Common Errors
Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and all tasks
because they are related more to the system than to PReS itself. Some examples would be W3813, W3830,
W3991, W4005. These correspond to issues such as not having any space to write files, permission errors
on folders or files, etc.
Comments Tab
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a single text area (Task comments)that lets you
write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with the OKbutton,
and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
PReS Fax
PReS Fax output tasks are used to make request to PReS Fax, which creates faxes and sends them to a
faxing program.
In addition to the job-specific PReS Fax properties you configure in the task’s Properties dialog box, there
are configurable options common to all PReS Fax outputs processed by a given computer (See "PReS Fax
Plug-In Preferences" on page646). Note that those options are specific to each PReS Fax installation and
that they are immediately applied.
Input
Any data file with a valid Emulation. Metadata is optional and can be used to specify the fax number and
information to send the file. Alternatively, a TIFFfile in the proper page size and compression (CCITT Group
4) can be used.
Processing
If a data file with metadata is used, the data file is merged with the selected PlanetPress Design document,
converted into a multi-page TIFF file with CCITTGroup 4 compression, and sent to the PReS Fax host
specified in the properties. If the file is a TIFFfile in the proper format and the "Pass-through"option is
selected, no processing is done, the file is sent as-is.
