New Direct (RAW) printing option announced for ScriptX 7.1

(created on: 20.06.13)

Mead & Co today released Direct (RAW) printing as a new option for ScriptX 7.1, the global standard for controlling the printing of browser-hosted content on Microsoft Windows. This makes it simple and seamless to print to thermal label printers and other programmable devices, enabling organisations to better manage specialist printing scenarios in areas such as EPOS, packaging/logistics and healthcare.

Many applications rely on printing to intelligent, programmable devices such as label printers. However in these specialist scenarios, which are often printing millions of mission-critical documents such as labels and patient wrist-bands, using the Internet Explorer print engine in web-based applications slows down printing speed, decreases reliability and reduces control. 

The Direct (RAW) printing option avoids these issues. Designed to send strings of EPL, ZPL and other printer control codes directly to programmable printers from HTML content, it brings the advantages of web-based printing to these applications. This enables greater control, reduced wastage and speeds up label printing performance. Direct (RAW) printing is particularly suited to the healthcare and logistics industries.

“Printing specialist documents such as labels and shipping information is mission-critical to organisations in industries across the globe,” said Jerry Mead,CEO, Mead & Co. “Traditional methods of browser-based printing simply don’t provide the level of control or speed to deliver adequate performance. With ScriptX’s Direct (RAW) printing option, companies are able to use the power of web-based applications without any delays or wastage to ensure they always provide users with a seamless, high quality experience.”

Direct (RAW) printing is available now, as an additional licence cost-option for ScriptX 7.0 onwards. Existing licensees can purchase it by contacting support on feedback@meadroid.com.
