Text Output Tab


The Black Ice Printer Driver is capable of extracting the text information from the printed document.

The text extracted from the document is saved as a standard text file. The text file gets the same name as the printed document, but with the .txt extension.

When printing to a multipage file format, such as PDF or TIFF, every page will be in one single text output. When printing to a single page file format or with the Save each page as separate file option, every page will be in a separate text output file.

 

 

The Text Output has the following features:

 

Mail Merge

Disable Page numbering

Use legacy coordinates

Detect space in text

Formatting style for Plain Text, Formatted Text and for Coordinates and Style

Character Set for Unicode/Eastern character support

Line break format

Filter glyph characters

Glyph conversion method

Output directory configuration

 

 

In order to enable Text Output in Black Ice printer driver, navigate to Control Panel > Devices and Printers > right click on the Black Ice Printer Driver > Printing Preferences > navigate to the Text Output tab, and check the Generate Text Output option.

 


Example of how the Text Output works:

For Example, if a user prints a test page, the output file will look as the following:

Description: AAA11E000001

 

The generated text file contains the following lines:
