3 Configuration
The configuration of either the 3-Heights PDF Producer or the 3-Heights TIFF
Producer is done at two different places:
Printer Properties
Document Settings
Printer properties are set per printer. Document settings are set per user (or all users).
This chapter gives a brief overview for both producers. Detailed configuration
information is found at the in the corresponding chapters for the PDF and TIFF
Producers.
Configurations applied in the printer are persistent.
In a Windows application that is printing a document, specific settings for each
document can be applied. Document settings configured from within an application are
volatile and are only valid for a print job, or a series of print jobs. After the application
is closed, the document settings are lost. If document settings are not defined at the
time of printing from an application, the default values (current user’s document
settings) are applied.
3.1 Printer Properties
Printer Properties define the properties of the Windows printer. These are:
Printer Name
Network Sharing
Ports
Windows Security
etc.
Once you install either the 3-Heights PDF Producer or the 3-Heights TIFF Producer,
you can use the Properties dialog box to set its properties. You access the Printer
Properties dialog box by doing the following:
Windows 2000: Double-click on the Printers icon in the Control Panel or select
Settings in the Start menu and then choose the Printers option.
Windows XP: Double-click on the Printers icon in the Control Panel or select
Printers and Faxes in the Start menu.
Right-click on the icon of the printer you want to configure and then select
Properties from the pop-up menu.
Printer properties are set per printer. If multiple sets of printer properties (e.g.
different ports or different network sharing) are required, multiple instances of the
producer need to be installed.
