CoverSetup - Output features:


Sending images to local printer
In the lower right corner, you'll find the button for sending the images out from CoverSetup. In the ToolBox you can choose between having the images send out to Microsoft Word or out to local printer.

Frame around images
If you wish to have a frame around each image at print-out-time, simply choose this option next to the printer-icon. If this function is turned on while having set Word for output, the images collected in Word will also be added frames

Synchronize folders
If the "Synchronize folders" function is enabled, all drive and folderlists will follow each other, no matter which list is beeing browsed. Also the LabelPrinters actual folder will follow - no matter the LabelPrinter is visible or not...

Margins
Setting up margins and spacings between images, and setting up image-dimensions, are done in the ToolBox. Be aware, that the images are stretched to fit the dimensions defined. The margins entered are excl. the minimum-margins your printer can work with.

If the images are to wide to fit on an A4-paper they are printed in landscape. At the control of image-width the height are not checked. If the images are to big to fit on a A4-paper in both dimensions, the dimensions are not valid - and the print-job is therefore probably not correct. It's your responsibility to enter valid image-dimensions for the A4-paper(!).

Line-of-order for Outputs
You can choose as many covers from each list as you please before clicking the Printer-icon. The images are printed (or collected- see "Select Output" at the end of this page...) in pairs - as long as possible. Meaning: If for example you have 2 frontcovers and 5 backcovers selected, the first frontcover and the first backcover will be printed first, the second frontcover and the second backcover printed next, and then - since no more frontcovers are selected, the three remaining backcovers are printed. And vice-versa!

The Labels are printed from the LabelPrinter-window directly (and from here only). The line-of-order for the Labels-output will be as shown in the tasklist.

Labels:

SET PRINT QUALITY
You can (in the ToolBox) set the print-quality independantly from Windows' settings. (For Labels the print quality is set directly in the LabelPrinter-window)

Hence: In CoverSetup you can set the print quality without interferring with the settings in Windows - and vice versa.

The print is presumed made to A4 size paper. Print on other paper-sizes are not supported/recomended.

The text at the bottom of the print-icon shows the quality-setting currently used by CoverSetup. Ths text is added at question-mark "+?" if the print-out has been added the function "Ask for FrontCover label" in the ToolBox.

CoverSetup has been programmed to choose between four different print-out modes; Low, Draft, Medium and Hight. If your printer supports less than 4 modes (many printers supports only 3 modes), two or more modes can yield the same result. But you might also encounter, that for instance Low-quality yields the same result as the current Windows-setting, while the other three modes gives the result intended by CoverSetup.

You will have to experiment some with this feature, to expirience how your printer responds to the settings. We are not able to predict you printerdriver's reaction before-hand.

REMARK: CoverSetup's feature of using internally defined print-quality settings independantly from Windows' settings, depends on the actual printer-driver installed. Some printer-drivers might yield the same result for one or more (perhaps for all) settings. In such cases an update/replacement of the printer-driver might solve the problem. If the problem cannot be solved this way, we'll unfortunately have to ask you to set the preferred print-quality in Windows.

The number of print-out-rounds in DEMO-mode has been limited to 20 - to urge you to register and support our effort!

SELECT OUTPUT
In the ToolBox (not available in DEMO-mode, i.e. in un-registered versions), you can choose output to MS Word (presumed installed). When selecting this output, the printer-icon will lead to Word getting started and the choosen images are then collected and scaled/stretched to the image-sizes seen in the CoverSetup-window above the images. (Default Front-W/H: 12,1/12,1 and Back-W/H: 15,1/11,8 cm).

Notice that the printer-icon - when Word is selected for output - shows a W-icon for Word..

Be aware also, that when using Word for output, the tools in Word such as making text-boxes and putting in WordArt-images and other images in general - all on top of the images from CoverSetup - will be available at your own pace and temper.

This feature makes it indirectly possible to add user-modifications of the images before printing them.
