EscapeE will export PCL and PDF to a range of formats for archiving pages and for printing PCL jobs on other printers: PostScript, PDF, JPEG images, TIFF images, PNG images, DICOM images, AFP images, Xerox® IMG images, XPS, FDL forms, Plain text and if you have the option installed, IPDS.

You can use EscapeE to set up data fields in the document that can be logged in a separate file (see LOG) in addition to the original document. The Log file is particularly useful when dealing with large documents, e.g. for creating an index. You may export the document only (in PDF, PostScript, TIFF, XPS, IMG, AFP, PCL format and, if you have the option installed, IPDS), both the document and the Log file, or the Log file only (in CSV, XML or Plain text format).

A control file may be used to combine several files (PCL, TIFF or PDF formats) into one document. This document may be exported in the format that you choose.

Special transform options are available which allow you to call a plug-in. (For example, to change a field to a barcode, change the font of a field, etc.) See Using plugins.

Page numbers can be added to each page of a document when exporting. This feature allows 'Bates' numbers which have a unique prefix and a page number to be created (see About page numbers for more information).

Macros can be extracted from pages and saved, see Saving macros. Pages can be output as a macro, see PCL export options.

You can export pages manually (see Exporting files manually), or you can set up the program to convert files automatically whenever a new file arrives in a given folder; see Exporting files automatically. When exporting pages automatically you can set various features from the 'Options | Configuration' dialog, such as the time interval to check for files, the input and output filenames and the symbol set.

EscapeE supports TCP/IP input from a specified port and can send AFP, PCL, PDF and PostScript output via LPR. EscapeE can also send TIFF, IMG and PNG image files via LPR (this is especially useful for users of the RedTitan 'nPortal' spooler). EscapeE also can be controlled remotely from a standard browser using the RedTitan nQ server.

When you have set up options manually from this dialog you can save these in different ways:

Click the Save button to retain these settings after you close the program.
Click the Save as button to save these settings to a file. (*.INI)
Click Shortcut to create a Shortcut icon which uses all the options you have set.

Expert users may set command line options, e.g. for batch operation.
