Comments Tab
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a text area (Task comments)that lets
you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with
the OKbutton, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
Print Using a Windows Driver
Printing Using a Windows Driver output tasks are used to send jobs to a local or network
printer without going through a PReS Workflow printer queue. Since the printer driver itself is
not necessarily postscript, we cannot optimize the print file, so using a Windows Driver Output
will always generate a larger and slower print job. However, this output can work with non-
postscript printers such as HPPCLprinters.
The Print Using a Windows Driver output taskrequires a PReS Workflow license, otherwise
this plugin will cause a watermark.
Note
This type of output task does not support PDFtransparency and duo-tone features, so
you should not use it with PlanetPress Design documents that use those features.
Input
This task can accept either a data file with a correct Emulation, which is then merged to a
PlanetPress Design document, or a PDFfile which is to be printed natively.
Processing
Either the data file is merged with the document if one is selected, or the PDFFile is printed
natively through the PReS Printer driver (which prints the same as if one were to open the
PDFin a PDFreader and print it).
