Properties
General tab
l Queues: Select the queues to which you want to send the output.
l Documents: Select None if you want the data to print as is. Select a specific PlanetPress Design
document 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, and
then use an Add / Remove Text action task to add a version number in the document trigger (for more
information, refer to the Control Versions of a Document section of the PlanetPress Design User
Guide).
Advanced tab
l Copies: Enter the number of copies to be printed outputs. Since this is a variable property box, you
may enter a fixed value or use a data selection. Note that load balancing options have an impact on
how copies are printed as well as on the total number of printed copies.
l Load balancing group (Options from this group are only valid if multiple printer queues were
selected.)
l
No balancing: No load balancing means that all the selected printer queues get everything.
l
Split job: Split job means that jobs will be split according to the criteria set in the Page delimiter
group (see below) and that an equal share of the job file will be sent to each one of the selected
printer queues. For a hundred page job, for example, if two queues were selected, each one will
get 50 pages.
l
Queue balancing: Queue balancing means that jobs will be split according to the criteria set in
the Page delimiter group (see below) and that a share of the job file corresponding to each
printer’s capacity (as set in the PReS Workflow Printer Queue Options dialog box—See "Print
Using a Windows Driver" on page520) will be sent to each one of the selected printer queues. If
two queues were selected, the first one sending jobs to a printer that prints 500 pages a minute,
and the second one sending jobs to a smaller printer printing 50 pages a minute, the first queue
will receive roughly ten times more pages than the second one.
