=========================
New Features:
=========================

1. GAMMALINK support - FillOrderLeastSigBit option
===================================================

This advanced user options gives you the flexibility to control
the FillOrder for an image.

Certain fax companies like GammaLink require that all images be
of a certain type: e.g. GammaLink supports the image type:
CCITT Group 3 -1 dimensional TIFF images with the FillOrder of
Least Significant bit. 

1 = The leftmost bit of the bitmap is the Least Significant
    bit of the byte.

0 = The leftmost bit of the bitmap is the Most Significant
    bit of the byte.

Tip: To prevent an end-user from accidentally changing the more
     complex INI entries have been intentionally hidden from
     the Print-2-Image Setup screen.
    
     To change these options, you must edit the INI file
     using a text editor:  

	[FileOptions]
	RenameSinglePage=0
	FillOrderLeastSigBit=1


2. QuarkXPress
===============
 
   Print-2-Image / Print+Show now supports QuarkXPress desktop
   publishing software:

   To use P-2-I with QuarkXPress, simply add the following
   "Print-2-Image=1" entry to the QUARK.INI using a text editor.

   [AlternatePrintMethod]
    WINFAX=1 
    Print-2-Image=1

3.  CAS LOGOS - Paper Size option:
===================================

    When you select the CAS LOGO paper size and 
    print to P-2-I, a 1728x800 pixel image is generated
    automatically.   


4.  RAMPAGE - Paper Size option:
===================================

    This double-length paper size was especially designed
    to produce over-sized charts and fax banner images for:
   
    RamPage Publishing
    298 South Sunnyvale Avenue - Suite 105
    Sunnyvale, CA. 94086-6245
    408-245-7714 (Fax)
  
    RamPage publishes FAX ACCESS, a faxed newsletter on 
    advanced Windows facsimile applications and helpful tips.

    Print-2-Image users can get a free sample issue by sending
    your name, company and return fax number to the RamPage
    fax number noted above.


5. RenameSinglePage option
==============================

This RenameSinglePage option allows you to control the 
"file naming convention".  However, this option only applies
to the printing of Single-page source documents that produce
only one output image file.

When printing a Single-page source document using a single-page
file format like TIF or PCX, you may want the image file created
to have a file name that is exactly what you entered.  
In other words, you do NOT want P-2-I to create the file using
the 5 characters + 3 digit naming convention.  

* If you set RenameSinglePage=0, the file name used will be
  exactly what you entered.  

* If you set this option to 1, then the single-page output file
  will be created with a file name that uses a page number,
  e.g. YOURFILE.PCX  ---> YOURF001.PCX.  

Tip:  If PCX or TIF is selected and the source is a multi-page
      document, the output files will always be created with
      page numbers.  To change this option, you must edit the
      INI file using a text editor.

1 = Rename single page to include digits, i.e. YOURF001.PCX.
0 = Don't rename when the source document is only a single page.



6. PRINTER CONTROL - PPRTR4.ZIP by Silent O Software is
   included for programming assistance and a 30-day evaluation.


7. API Sample code for Visual Basic API interface is supplied
   in vbapi.zip.  

8. API Sample code for Gupta SQLWindows API interface is 
   supplied in swinapi.zip. 

   


=========================
To install Print+Show:
=========================

1. Run the INSTALL.EXE to install the printer driver files 
   and update your WIN.INI. A P2IMAGE.INI file will also be
   created.

2. In Windows Control Panel, Printer Setup -- 
   Select printer: "Print-2-Image on FAX" and verify the
   install worked correctly.  
   You should see a Print-2-Image Setup box.


===================================
ShowFax image viewer 
===================================

Not Just View... Annotate!
---------------------------

As a Windows executable file, ShowFax can be launched from an 
application and be used to open or close selected documents
using documented Windows messages. Optimized for speed, ShowFax
lets you display and manipulate almost any single-page or
multi-page image file including fax formats PCX, DCX, and TIFF.

With ShowFax, specific annotation features include the ability
to add text notes in any Windows font to the image, in an opaque
or transparent frame, with visible or hidden borders.

Additional tools include arrows and frames.  Pages can also be 
added or removed at will (such as a cover page of a fax 
received), copied to the clipboard and pasted on a different
image, or copied to any Windows application.  ShowFax even 
allows you to clean-up a fax image with an eraser-like tool.

Other ShowFax options include long and short menus; hidden,
floating or fixed toolbar; and image enhancement.  Annotated
images can be saved as two separate files, with annotations
saved as re-editable objects, or they can be merged permanently
into the original image.  

To make an image from ShowFax, simply specify the file name
and a supported file format including: Group 3 TIFF, 
Group 4 TIFF (compressed), and DCX. Once displayed, the image
can be rotated (4 ways), zoomed (3 levels, + fit in frame
width), and annotated.
 
=======================================
Who can use Print-2-Image and ShowFax?
=======================================

Fax-On-Demand, Fax-Back, Voice Processing, E-Mail and Fax
Distribution Systems need an easy and reliable way to create
images -- and Print-2-Image is the answer.  Print-2-Image can
also be mail-enabled for VIM and MAPI.

If your company develops custom Windows applications, then you
probably need to integrate fax and imaging into your systems.
Print-2-Image easily integrates with any Windows programming
environment  -- just set the current printer to "Print-2-Image
on FAX" and print.  The image format and resolution, paper size,
orientation, and other features are easily programmable
through a simple INI file.

REPORTED PROBLEMS: 
=========================

P001: Description
=========================
NOTEPAD - When using the "View on Completion" option with Notepad,
when printing a document, the program control does not return
to Notepad to close the "Now printing" dialog box.

This behavior does not occur in any other software other
than in Notepad.  The Notepad session can be closed, but the
contents of the notepad window cannot be saved.

P001: Status
=========================
July 17, 1994 - Corrected in version 3.1.7 of Print-2-Image
-------------------------


P002: Description
=========================
PBRUSH - When printing to P-2-I while in Paintbrush, a GPF occurs.

P002: Status
=========================
July 17, 1994 - Corrected in version 3.1.7 of Print-2-Image
-------------------------


P003: Description
==========================
SHOWFAX and DCX images - When I convert from any file format
to DCX, ShowFax correctly converts the image.  However, when I
try to modify a DCX images by adding annotations or saving it,
the DCX image becomes a page 1 of 1 document and I lose all the
other pages.

P003: Status
==========================
July 15, 1994 - Reproducible and has been reported to software
development. A new version of ShowFax will be available in early
August. *** WORK-AROUND: use "Save As" menu option for now ***
