About printing
EscapeE PCL and PDF conversion resources program can read files that have been prepared for printing on one printer and output as files suitable for another printer, see About exporting pages. You may need to set up details of the printer being emulated (see Configurating the emulation and Emulating a plotter) and the output printer, see Setting the output printer's defaults.
It may also be used just to view documents, see About viewing pages. If you just need a paper copy of a document (or selected pages from the document) on view, you may use your regular printer (i.e. one set up under the Windows® mechanism) to print it: see Printing. To change the default printer, see Printer Setup. You may also use PCL, PDF, PS and XPS printers directly, bypassing the printer's own print-driver (print-drivers are often the root of printing difficulties), see Direct printing.
You may choose to print pages according to their instructions or as an image, see Page imaging and scaling. When printing a page as an image it will always look the same as EscapeE shows it on the screen, whereas proofing uses the printer's own "resources" (e.g. fonts), so you can see whether these are set up correctly or not. Printing may be scaled to accommodate printer differences such as unprintable areas: see Configuring the view.
