If your license file is served from IIS on Windows Server 2003/2008 then this error can occur because IIS on these systems IIS will only serve files with types that have registered MIME types.To resolve the issue, define a MIME type for the ".mlf" file type (application/octet-stream is recommended).

Absolutely, its what they are there for.

All the samples are demonstrations of what can be achieved with ScriptX.

Although using jQuery with even the simple samples is more than is needed (and they could at first glance be written very easily without the wrapper object or jQuery), jQuery does provide for clearly separating the function from the presentation. The wrapper object hides some variations between versions of ScriptX.

Yes. Please see our raw printing support if you are working with a label printer such as those from Zebra. With our raw printing, you can send ZPL/EPL directly to the printer.

ScriptX is a client side ActiveX control, so you need to add the object tags into the html to be delivered to the client browser. How you do this is entirely up to you, so for example, if you are using ScriptX on a number of pages you might want to author the required object tags in a master page. We recommend that you store values such as the license revision and the path to the license file in the site web.config file and take the values from there when generating the tags. In this way, when the license is updated you do not have to touch any page code.Our samples system is developed with ASP.NET MVC 3 and jQuery.

ScriptX printing will always prompt when called in the context of Internet Explorer's Internet Security Zone. This is done to prevent anonymous Internet content invoking printing without a prompt.

For the My Computer, Local Intranet and Trusted Sites Security Zones promptless printing will work. If you need promptless printing for the Internet Security Zone, you should obtain a publishing license that will bind the deployment of ScriptX to the URL addresses from which you want to serve ScriptX-enabled content.
