Embed Annotation Settings

 

 

The Embed Annotation settings window of the Impact Fax Broadcast printer driver allows the user to add an annotation to each printed page of the document that is printed to the printer driver.  Annotations can be used to add things like the date and time of printing, etc.  The user can enable/disable this feature from this page as well as change settings relating to how watermarks are added to the pages of the document.

 

Each option is described below:

Preview annotation text

This field displays how the annotation will look based on the current settings.

 

Annotation position

These settings specify where the annotation will be printed.

The Top left, Top right, Center, Bottom left, Bottom right settings sets an origin point. The X Offset(+/-) and Y Offset (+/-) settings specify the distance of the top left corner of the annotation  from the origin point. The units used to specify these values are set with the Units radio buttons. Supported units are tenths of a mm, hundreds of an inch and pixels.

 

For example, if the Annotation’s origin point is set to Top left, the X Offset (+/-) is 100, the Y Offset (+/-) is 200 and the units are pixels, then the annotation will be printed on the page at position 100 pixels horizontally, 200 pixels vertically.

The Rotation field specifies the number of degrees the text will be rotated. This can be a positive or a negative value depending on the direction of the rotation.

This option sets the color of the annotation text. The Color palette let’s the User pick a color,  with the R, G, B options the User can specify the color by setting the Red, Green, Blue components of the color. The color components are integers in the range of 0-255.
