Fax
C++/ActiveX Quick Tip
Retrieving the number of
lines of a fax transmission
To get the length of a received fax, use the
GetObjFromReceiveQueue() function to get the received fax
from the queue. The function returns a FAXOBJ type (a fax
object).
Use the GetParam() function of the fax object to retrieve
the information about the received fax.
TSFaxParam sFaxParam;
FaxObj->GetParam( sFaxParam );
The TSFaxParam structure contains information such as the
Resolution, Width, Length, Compression, etc.
HTTP
Printing Support announced for the Black Ice Printer Drivers
In addition to
supporting a variety of advanced imaging features such as
watermarks, annotations, Bates numbering, etc., the Black
Ice printer drivers also support features found in “common"
physical printer drivers, such as the ability to share and
print over a network. Black Ice Software is proud to
announce additional remote printing functionality in the
Black Ice Printer Drivers in the form of HTTP Printing.
HTTP Printing is the ability of a printer to be accessed,
printed to and controlled remotely via an HTTP connection.
In order to take advantage of the powerful HTTP Printing
feature, you must first perform a few steps:
1.)Install the Black Ice Printer Driver on a PC with IIS
installed and configured.
2.)Switch the Black Ice Printer Driver to use the RAW data
type
3.)Share the Black Ice Printer Driver so it can be accessed.
After completing the three above steps, the Black Ice
Printer Driver is ready to be used for HTTP Printing. To
access the Black Ice Printer Driver through HTTP, you can
use the following steps:
-
Open a web browser
-
Enter the following line in the address bar, substituting
either the PC name or IP Address for PCNAME:
http://PCNAME/Printers.
This will display a screen similar to
FIGURE 1.
You can connect to the Black Ice printer driver by clicking
on the appropriate printer link, for example Black Ice
Color. Connecting to the printer will allow you to print to
the shared printer from your client PC.
Using the Web interface you can view the status of the
printer and its print jobs, jobs can be paused/cancelled and
more. FIGURE 2 is a sample of what the HTTP printing
interface looks like.
