Command Line Interface

INTELLIscribe supports a command line interface very similar to the "lpr" commands in Unix and Windows®. ISendFile submits one or more files to an INTELLIscribe virtual printer port via the MS-DOS prompt commonly referred to as a command-line.

ISendFile sends jobs, unmodified, to the "virtual printer port" of your choice. This command may be called from custom applications created by you, or by the MS-DOS prompt.

The Isendfile command can submit one or more files to the INTELLIscribe Virtual Printer. The use of "*" as a wild character. Examples of use:

• To submit a file to an INTELLIscribe virtual printer port: ISendFile Office c:\path o\myfile.txt
• To submit the same file, and then remove it: ISendFile -d Office c:\path o\myfile.txt
• To submit all the text files in a given directory: ISendFile Office c:\path o\*.txt
• To submit files from more than one source: ISendFile Office c:\log d: ext \server\*.txt

Requirements for ISendFile and INTELLIscribe

• The user must have one or more virtual printer ports as defined in "Virtual printer port" wizard.
• The virtual printer port named in the "VirtualPrinterPort" parameter must exist. Virtual printer port names can contain spaces.
• The file or files named in "FileNames" must exist and must be readable.
