The Document Converter Server utilizes Black Ice virtual printer drivers for the document conversion. To configure the Black Ice virtual printer drivers, open the Service Manager and click on the Printing Preferences. The printer driver features are separated into the following sections in the Printing Preferences window:
Device Settings tab - Add, delete, and redefine additional paper sizes, change the graphic resolution or the orientation.
File Formats tab - One can specify the output format of the files, change the image quality, and use additional options.
Filename Generation tab - Under the Filename Generation tab, one can save documents with specified names, change the output folder or upload converted files to the designated SharePoint servers instantly.
Start Application tab - One can specify if the driver launches an application when the user prints a document. The application can capture the printer messages or can manipulate the generated image files.
Watermark/Stamp tab - One can add a watermark or a stamp to the printed documents to add a company logo or identify the document status.
Annotation-Header-Footer tab - Enable this option to add an annotation text to the printed image. The annotation can contain user-defined text, the date and the time.
Text Output tab - The Black Ice Printer Driver is capable of extracting the text information from the printed document.
Bates Numbering tab - The Bates Numbers are printed on each page at the specified position, using the selected font and color.
Profile Manager tab - The user can save several printer settings, then simply select them later to use specific settings, without having to manually change the settings every time.
Redirect Printing tab - Use these options to specify printers for print job redirection.
OCR tab - Users can OCR documents, pages or selected areas of any digitized documents of typewritten or printed text and save into a searchable/editable text file.
