Eos Family and Printing to PDF
Starting with v1.3.1, Eos Family consoles support printing to an Acrobat PDF file rather than to a directly attached printer. That allows the end-user to email the file or bring it to any computer with the Adobe Acrobat Reader (or comparable PDF display software) to open and print.
To access this feature:
- Use the [Displays] button to open the Browser.
- Arrow down to {Print} and press the right arrow.
- Select {Print to File} and hit the right arrow.
- Choose the flash drive from the list and hit [Select].
Note: It is also possible to save it to the local hard drive by choosing {Show File Archive}, but to view the file it would need to be copied to a USB later via the File Manager utility, found in the welcome screen/shell.
- The console will bring up a selection screen for information to be included in the generated PDF. Press {Ok} once you have selected the needed options.
- The console will prompt you to enter the name for the PDF file. Enter the name and press [Enter]
- The PDF will save to the destination -- in this case, the connected USB drive.
