EEU: print test pages

[Bert Frees]

I was thinking about how to make life easy for the testers, and I came up with this idea. What about adding an option like print test pages to EEU? (Similar to a test page to check the alignment of the cartridges of inkprinters.) The software would use the current settings (embosser, paper, mode, ...) to create a test document that you can preview and print. The document would have all kinds of features that make it easy for tester to validate it.

- a border of dots near the edges of the paper (to make sure a page fits on a sheet of paper)
- the 6-dot chart (to check if all characters are printed correctly)
- multiple pages
- (the butterfly image)
- ...

Generating this document would be very similar to generateTestBook in PEFGenerator, but without the random characters. I will give it a first try if you want.
What do you think? Would it be hard to incorporate this in EEU?

Hi Bert,

 

I think it is an excellent idea! Please go ahead and give it a try. I probably won’t be able to incorporate it in EEU though, since I only have about 30 hours of work left before I go on parental leave. If you want, you are welcome to make the changes to EEU yourself.

 

Best,

Joel
