How to use the docPrint printer?

 

Actually, docPrint is not only a printer. It can also act as a converter which supports various formats. But this article will mainly show you how to use it as a printer. If you don’t have this software, please go to download it at https://www.verypdf.com. After you install this software in your computer, let’s go to see how easily you can use it.

Step 1: Open the file

Open the file or the web page you want to print, here I would like to take THE web page https://www.verypdf.com/artprint/index.html as an example.

Step 2:  Press “Ctrl”+ “P”, you will see a prompt as following:

Step 3: Select “docPrint” on the drop-down menu of “name”.

If you want to print all the pages of a single file on A4, click on “OK” button; Other wise, click on “Properties” button to set page size, paper range, page order, color, etc. Then, you will see another prompt as following:

Step 4: Select more advanced options.

You can select various layout options by clicking on “Advanced” button. For example, if you want to print two pages, or six pages on one piece of page, then you can select the number on the “Page Per Sheet” drop-down menu; or if you hate to waste ink, you can click on the “Paper/Quality” button, and select the “Black &White” option under “Color”. For the sake of concise, I will not introduce all the advanced choices in detail here, but I will write another article to introduce them in another article.

Step 5: Preview

After setting page size, color, etc., click on the “OK” button. A few seconds later, the icon of the printer on the taskbar as below will disappear, which means the printer is ready for printing. You can preview the pages, and set some options before you really print your file. For example you can choose to print a watermark on paper, and select the page margins like small, medium or none.

Step 6: Print

Click on the icon marked by red circle, then, select the name of the real printer driver on the drop-down menu of the new prompt as below, then you can print you file.

You can convert an image of emf to postscript format

An emf file is a Windows Enhanced MetaFile which is a revised version of WMF (Windows MetaFile) format. EMF has more commands than WMF. EMF format supports to store images in vector mode, which means the vector components will not lose their displaying quality while being zoomed in. The two snapshots below show the difference of two pictures stored in EMF and GIF format, respectively. In the upper one that shows an image stored in emf format, we can see that the text “VeryPDF” is clear and sharp though the size is enlarged. In the bottom picture, obviously the text is blurred and pixelated with losing much image quality.

Another two snapshots show the emf file even has a better display quality than the one in gif when being presented in normal size.

color printing VeryPDF PCL convertor

Hello,

Just a few weeks a go you helped me with selecting the right fonts for printing towards my TNT-printer.  This seems to be right now.

Next challenge is printing with VeryPDF PCL Tool in color mode. I ‘ve read that VeryPDF supports PCL-commands with color.

I just want to print some text in a red , green or black. Just with a simple Pallete, a few colors are enough.

I read something  about pallete’s, simple color RGB etc., this is the pcl code,
ESC*p0P = push/pop pallette
ESC*r3U = simple color rgb
ESC*v1S = colorcode
Resulting in this kind of PCL code:
CHR(27)+"&p0P"+CHR(27)+"&r3U"+CHR(27)+"&v2S"

I typed it in a few different ways, but all the time the text is printed black. I just want to print some text in another color.

Do you have any suggestions about using PCL code for printing text in a different foregroundcolor?  bpl13212.pdf, I already studied this document, but no working solution was in it.

Thanks for your suggestions.
=================================

You can create a Word document, insert some characters with different foreground color, print it to a PCL Printer to create PCL file, you will get correct pcl code from output PCL file.
