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.
Printer Queue Output
Printer Queue Output tasks dispatch jobs to selected printer queues. Note that you must have created at
least one printer queue before you can add your first Printer Queue Output task. Furthermore, to print the
data file with a PlanetPress Design document, you must have associated at least one document with a
printer queue.
You can select multiple queues in a Printer Queue Output tasks and choose exactly how your jobs will be
dispatched to the selected printers.
Input
Any data file.
Processing
If the data file is in a valid Emulation and a 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 the data file is any file and the Pass-through option is selected, the 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 JPGfile in pass-through to an FTPor Send to Folder output will simply place the file in
the destination. Sending this same file to an LPRor WinQueue output will produce no output as these
queues expect valid PostScript.
