The Black Ice Printer Drivers have a built-in feature to email converted files right after the conversion. When email sending is enabled, a send email dialog will come up after every print job where the recipients can be entered. Emails can be sent silently as well as to predefined recipients.
The Email settings can be specified either on the Email tab of the Printer Manager, on the Save As dialog or on the Filename Generation tab of the Printing Preferences.
Tipp: The Printer Manager can set each Printer Driver or Agent Printer to specific recipients for different tasks or jobs.
After enabling the “Send printed document in email” checkbox on the Save As dialog tab, the ‘Email Settings’ button will become active. Before sending a converted document in an email, please make sure the email settings are configured properly. More details about email configuration can be found in the Edit Email Settings section of this manual.
When email sending is enabled, a send email dialog will come up after every print job (unless the send emails silently option is checked)
Having specified the necessary fields, click on the send option to email the message.
