Remote printing from Imagenation allows you to use a printer that is not fully supported by Windows.
How remote printing works in Imagenation
1. The user clicks OK in the Print dialog box (File
Print).
2. Imagenation produces a print from the active document window, based on the settings in the Print dialog box. Imagenation prints the document to a raster file in the format and into the temporary directory defined in the Image.ini file. (A separate file is written for each page of multipage documents.)
3. Imagenation then writes a control file for the printer to interpret. The control file defines the name of the printer, the selected paper size, and the name of the document to be printed.
4. Imagenation prepares a command line consisting of the command name defined in the Exec keyname in the [printer-name] section of the Image.ini file.
5. The command is sent to the operating system and the image is printed using the program created by you or by an integrator.
Configuring remote printing requires two steps:
1. Creating a remote printing program
2. Adding a remote printer to the Image.ini file
