Overview of PrintPRO

PrintPRO enables you to create a document composed of images, text, and graphics, and print the document to a selected printer or print to file.

The process for composing and printing documents is as follows:

Select a printer. PrintPRO automatically selects the system default printer but you can select any printer connected to your system. If you want to use the default printer, you can skip to step 2.
Set the printer properties. Printer properties include the paper size, print quality, orientation, etc. If you want to use the printers default properties, you can skip to step 3.
Set the Image Color Management (ICM) Method and Intent as needed.
Use the DocName Property to set the document name. When the system spools your document for printing, the document name appears in the list of documents to be printed. The default document name is PrintPRO Document. If you want to use the default document name, skip to step 5.
Start a document. You can use the StartPrintDoc method to start a document, however, PrintPRO's text, graphics and bitmap methods will automatically start a document if one has not been started.
Place text, graphics and bitmaps on the document page. The NewPage Method lets you start a new page and the Page Property returns the current page number.
Create, then print and/or display print preview page(s) if desired.
Print the document. Use the EndPrintDoc Method to send the document to the print spooler. If the PrintToFile Property is True, the print output is redirected to a disk file. If you want to stop printing the current document, use the KillPrintDoc Method before you start a new document.
