant, there are
some incompatibilities between the RFC and the BSD implementation. This option
compensates for some of these incompatibilities. If you are not sure about the
source of your output, clear this option.
l
LDP settings group
l
Time-out (sec): Set the time in seconds the process waits for the transfer of bytes in
the data file before ending the transfer of this file. The default value for the Time-out
property is 7200 seconds (2 hours). On a time-out, partially received data files are
not passed to the rest of the process; the LPD input resets and is ready to receive
further data files. Log messages include the time-out duration.
