Print to file settings

Print to File tab

Printer output can be redirected to a file. This can be useful when sending print jobs to shared directories to be viewed in a text editor rather than using paper to print multiple copies. This tab is only available if you select the Print to File - Redirect Print Output to File check box in the Printer tab.

Options
  • Output Filename: If selected, allows the user to enter a target file name in the adjacent edit box.
  • Prompt for Filename: If selected, prompts the user for a target file name when the job is printed.
  • Base Output File Name: If selected, BlueZone automatically creates target file names based on the base name entered in the adjacent edit box.
  • Output Directory: Displays the destination name for print output.
    • Browse: Click to specify the directory and path where the print files are to be written.
  • Append Data to File: If checked, BlueZone appends new print data to the end of the specified file rather than overwriting it.
