You can send your reports directly to email or Word. You can convert your reports to PDF without installing any PDF virtual printer, because DOSPrinter has a lightweight and efficient PDF generator built in.
DOSPrinter is a win. C++ program. It is windowless to keep it simple and discreet. It is small in size, robust and runs very fast. The switches and the filename are not required in the command line when /TRAY switch is present.
In that case you can specify everything in the Configurator dialog (right mouse click on the icon) later, at any time. Everything stated for /R switch, also applies here. You can specify tray icon tooltip text in single quotes (/TRAY'my text') that is handy for icon identification when you have multiple instances in systray./RStart in resident mode. What . After the file(s) has changed, DOSPrinter prints out this changed file(s). Multiple instances of DOSPrinter are allowed with /R switch. Your application could print on several different printers this way: start more instances of DOSPrinter /R, each one with a different input file (or different folder) and a different destination printer specified. It's up to your application to provide different filenames for input files.
The switch /R is very similar to /TRAY. If any previous instance of DOSPrinter exists, an error message pops up and the second DOSPrinter instance does not start./UUnload instance(s) of DOSPrinter from the memory.
If used together with /IDn switch, unloads only the instance(s) with the specified ID number/IDn. Optionally specify the ID for the instance.
This switch can be combined with /R /TRAY and /U switches./DELDelete the file after printing it. It deletes the file permanently (does not move the file in the recycle bin)./nnforce nn lines per page (nn is a number).
For example the /7. Fanfold page size (perforated German Std Fanfold), which is 1. A4 etc). This switch gets disabled if any kind of . This is useful when the printer driver pops up with a print- status- monitor window, which a lot of modern printer drivers (mostly inkjets) do. This could be very annoying when printing from a full- screen DOS window. In that case, the printer's popup window takes the focus from the DOS window, which gets minimized, and the user has to take the focus back manually, by pressing Alt+Tab. This switch prevents other windows from taking the focus in a period of time.
Increase this number for more efficient guarding of the focus, or decrease it for faster DOSPrinter response. If n is omitted, default value is 7 seconds./GOFFSwitch off interpreting of the ASCII graphical characters (forces letters instead of lines and boxes)./GONForce graphical characters (lines and box drawing). Optional: install MS Line. Draw font for optimal interpretation of graphical characters./SELDisplay the . Note that there is no space between SEL and 'printer'. Download Prn. List utility for help with this switch.
It lists all installed printers./SEL2. Display the . The destination can be the printer, previewer or email. The previewer can be Acrobat Reader or MS Word. Optionally, combine this switch with /PDF or /RTF to specify which one to use as the previewer. Also, you can combine it with /EMAIL, /EMLUI, /SMTP or /SMUI to specify the email destination and with /SEL'printer' to specify the printer destination./EMAIL'to'Print to email instead of printer. Specify more recipients by separating them with ',' or '; ' (comma or semicolon). Include the email subject by separating it with the '\' sign (backslash).
This is the complete format for the switch: /EMAIL'recipient. See the examples for an example. Must be enclosed in singlequotes('), not doublequotes.
The printout is sent as an attachment in the EMF (enhanced metafile) format by default. If you prefer the RTF or PDF format, combine this switch with the /RTF or /PDF switch. Note that there is no space between /EMAIL and 'to'. If you find the . You can edit it with Notepad. A special form of this switch is /EMLUI'to', which brings up the email client's user interface./EMLUIPURESends an email without any input txt file provided - a pure email.
The address, subject and body is provided from DOSPrinter. Other forms of this switch are: DOSPrinter.
EMAILPURE - sends email without UI. DOSPrinter. exe /EMLUIPURE Test. Test. ini file. For the case you don.
This way DOSPrinter is running all the time. You have to change the content of the file Test. DOSPrinter will automatically create new email from it. Everything is the same as with /EMAIL switch, except it sends the mail directly to mail server over the SMTP protocol. To make it work, you need to download a plug- in program: DOSPrinter.
SMTP. exe. Unzip it and read readme. The 'to' string format is the same as explained for /EMAIL'to' switch. A special form of this switch is /SMUI'to', which brings up a . Again, 'to' is not required./SMTPPURE'to'Sends an email without any input txt file provided - a pure email. To make it work, you need to download a plug- in program DOSPrinter. SMTP. exe. Unzip it and read readme.
