Convert ESC printer data to Tiff

directESC provides easy and fast the conversion of several ESC printer languages to multipaged Tiff. Moreover the used fonts, codepages and further emulation parameters can be determined.

directESC is available as 32-bit Shell application for the operating systems Microsoft Windows NT4.0™, Windows 2000™, Windows XP™ and Windows 2003-Server™.

Print ESC printer data

Transparently to the ESC to Tiff conversion, the ESC printer data can be send to any Windows printer. This can be performed in RAW or GDI - mode. In RAW-mode, the ESC printer data is just copied to the printer providing better performance if the target printer supports the format.

Using GDI-mode, the printout can be performed on any available Windows printer. This supports even Postscript and PCL printers as well as Network and USB devices. Using this feature together with a picked printer driver, numerous further output formats as PDF, Postscript or PCL are possible.

Redirecting MS-DOS printers

Redirections of Windows printers can be performed by directTOOLS directMON 3. It appears as a virtual printer port (similar to LPT1: or COM1:) and intercepts all printed data. This works also together with older MS-DOS programs. directMON NT sends this data now to directESC and the conversion to the target printer or/and to a Tiff can be performed.

Save and print - Document Archives

directESC supports simultaneous saving and printing. ESC print data can be saved to a Tiff file and printed to an arbitrary Windows printer with identical layouts. This can be integrated in most cases very easily into already existing document mangement systems - please ask.
