The ScriptX browser add-on “enables controlled and consistent printing” from the web browser.
Cambridge Network hosted a release from MeadCo, which produces the ScriptX add-on, with the eighth version of the software enabling “controlled and consistent printing from Internet Explorer”, specifically the “newest edition”, version 11. The company added that the add-on can help users take “control of printing from the internet”, with “consistent formatting and appearance of the printed output” among the features.
These “key benefits” help with printing “browser-hosted content from any local or networked printer […] regardless of the printing configurations already set in each individual computer’s Internet Explorer browser”. This means that both “HTML and PDF forms” alongside “legal and financial documents, prescriptions, wristbands, barcodes, labels and tickets can be printed correctly first time, every time, identically, from all devices”.
New aspects in the eighth version of the release include “main installers being dramatically reduced in size and the introduction of a new ability to control the smallest scale factor, useful for graphing on large monitors with high pixel counts”. The add-on has been launched in turn because “from last year, Microsoft only provides technical support and security updates to the most current version of IE”.
MeadCo “foresees that many of its customers may choose to update to IE 11 on all their client PCs and wants its offering to reflect the very latest technology”, though it “guarantees continued support for ScriptX to all licensees, even when Microsoft introduces newer versions and updates”. This means it will “continue to provide technical support, bug fixes and security updates to users of ScriptX on earlier versions”, and “continue active development”.
Jerry Mead, CEO of MeadCo, stated: “If all end users operate Internet Explorer 11, then ScriptX 8.0 is the best possible option. ScriptX 7.7 should be deployed if end users operate a mix of Internet Explorer 11, alongside previous releases, or if the end users operate Internet Explorer 10 or earlier. ScriptX has been available as a browser add-on since 1998 and is currently installed on many millions of Windows machines around the world.
“Whilst it is great to have proven 100 percent functionality and security over nearly 20 years, it is also vital that ScriptX continues to be at the very forefront of new technology. This is why we constantly develop and improve the system, creating new releases, while ensuring existing customers will always be supported.”
