Get the IrPrint Advantage!
IrPrint Open Library provides many different levels of printing for you to add to your applications. From complex, sophisticated open library calls to simple, but effective, EzIrPrint calls, you can incorporate the IrPrint advantage to offer printed output built in to your own solutions. Take a look at what can be developed by adding just one line of code (See Figure 8, memopad sample) ,or just a couple lines of code will generate a multicolumn document (See Figure 11, Mail sample).
What Does It Cost?
There is absolutly no charge to incorporate IrPrint functionality into your applications. However, you are not permitted to distribute the licensed version of IrPrint with your applictions. Therefore, your users must have purchased their own copy of IrPrint. You are, however, permitted to distribute the demo version of IrPrint, in its original form with all accompanying documentation, along with your application. This will allow your customers to be able to print using your software, before they purchase IrPrint.
For a sample application and detailed information about all functions, please check our website.
