The syntax and description of each command is listed below. For convenience, the commands are grouped into tables:

Down arrow glyphMain options

Down arrow glyphPrinter configuration options

Down arrow glyphOther options

Down arrow glyphComposite document options

 

Down arrow glyphSpecial/obsolete options

 

There is also a list of the commands, in alphabetical order, which link directly to that command's entry in its table; see Command line syntax index.

Command line options may be of the form:

/<option>

i.e. a symbol that opens with a / character, or:

/<option> <parameterstring>

where a parameter string follows the symbol and is separated from it by a space character. The parameter may be composed of several values, generally separated by a comma. There should be no spaces before or after a comma separator. If a value contains a space character, that value must be enclosed in quotes.

/<option> <value1>,<value2>,<'value three'>

Options may be concatenated on the command line. Use a space character to end one option before starting the next option with its opening / character, as in this example command line:

escapee C:\MyDocuments\Design.pdf /HP /LOG AV

Alternatively, the options may be contained in an "options" file specified using the /OPTIONS syntax: see Options file.

Click to expand/collapse hidden textMain (export) command line options

For convenience, files exported using any of these main options are named, assigned the appropriate extension and placed in the originating folder automatically. Used in conjunction with the /TO option, however, you may set up other names and/or destination folders instead.
The main command line options may be followed by a parameter which may begin with V to request that the pages are shown on screen also. It may also specify a time, t, for continuous operation where a scan is made every t seconds, e.g.:

ESCAPEE *.LSH /TIFF V5
