The Print2Email supports using environment variables in the To, Cc, Bcc fields, allowing Administrators to configure user-specific email addresses for all Print2Email users.
For using environment variables, please use ‘%’ characters around the variable name, for example, %username%
The Print2Email will substitute the variables when the Email Sending window appears, or at the time of the email sending, in case of silent email sending.
For example:
%username%@blackice.com will be substituted to John@blackice.com, if the current username is John.
