Inserting a Resource

Scroll Prev Top Next More

A resource element is similar to the image element except that it will only be downloaded to the printer once. To insert a resource you need to click on the Output pane and select Insert Resource from the Insert menu.

Note 1:  If you wish to include a colour image and you have not set your default image export format to JPEG then you will need to change the image properties to select the JPEG format. Click on the Image tab of the Properties box to change the format. The JPEG Quality value can be 0-100 where 0 is the worst quality. The better the quality the larger the size of the image.

Note 2: Resources cannot be used for faxing documents.
