When you open a PCL print file with EscapeE you can just view the layout and print sample pages or you can opt to export all or part of a job to another format: see About exporting pages. TIFF images, PDF and PostScript documents and can also be opened and viewed.
You can view the pages at a range of different sizes using the Zoom buttons (see Changing the scale of view) or the menu command, see Choosing the view of the page. If you wish to use the same viewing scale each time you open a file, you can save whichever scale you are currently using and customize some other viewing options, see Configuring the view. Various features help with navigating around the document. Normally the filename is shown in the title bar at the top of the window. Document details are shown in the 'Properties' dialog: click the 'information' icon on the toolbar (below the title bar).
Details about the page are displayed in the status bar at the foot of the window, though you can opt to turn this off. Normally, when the mouse is over the page window, the coordinates of the page are displayed (in the units of your choice). A progress bar keeps track of the location of the current page within the document. To view details about a particular piece of text or a graphic on the page, right-click on the object then choose from the pop-up menu. (You may cancel a pop-up menu by pressing the 'Esc' key.) See Viewing page information.
If your PCL file contains macros which you cannot see on screen, you can opt to view the macros step by step, see Viewing page information.
Many PCL printers do not print exactly to the edge of the paper; EscapeE lets you see if any part of the page will not print. The maximum size of page that EscapeE will display is 32760 pixels wide by 32760 pixels high.
The demonstration version of EscapeE uses Windows® TrueType fonts to emulate the resident printer fonts but the production version can be supplied with outline fonts which are a better match.