The 'to' string format is the same as explained for /EMAIL'to' switch. A special form of this switch is /SMUIPURE'to', which brings up a . Again, 'to' is not required. Example: DOSPrinter.
SMUIPURE'abc@def. The output file is a graphical format type (EMF format). EMF format is viewable with majority of available graphical viewers. The output filename is: input. In that case, the output filename is: input.
Example: /FILE'%date%. You can set the default viewer for RTF file extension in Windows explorer / Tools / Folder options / File Types / RTF / Change..
If you don't have MS Word, consider free MS Word Viewer. Other RTF editors/viewers are just not so rich. A special form of this switch is /RTFG. Use /RTFG when printing bit- image graphics (when using ESC* or ESCJ commands on the document). Another form is /RTP or /RTPG, which immediately prints (using Word), instead showing the document./PDFPrint to PDF. You must have installed a PDF viewer to view PDF files (Haven't you already). A special form of this switch is /PDP, which prints immediately from Adobe Reader, instead previewing the document.
If you want to create a PDF file without opening the Acrobat Reader use the switch /FILE. DOSPrinter uses its own PDF composer.
You don't need any third party PDF printer driver. Known problems and solutions related to /PDF: - You cannot use GIF images in PDF for embbedded graphics (ESC. JPG and BMP are only supported./LEFTn.
Set the left margin in inches. If you specify the margin lesser than the printer's physical (mechanical) margin is, the value of n. Note that there is no space between LEFT and n. TOPn. nn. Set the top margin in inches. If you specify the margin lesser than the printer's physical (mechanical) margin is, the value of n. Note that there is no space between TOP and n.
PAGExx. Set page size. The format can be one of these: /Page. A3, /Page. A4, /Page. A5, /Page. B4, /Page. B5, /Page. LETTER (short /Page.
LET), /Page. LEDGER (short /Page. LED), /Page. LEGAL (short /Page. LEG), /Page. EXECUTIVE (short /Page.
E), /Page. FOLIO (short /Page. F). A special form is /PAGEnnn. Xnnn where you can set the page width and height in tenths of a millimeter. For example for the page 2. Page. 20. 00x. 30.
If you are measuring in inches, multiply the inches by 2. CPInn. Sets characters per inch (vertical character pitch) initially. This are the standard CPI values: - /CPI1. CPI)- /CPI1. 5 (sets 1.
CPI)- /CPI1. 7 (sets 1. CPI, which is the samme as CONDENSED MODE)- /CPI2. CPI)Default is 1. CPI. You can also set any other nonstandard number of characters per inch. A special form of this switch is /CPIAUTO (short /CPIA) that sets the CPI automatically. If your report is large, the letters will be too small. In that case combine /CPIAUTO with /LAND (landscape).
The CPI value set by this switch is superseded with a cpi- related command (like ESCP or ESCM) present in the file./F'font'Set font name. The default font is . Click here for more details./LINESDraw graphical lines when the lines in the report are represented with minuses ('- -- -- ') or equal signs ('====='). The short version of this switch is /LIN./LANDSet landscape orientation./9.
PINPrint in 9- pin compatibility. Default is 2. 4 (or 4. Some ESC/P commands work differently for 9- pin and 2.
ESC 3, ESC A, ESC *, etc). The short form for this switch is /9. P./MODERNSelect . Default is . As you can see on the image, the old style letters are bigger and more readable. This switch affects 1.
The short form for this switch is /M./RAWPrint directly to a printer in text mode, without any interpreting or emulating. Useful with matrix printers. There are two different worlds in printing: text mode and graphical mode.
The graphical mode becomes the issue with matrix printers - they are just too slow in graph mode and DOSPrinter by default works in graph mode. On the other side, there are ink- jets and laser printers; even if some of them do have the text- mode printing capabilities, they are not so slow in graphical mode, so this switch is obsolete for this kind of printers. But, a DOS program can print directly to a matrix printer, without the need of an intermediator like DOSPrinter. So, where is the purpose for this switch?
First: If you have a text- mode printer with USB port, you cannot print directly to it from a DOS program, and this switch is one of the possible solutions for that. Cop The Recruit Ds Crack here. Second: you can use DOSPrinter as the print server for your (DOS or Win) application, and not caring about what type of printer is on the other side of DOSPrinter interface. If the printer is a matrix one, you could use the /RAW switch, and your application doesn't have to be aware of that.
