Set automatic export options in the Automatic page of 'Configuration' dialogue; see also Exporting files automatically.
Input files specification
| 1. | Fill in the Input files specification edit box (see Filenames and wildcards for more information and examples) or leave this box blank if you want all files to be converted. |
| 2. | To engage automatic file export, tick the Check every box and set the time interval. A clock icon  will be placed on the toolbar to show that file conversion is operating automatically.
If you want to see the PCL pages on screen while files are automatically being created, select View. If you do not turn this on, the toolbar will still show the progress of the conversion. |
| 3. | To rename processed file, select Rename.
To delete the input file instead of renaming it, click Delete. |
| 4. | Set up a 'Drag and Drop' action: when a file or group of files is dropped onto the EscapeE shortcut icon you may choose to View the file(s) or Export them. |
Output files specification
| 1. | Specify the output filename or folder in the Output file specification edit box: see Filenames and wildcards for more information and examples. The output file will be named automatically and stored in the program folder. |
| 2. | Some formats allow LPR output to be selected at this stage; to use TCP/IP input or LPR output, see Setting TCP/IP options - the LPR output box will then be checked. |
| 3. | Select Create new folder if necessary if you have specified a folder that does not yet exist. |
| 4. | Check Rename output when complete to defer the naming of the output files until all processing is finished. This avoids the possibility of creating incomplete temporary files with the specified output names. |
| 5. | If the Do not overwrite files box is checked, a suffix of "#1", "#2" etc. is added to the filenames. |
Setting other automatic options
| 1. | Tick Run the associated program after creating the file if you want the file to be opened immediately using your preferred program. |
| 2. | To automate updating EscapeE regularly, tick the Check the RedTitan website each month for updates box. |
| 3. | To close the dialogue, you may choose to:
Click OK to use them for the current session.
Click the Save button to retain these settings after you close EscapeE.
Click the Save as button to save these settings to a file.
Click Shortcut... to create a Shortcut icon which uses all the options you have set: - see Shortcuts - the easy way to construct a command line. |
