For each printer added in the [PlotDevices] section, a section is required to hold the definitions for that printer.
To define each remote printer:
In the Image.ini file:
1. Add a section called [printer-name], where printer-name is the name of the printer defined in the [PlotDevices] section.
2. In the [printer-name] section, add the following required keynames:
· Exec=, followed by the directory path and command to invoke the print. This command is supplied by you or an integrator. For details, see Creating a remote printing program.
· Scalelist=, followed by a comma-delimited list of paper sizes available on the printer. Note that Imagenation will not scale images to this size.
· Scale=, followed by one of the paper sizes from the "Scalelist" keyname. Imagenation will automatically update this field with the last selected paper size.
3. Add the following keynames as needed. They are not required.
· Use the Banner= keyname to enter a text string that is sent to the print command. Imagenation does not add this string to the image.
· Use the Format= keyname to specify the file format to write the print file in. If no format value is entered, the default is format 1 (CALS Type 1). File format list
· Set the Timestamp= keyname to Y to include a timestamp on the print, and to N to have no timestamp.
