EscapeE configuration symbols

Top  Previous  Next

The default configuration is stored in a number of environment symbols which will normally be set from the program's configuration or main (export) menus.

Most of these symbols are stored in the [PCLVIEW] section of the RT.INI file and have the same names as the corresponding command-line option. For example

INPUT=PCL

IMAGECACHE=12

The following symbols are in the main section of the RT.INI file:

DRIVERDEFAULTS

Set DRIVERDEFAULTS=Y to ignore any paper type, duplexing and/or bin selection in the original PCL file and use the defaults from the Windows printer driver setup dialogue instead.

PACK

TIFF options are set up as flag bits, see Exporting TIFF images. The default (i.e. no bits set) is byte aligned.

  16 = Bit reversal
  64 = EOL
128 = Single strip
256 = carry odd bits over to next row

REPORT

EscapeE may be set up to put an error summary into the error log when running in batch or automatic mode: set REPORT=Y
This gives more details of errors such as missing fonts.

RTLANG

Set the language version of EscapeE:
33 = French
34 = Spanish
44 = English
49 = German
55 = Portuguese.

RTPCLLIB

The folder where the resident fonts are stored.

RTPCLDL

The folder where the downloaded fonts will be stored.

TTLIB

The filename of the character recognition database.
