l Naming convention: Select ’File name, original’ to store the file under its original file name. Select ’File
name, no extension’ to store the file without its original file name extension. Note that all characters are
converted to uppercase and that extended characters (characters, such as é, for example) are not
recommended in image file names.
l Image quality: Select the same image quality chosen in the PReS Connect documents that reference
the image files you are sending. In PReS Connect, this setting is included in the document’s resource
options.
l Image compression level: Select the level at which you want images to be compressed. Values can
range from 1 (compress up to 1% of the image’s original size) to 100 (do not compress). For example if
you set this box to 75, the Image Downloader compresses all images by 75% when it converts those
image to PostScript. The default compression level is 70%.
l Send to Virtual Drive of: Select the computers and / or printers to which the images are to be sent.
l Refresh: Click to prompt PReS Workflow to look again for available printers and computers.
l Hard disk name and path: You may enter the name and path of the hard disk to which you want to
send the images. Needless to say that this option is used if the device to which you are sending the
images has multiple hard drives.
l Print confirmation page: Select to print a confirmation page on each one of the selected printers after
an image has been successfully received.
On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on " Task Properties Dialog" on page 584.
By default, any action task, branch, splitter or condition that generates an error will simply be ignored, and
the task just under it (not within a branch)will be given control of the job file without any modification. Any
initial input task that generates an error will stop the process from running as a whole, and output tasks will
not generate output. The On Error tab can be used to overwrite the default behaviors.
l Send to Process: Check this option to send the job file to an error management process.
l Error Process drop-down:Enabled only when the Send to Process option is checked. Lists any
process of which the initial input task is the Input Error Bin task.
l Action Group:This group is disabled in the initial input tasks and defaults to Stop Process. In all
other tasks where the On Error tab is present, the following options are available:
l Ignore:The task is ignored as if it did not exist, and the job file is passed on to the next task in
the process.
l Stop Branch:If the task is in a branch of the process, the branch is stopped and the job file is
returned to the process after the branch. The branch will not produce any output.
l Stop Process:The process is stopped and no more processing is done. No further output is
produced.
