Print to file

Post by Mpanal »


I want to use a fax application (ZETAFAX) for send reports by fax.

This application on their API, can use streams created using Epson LQ1000 printer driver. If I print to a file using this driver from Stimulsoft, I have two issues:

First, the final fax result is smaller than the original, like the application of 85-90% of smaller zoom. I can not see the intermediate result of the print to file, but exporting from stimulsoft to image like bmp, jpg, gif or others, the result is the same smaller zoom.

Second, the print function ask for a filename on a Windows dialog box on every print.

For the second, I see a solution that consist on a demon checking for the dialog and filling it, but not is a pretty solution.

Do you have any solution for this questions?

Thanks
Ivan

Hello,

In the next prerelease build the export to the TIFF format with CCITT G3/G4 compression will be added. This format should be recognized with majority of fax programs. Also the ImageResolution property and some improvements will be added.

Thank you.
