Taking control of printing from the internet: MeadCo launches ScriptX 8.0
March 2017 by Marc Jacob
MeadCo’s browser add-on, ScriptX, enables controlled and consistent printing from
Internet Explorer. The latest release, ScriptX 8.0, is officially launched today and
is designed specifically for use on Microsoft’s newest edition, Internet Explorer
11.
The key benefits of the ScriptX product are ensuring consistent formatting and
appearance of the printed output of browser-hosted content from any local or
networked printer. This is regardless of the printing configurations already set in
each individual computer’s Internet Explorer (IE) browser. This means that HTML and
PDF forms, legal and financial documents, prescriptions, wristbands, barcodes,
labels and tickets can be printed correctly first time, every time, identically,
from all devices.
The new aspects in the ScriptX 8.0 release include the 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.
MeadCo has designed ScriptX 8.0 as, 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. However,
the MeadCo Promise’ guarantees continued support for ScriptX to all licensees, even
when Microsoft introduces newer versions and updates. This means that MeadCo will
continue to provide technical support, bug fixes and security updates to users of
ScriptX on earlier versions of IE. Alongside this, MeadCo will continue active
development of ScriptX 8.0 for IE11.
