About EscapeE conversion resources

The RedTitan® 
EscapeE program interprets print files and reads image files such as:
DCM DCX/PCX RTF TXT CSV XML PCC BMP GIF PNG TIF/TIFF JPEG/JPG |
Epson® Hewlett-Packard® IBM® |
RedTitan® |
Typical uses for the program are:
on screen and printing sample pages. This means you can view the layout of a job before production printing. |
to other formats. Some of these formats are useful for archiving documents: e.g. TIFF (Tagged Image File Format), PDF (Portable Document Format), plain text or the MS Windows Vista® default format XPS (XML paper specification). Other formats are useful for transferring jobs to other printers, e.g. IBM® IPDS and AFP images, Xerox® IMG images, PostScript files and FDL (Forms Description Language). You can export files manually or set up EscapeE to run continuously, converting new files as they arrive. EscapeE supports TCP/IP input from a specified port and can send its PDF output via LPR. EscapeE also can be controlled remotely from a standard browser using the RedTitan nQ server. |
Extracting data from a print file
by marking out the position of the data fields on a page. EscapeE then saves the data in those positions into comma separated values (CSV), extensible markup language (XML) or plain text (TXT). |
Converting between image formats
Whole or part images, with options to change the compression, resolution, shading, smoothing plus other format-specific options such as rotation. |
by extracting clipped areas from existing images, documents and data files and re-formatting them together (with new text if needed). Wizards simplify the creation of regular documents such as booklets, multi-column lists and music parts; data may also be extracted and used for mail-merges. |
See the Overview section for an introduction to EscapeE. The functions available depend on which edition of the program you have installed:
| • | EscapeE Transformer has full viewing features and many of the conversion format options. |
| • | EscapeE Batch Automation has all the features of the Transformer plus the command line execution feature which can act as an API to client systems. |
| • | EscapeE Professional has all the features of the Batch Automation, extensive composite document features and IDF control capability. |
