The following options are available:

Destination group box:
Send output to printer Choose Ask user to open your browser's print dialog box for each print job; Default to automatically send print jobs to your computer's default printer; or a named printer to automatically send print jobs to that printer. The status, location, and other pertinent information about the selected printer are shown beneath the Printer list.
Send output to file When this option is selected, printer output is sent to a file instead of the printer.


The file name option specifies the file to which the printer output is saved. Accept the default path and file name, enter a new one, or click Browse to select an existing file.

In some cases, you may want to use the Send output to file option to send a job to a printer. You can send files to a local printer by entering the printer port (for example, LPT1) or to a networked printer by entering the full UNC path (for example, \\Servername\Printername).

If file exists determines what happens when the specified file name already exists. The following options are available:

  • Append to file—The new printer output data is added to the original file.
  • Ask user (default)—You are asked if you want to overwrite the existing file, rename the file, append data to the original file, or cancel the operation.
  • Autonumber—A number is added to the base name of the file. For example, if the original file is file.txt, each successive print would create file1.txt, file2.txt, and so forth.
  • Overwrite—The file is always overwritten. Select this option if the File name entry refers to a printer.
  • Show error message—Stops and writes an error to the Java Console.
Close printer group box:
Manually Enables the Close Printer command on the File menu. The printer remains open until you click the Close Printer command. Select this option to send several print jobs together when you click Close Printer.
After X seconds Closes the printer automatically after the amount of time you specify. The value you enter here determines the number of seconds that Reflection waits after receiving output data before closing the printer automatically.

Issue formfeed at end of job group box:

You can issue a form feed for host-initiated printing, print screen, or both.

For host-initiated printing Issues a formfeed at the end of the job for print output from the host.
For print screen Issues a formfeed at the end of the job for print screen operations.
