Feature Chart Online Manual

Redirect printing provides the user with the ability to print to the Black Ice Printer Driver and simultaneously redirect printing to one or more additional printers. If printer redirection is enabled, any document printed to the printer driver will be created into the specified output format, and the original document will be passed through the redirected printer(s). This provides the opportunity to print to a physical printer at the same time that the Black Ice Printer is generating an output file.

It is possible to select any available printer to redirect the printing to, including shared printers on the network. The Black Ice Printer Driver can also be forced to use the settings of the redirected printer such as Resolution, Paper size, Physical paper margins, etc.. This simple but powerful option guaranties that the redirected printing is identical to the image created by the Black Ice Printer Driver.

Available options for the redirect printing:

Enable Redirect Printing - The Enable redirect printing checkbox enables or disables the redirect printing feature to one or more printers.

Available Printers - The Available Printers list contains the printers that can be selected as redirect printers. These printers are the locally installed printers on the PC, and the shared printers through the network. Select a printer and click ‘Add’ to add it to the redirected printers list.

Selected Printers to Redirect - The Selected Printers to Redirect list contains the printers that have been selected as redirect printers. These printers aren’t listed in the Available Printers list. To remove a redirected printer, select the printer and click ‘Remove’. Label printers can also be specified as redirect printers. Black Ice printer drivers can handle certain special paper sizes required by label printers.

Enable redirect printing log - Enables or disables log file generation specifically for redirect printing. File name and location can be specified.

The Black Ice Printer Drivers can also place Bates Numbering or Watermark on both the output and redirected output.

Redirect printing is available for all Black Ice printer drivers.
