W-ELP quick test

There are at the beginning of your activities 5 ways to detect, if ELP is successfully installed.

Open the Install Tab and right click on the activated queue and select the test option.
Open the Configuration Tab and select the test button.
Open any of the provided test samples in Microsoft Word: START - All Program - Enhances Laser Printing - Examples - Load provided example "Invoice" using the Start Menu and print it using a PCL 5e or 5c enabled printer queue.
Read and follow the Self training, accessible via button at the bottom of the ELP Control Center

or generate your own test sampel like described here, using MS Word:

You may want to generate your own Microsoft Word, using Forms and ELP-Commands: Create a new empty document, type some sample text ("e.g. 'this is a welpprint sample test') and follow these steps to print a test form.

First, enable field code to be seen. Go to 'Tools' -> 'Options'; in the 'View' tab, enable checkbox 'Field codes'.
Older Word versions: Go to 'Insert' -> 'Field' and select the Print command (Windows 97: German Druck) in the left list box ('Field Names').
Newer Word versions: EinfÃ¼gen/Insert - Schnellbausteine/Qucik text - Feld.../Field... - select the Print field

To view print fields, you need to turn on the option "Show fileds": Klick on the Word icon top left, then select "Word -Options" - Enhanced - scroll down and check "Show field options instead of values"
Older Word versions have the button under Tools - Options.
In the text box below (after 'PRINT'), enter: "<<K3;C1:1O500;D1;>>"
Now, if you select 'File' -> 'Print', the print dialog appears and you must select a printer. Be sure to select a PCL 5e printer, which has the processor welpprint configured; otherwise, the form won't be applied to the document.
The result should be three pages with your sample text combined with a W-ELP example form/watermark
To create your own form/watermark, just design an appropriate image (Photoshop, etc.) or layout (Microsoft Word, etc.) and print it to a file (should have the suffix .prn).
Open the ELP Control Center and push the 'Add' button in the 'Macros' tab. A file dialog appears and you may select the created .prn file. Give it a number between 1000 and 32000, for example 1500. Now, it'll appear in the List box as 1500.mac.
Follow steps 2 to 5 and substitute the [..]O500[..] with [..]O1500[..] (your generated MAC file): "<<K3;C1:1O1500;D1;>>"; printing it should result in the customized form/watermark to be applied.

NOTE: If you are lost in space with your configuration then you may want to reset ELP to its default after installation settings: Please copy in the \ProgramData\WELP folder the file convert.ori over the convert.ini file.

Maybe save your ini file before overwriting.
Exit the ELP Control Center if open
Please copy in the Workpath folder (default: c:\ProgramData\Welp) the file convert.ori over the convert.ini file.
You you can start with a new configuration by reopening the ELP Control Center
