Post-printing Options
Besides starting an application after printing, there are two other post-printing options:
· Open output folder: When the printing is finished, the output folder will open automatically containing the generated document.
· Open printed document using the default viewer: When the printing is finished, the generated document will be opened by using the default viewer on the computer.
· Open printed document using the Black Ice TIFF Viewer: When the printing is finished, the generated document will be opened in the Black Ice TIFF Viewer. To generate the output in memory, instead of creating a file on the disk, the Generate Output in Memory option is automatically enabled on the File Formats tab. To generate the file on the disk, please disable the Generate Output in Memory option.
NOTE: To use the Open printed document using the Black Ice TIFF Viewer option, please make sure that the Black Ice TIFF Viewer is installed on the computer. Otherwise, the option is grayed out.
