Customize Application Profile

This window allows you to create a custom profile for ZipPrint. When you have created a custom profile, you can ZipPrint documents of this type by selecting File > ZipPrint > Print From Application - Auto, or File > ZipPrint > Print from Application - Select Profile.

Application

Allows you to select an existing profile to edit or delete.

• If you change a setting in a profile, then select another profile, then return to the previous profile, the change you made is preserved. For example, if you change the Key Word in a profile called NANote, then switch to another profile, then switch back to NANote, the change that you made in the Key Word for NANote is preserved.
• However, changes in any profile are not saved permanently until you click OK.
• To exit without saving any changes, click Cancel.

Identification, Printing Ranges, Scrolling Settings

Use these settings when you are creating a new profile or editing an existing profile. You can also edit any predefined profile.

• Identification:
  Enter three sets of information that allow ZipPrint to recognize the type of a document after the document has been opened. You must completely enter all three sets of information.
  • Key Word
    
    • Type the starting row and column of a character string that appears at the same location on every screen of a document of this type. Then type the character string itself, using the same upper or lower case characters as in the original.
    • For example, the Office Vision Log Viewer displays the character string VIEW THE NOTE at row 1, column 33 of every screen of the document. Therefore you would enter 1 in the Row field, 33 in the Col field, and VIEW THE NOTE in the String field.
    • Use -1 in the Row field to indicate any row and -1 in the Col field to indicate any column. For example, using -1 in the Row field and 3 in the Col field causes ZipPrint to search for the string beginning in column 3 of every row of the screen.
  • Top String
    
    • Type the starting row and column of a character string that appears on the first screen of every document of this type. Then type the character string itself, using the same upper or lower case characters as in the original.
    • For example, at row 2, column 2 of the first screen of an Office Vision Log Viewer document the string From: appears. Therefore you would enter 2 in the Row field, 2 in the Col field, and From: in the String field.
    • Use -1 in the Row field to indicate any row and -1 in the Col field to indicate any column. For example, using 2 in the Row field and -1 in the Col field causes ZipPrint to search for the string beginning in every column of row 2 of the first screen.
  • Bottom String
    
    • Type the starting row and column of a character string that appears on the last screen of every document of this type. Then type the character string itself, using the same upper or lower case characters as in the original.
    • For example, on some row and at column 31 of the last screen of every document the Office Vision Log Viewer displays the string E N D  O F  N O T E. Therefore you would type -1 in the Row field, 31 in the Col field, and E N D O F N O T E in the String field.
    • Use -1 in the Row field to indicate any row and -1 in the Col field to indicate any column. For example, using -1 in the Row field and 31 in the Col field causes ZipPrint to search for the string in column 31 of every row of the screen.
    • In many cases you will need to enter -1 in the row field, because an ending string (such as END OF NOTE) can typically occur on any row of the last screen.
    • The line containing the Bottom String is not printed. Instead, printing ends with the last line before the line containing the Bottom String.
• Printing Ranges:
  Enter the row and column coordinates of the rectangular block of text that ZipPrint is to print from each screen.
  • First Screen
    Type the row and column coordinates of the rectangular block of text that ZipPrint is to print from the first screen of the document.
    • Under From type the row and column of the first character of the rectangular block of text (upper left corner of block). Do not use -1 in these fields.
    • Under To type the row and column of the last character of the rectangular block of text (lower right corner of block).
      • Use -1 as the Col value to indicate that you want to include all the characters up to and including the last displayable column on the screen.
      • Use -1 as the Row value to indicate that you want to include all the rows on the screen up to and including the last row.
  • Remaining Screens
    Type the row and column coordinates of the rectangular block of text that ZipPrint is to print from the remaining screens of the document.
    • Under From type the row and column of the first character of the rectangular block of text (upper left corner of the block). Do not use -1 in these fields.
    • Under To type the row and column of the last character of the rectangular block of text (lower right corner of the block).
      • Use -1 as the Col value to indicate that you want to include all the characters up to and including the last displayable column on the screen.
      • Use -1 as the Row value to indicate that you want to include all the rows on the screen up to and including the last row.
• Scrolling Settings:
  Enter the names of the keys that the application uses for paging through the document.
  • Keys
    Type the name of the key that the application uses for paging forward and the name of the key that the application uses for paging backward. For example, the Office Vision Log Viewer uses F10 for paging forward and F11 for paging backward.

    If you enter the wrong scrolling keys for the application, ZipPrint will display an error message when you try to do a ZipPrint.

  • Restore Screen Position After Print
    Select this check box to have ZipPrint restore the original screen position after finishing the print. Clear this check box to have ZipPrint to leave the document positioned at the last screen after printing.
