About EscapeE conversion resources
RedTitan's EscapeE is a program which interprets print files such as Hewlett-Packard PCL and HP-GL, Adobe® PostScript and PDF files, Epson ESC/P and ESC/P 2 files and IBM® AFP datastream (please contact RedTitan for more details). EscapeE can also read a number of image formats such as TIFF, PNG, JPEG, PCX, DCX, BMP and Xerox® IMG.
The program has five main uses:
on screen and printing sample pages. This means you can view the layout of a job before production printing. |
to other formats. Some of these formats are useful for archiving documents: e.g. TIFF (Tagged Image File Format), PDF (Portable Document Format), plain text or the new format that Windows Vista® defaults to: XPS (XML paper specification). Other formats are useful for transferring jobs to other printers, e.g. IBM® IPDS and AFP images, Xerox® IMG images, PostScript files and FDL (Forms Description Language). You can export files manually or set up EscapeE to run continuously, converting new files as they arrive. EscapeE supports TCP/IP input from a specified port and can send its PDF output via LPR. EscapeE also can be controlled remotely from a standard browser using the RedTitan nQ server. |
This is done by marking out the position of the data fields on a page. EscapeE then saves the data in those positions into comma separated values (CSV), extensible markup language (XML) or Plain Text. |
at lower resolution or with different compression or rotation. |
from several files. EscapeE uses a control file to combine selected parts of print files and/or images into a single document, then export it in the format of your choice. |
The functions available depend on which version of the program you have installed:
| • | EscapeE Viewer has full viewing features. |
| • | EscapeE Transformer has in addition many of the conversion format options. |
| • | EscapeE Professional has all the features of the Transformer plus the ability to automate conversion. |
