Shows the recommended javasacript libraries required and their use when starting a new project that will only use ScriptX.Print in the cloud or on-premise.

This is a useful page to show the version of the each of the main client side components of ScriptX.Services that are in use on your device.

Illustrates the fundamentals of starting a print preview or print from javascript. (Print Preview is implemented in ScriptX.Services for Windows PC).

Illustrates the use of many of the basic printing features of ScriptX.

Provides a summary of the advanced features of ScriptX and shows the use of many advanced features.

In an international environment there may be a mixture of margin measurement units - this sample sets margins in the opposite units to your default illustrating that with ScriptX you gain control of the units for specifying measurements. This sample also illustrates the scaled to fit preview and printing of a frame.

Illustrates the use of the printerControl, Jobs and Job objects.

An example workflow is for the user to print a customer receipt to a physical printer and the system will also print the same content to a PDF file using PDF output printer driver as an archive.

Various print operations with monitoring and timing to provide performance estimates.

It can be useful to provide the user with a targetted user interface rather than rely on all attributes being set in script. This sample illustrates listing the available printers and allowing the user to select the printer to use.

It can be useful to provide the user with a targetted user interface rather than rely on all attributes being set in script. This sample implements the Page setup and Print settings dialogs in a single HTML dialog.

This sample discusses the use of the WaitForSpoolingComplete() function emulation with ScriptX.Services in a variety of scenarios.

PrintHTML() is a fire and forget method and if anything goes wrong no one will know other than nothing has appeared at the printer. The PrintHTMLEx() method provides for monitoring the progress of the job and notification of errors.

Printing a remote document occurs in the background. For ScriptX.Addon this can be in the same process as Internet Explorer or can be an external process. This sample shows the difference. For ScriptX.Services, all printing occurs in a separate process.

Printing a remote document occurs by downloading the document, loading to the print engine and then printing it. ScriptX 8 / ScriptX.Services adds support for documents using modern standards but this can have a negative impact on documents relyiong on older behaviour. This sample shows how to resolve these issues if they occur.

An introduction to printing literal html with ScriptX.

This sample illustrates the behaviour of ScriptX v8 which fixes a bug that 'modern' html (e.g. rotated elements, modern box rules) could not be printed. Unfortunately the fix can introduce problems with old content. ScriptX 8 attempts to make compatible decisions but if it gets it wrong this shows how to enforce the correct processing for correct output.

A simple example showing the basics of using html markup in headers and footers.

There are no limits beyond what HTML can do.

This sample shows the use of enhanced page range specification; the ability to print arbitrary ranges of pages (rather than a single range) and print only odd, only even or both odd and even numbered pages.

An all-in-one sample by which you can explore the effect on output of each of the enhanced formatting options along with all the other options such as margins, the printer to use, orientation etc. This is the ultimate sample!

To synchronously print a single PDF file, use the PrintPDF() API. The url of the PDF document to be printed is specified, the printer to use etc can be chosen by the user by utilising prompted printing.

Asynchronous printing of one or more files to the current printer is available with the BatchPrintPDF API. With batch printing, files are downloaded and printed in the background, allowing users to continue with other tasks on the displayed page.

If scripted control of the printer to use and other features is required when printing one or more documents, then features required are set and the BatchPrintPDF() API used.

If scripted control of the printer to use and other features is required when printing one or more documents along with progress information then the BatchPrintPDFEx() API used.

If your work flow requires sending PDF within a text stream such as xhtml or json then you will be generating base64 encoded PDF documents.

By use of a DataUrl, ScriptX can print the document removing the requirement for multiple output formats from your workflow.

If a PDF is being dynamically generated at the server it can be delivered as a Base64 encoded string to the browser and then printed by ScriptX using a Data URL to the encoded content.

With batch printing, encoded pdf documents are processed and printed in the background, allowing users to continue with other tasks on the displayed page.

For introduction this sample prints a simple label defined by a string of ZPL commands.

This sample allow you to enter the ZPL/EPL commands to send to your printer

Appropriate content may be downloaded from a server and sent to the printer. For example, a work-flow process may have generated the files to print or an API end point may return text. This example demonstrates using file containinng ZPL command sequences.

Uses simple SVG elements to illustrate support for SVG. An issue with SVG is that it can require scale factors outside the default range. ScriptX has solutions for this.

As above but the sample content is shown in a frame.

Illustrates the standard behaviour of your device and browser with some SVG charts without ScriptX.

Illustrates the control of printing SVG charts with ScriptX.

Illustrates two sided (duplex) printing with the duplex2 property.

The DefaultPrinter() API is deliberately vague in its description. Exactly what is returned depends upon circumstances and it is unwise to depend on a single meaning.
