Options
l 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 LPR output.
These messages are related to jobs being sent from PReS Workflow to an LPD or
LPD-compatible printer. Logs are kept in a Log folder relative to your install folder.
They are named lprdate.log, where date is the current date in yyyymmdd numerical
format. Note that changing this option also affects the log displayed in the PReS
Workflow Service Console.
l
Print banner pages between jobs: Select to print banner pages between each job
processed and output from the LPR output. The banner page includes details of the
job being printed, including the job file name and the user name on the host
computer running the LPR output client.
l
No source port range restriction: Select to remove any restrictions on the port
PReS Workflow uses to send the job file via the LPR/LPD protocol. Clear to restrict
the port used to send the job to one in the range between 721 and 731.
l Print up to: Select the maximum number of files that can be simultaneously sent to
print by the LPR output service.
l Error handling group
l
Max. retry period: Select the maximum time period, in hours, within which PReS
Workflow attempts to dispatch the job using the LPR output before giving up. Note
that entering a maximum retry period of 0 hours disables retries altogether.
l
Retry interval: Select the interval, in seconds, at which time PReS Workflow
attempts to dispatch the job using the LPR output. This takes place only within the
Max. retry period, after which the attempt ends.
l
Keep a backup when error occurs: Select to move the job file to a local folder
relative to your install folder called pplpr\error in the case of an error.
l LPR settings group
l
Time-out: Set the time in seconds the PReS Workflow process waits when it sends
jobs using the LPR protocol. The default value for the Time-out property is 7200
seconds (2 hours). On a time-out, partially sent data files are not passed to the rest
of the process; the LPR output resets and is ready to send further data files. Log
messages include the time-out duration.
