With the release of version 15.70, the latest Black Ice X1 Printer Drivers now include a NEW text output for “Custom Layout” feature. The “Custom layout” format can be used to generate accurate text output for Medical Forms such as CMS-1500, UB04, and ADA, for dental claims.

The extracted text output can then be utilized to automate the submitting of medical claims and more.

The Text output format is in a "80/62” column and row format with grid based character positioning when using proportional fonts like Helvetica. Proportional fonts are any font where each letter uses the same amount of horizontal spacing, i.e. w is the same width as q.

The number of columns and rows can also be adjusted for other line printer applications such as a 132/62 column and row format. This allows for the text output and the margins to be fine-tuned to specific applications improving accuracy.

Version 15.70 Also include addition new features and improvement. The Print Manager Administrator Tab now allows saving the administrator printer driver configuration for all Users.
This feature is beneficial to customers who have only 1-5 Server licenses but want to configure the printer driver for all users and does not wish to go through INI file editing for MSI installations to pre-configure the printer driver.
