More Features

Ghostscript's breadth and depth of features make it a veritable “Swiss army knife”, a customizable software solution for addressing complex imaging and printing requirements.

GhostPDL (PostScript/PDF/PCL/XPS) supports page orientation, scaling, and printer delivery options that include:

• Normal duplex, tumble duplex, and batch duplex.
• LeadingEdge, short-edge or long-edge feed rendering.
• Page scaling, including fit to destination size.
• Process only specific pages from the input file.
• For PostScript and PDF input, the “setpagedevice” procedures are fully implemented to allow for Adobe defined page orientation/scaling and imposition (N-up).

GhostPDL also provides page delivery control options that include:

• Multiple copies of a set of pages (i.e., job) can be rendered so that the printer receives “collated” copies.
• Pages can be delivered in a variety of orders:
• Even, then odd (for batch style duplexing).
• Page ranges, to support printing “cover” or “separator” pages that may need special media, then printing all “normal” pages from the job, allows for operator prompting to change media.
• Reverse page order, which may be required for compatibility with “finisher” handling of the job (stapler, binder, etc.).
• Pages (or page sets) can be retained on non-volatile storage (e.g hard-drive) and printed after a printer reset or power cycle.
• Allows for a “proof” approval prior to the job completion without needing to re-process the original file(s).
• Pages can be rendered together on a single output page, utilizing differing page sizes and rendered across large format printer sheets.

The stored pages can be from any of the supported input Page Description Languages: PS, PDF, PCL, or XPS. For example, a PostScript cover page and PCL body file are rendered and treated as a single job.
