Notes

EscapeE directly generates output for PostScript level 2 or 3 printers without using any Windows printer driver.

There is an option to use data compression: this usually reduces the size of the output files, though it makes them slower to generate. See To set more options for export.

The tray/bin selection specified in the PCL data can be overridden using /TRAY and /BIN - see Command line syntax.
