- PlanetPress Design General
Job delimiters: Enter the strings that tell PlanetPress Design the data file being retrieved through the
Serial input is complete. Each line in the Job delimiters text box is a different delimiter. You can enter as
many delimiters as you want, one per line.
Log: Select to keep a log of errors and other information related to the Serial input. Since these messages
can accumulate, you have the option of not logging them and are kept in a Log folder relative to your install
folder. They are named serdate.log, where date is the current date in the yyyymmdd numerical format.
Telnet Input
The Telnet program runs on your computer and connects your PC to a server on the network. You can then
enter commands through the Telnet program and they will be executed as if you were entering them
directly on the server console. This enables you to control the server and communicate with other servers
on the network.
General tab
Port: Enter the port number the Telnet input uses to receive data. The default telnet port is 9100.
Telnet Options tab
Log all Winsock and network messages: Select to have PlanetPress keep a log of all Winsock and other
network messages that occur from the Telnet input. These messages are related to files sent from other
systems using a telnet connection. Since these messages can accumulate, you have the option of not
logging them, and are kept in a Log folder relative to your install folder. They are named teldate.log, where
date is the current date in yyyymmdd numerical format.
Windows Queue Input
WinQueue input tasks capture print jobs sent to a Windows printer queue. The jobs may originate from a
local user or from remote users.
Printer queue: Select the Windows printer queue where PlanetPress Design obtains the input data file.
The drop-down list includes printers installed on the local host computer.
New...: Click this button to create a new Windows Printer Queue using the new Objectif Lune Printer
Driver (PS). For more on this driver, see Objectif Lune Printer Driver (PS) documentation.
Advanced: Click this button to toggle showing/hiding the Windows Queue advanced options.
Printer Properties group
Spool Print Jobs in EMF Format (Advanced Printing Features): Select to create EMF files for Windows
Print Converter action tasks (see
Windows Print Converter Action Task Properties (Page 0)). Note that this option must not be
selected when capturing generic text type data.
Spool Print Jobs in RAW Format: Select to generate PostScript data files when the Create Composed
Document Stream (with Metadata) checkbox is unchecked.
Create Composed Document Stream (with Metadatea): Checkbox to insure metadata file creation when
capturing data from the selected queue. This option will generate a PDF data file when checked. Note that this
option is only available with PlanetPress Office or PlanetPress Production.
