Typical uses for the program are:

Click to expand/collapse this hidden text Viewing a print file

on screen and printing sample pages. This means you can view the layout of a job before production printing.

Click to expand/collapse this hidden text Converting a print file

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.

Click to expand/collapse this hidden text 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).

Click to expand/collapse this hidden text 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.

Click to expand/collapse this hidden text Building new documents

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.
