Post Processing. This section can be used to configure an external applicationto run another process after the output is completed. If you are printingdirect to a printer, this could send further commands to the printer.If your RTL output was directed to a disk file, the post-processing commandscould be used to convert to a different format or to send thedata to a printer via a channel which is not directly supported by theplugin etc.The Enable checkbox turns this functionality on and off. The post-processoritself will be invoked using the Command entered, as if it had been typed at acommand prompt. If Create Window is checked then a command promptwindow will be opened for the post-processor.If the command to be invoked is an .EXE file, and can be found on the currentpath then a full path name is not required. If it is not in the current path, or a.BAT or .COM file is to be run, then a full path name, and the executable file’sextension must be entered.e.g.munge-itwould be fine if you want to run MUNGE-IT.EXE and that file can be found onthe current path, but if you wanted to start MUNGE-IT.BAT, you must enter:C:\bin\munge-it.batThe current working directory is set to point to the directory specified as theOutput Folder above before the command is executed.The command line entered can also include flags for complex processing – seeAdvanced features below for more details.Resolution should be set on the main Page Setup dialog as usual. The pluginsupports a list of resolutions which is designed to address the needs ofthe vast majority of RTL printers. Many of those printers will not supportall, or even most of the resolutions listed by the plugin. In order toobtain correctly scaled output you must be sure to select the correct resolutionfor your particular printer.5 Commercial in Confidence Technical Note Hqn025: v1.3 June 2001
