Direct Print
ImageQuick Drag’N’Print:
Drag’N’Print is a direct print utility that is provided with the driver CD as a standard feature for the IBM Infoprint 1532 Express.
IBM’s direct printing will be a popular resource among users looking for fast reproduction of high bandwidth graphic files. The reason being that IBM’s direct printing allows users to send PNG, PCX, DCX, PDF, JPEG, HTML, TIFF, GIF, BMP, and PS files directly to the print engine without launching an application or riping the file into a PCL or PostScript file. The time alone required to open an application such as Photoshop can be longer than the time it takes to print the file.
Users are able to set up as many direct PDF queues as they require. This is a valuable feature allowing users to set up a direct print queue with the required document production features necessary for a specific job type. For example, a user could set up one job queue defaulted to duplex output on paper from tray one, while another queue could be set to incorporate an overlay of the company letterhead and print from the bypass tray.
We also liked the ability to be able to use the direct print facility without having to first open a browser or windows application. This step, which is found on many rival devices can swallow up much of the time advantage that the process is supposed to deliver.
Users of the IBM Infoprint 1532 Express have multiple ways in which they can route a job into a direct print queue. They can either drag a file on the desktop onto the ImageQuick icon or they can simply right click on the file and select the direct print
queue from the ‘Send To’ options (as |
