Controlling the
Engine
To control the print4mobile™
Engine, which itself has no user interface, you must
issue Engine API function calls from another mobile
software application. The callable functions in the
Engine API are fully documented in the print4mobile™ manual.
The mobile software application
from which the Engine API function calls are made
can be your own (in which case the capabilities of
the print4mobile™ Engine shall be fully and
transparently embedded into your application) or
your end-users can use the print4mobile™ Viewer, a
single purpose mobile application for selecting,
generating and outputting reports on demand.
|
The print4mobile™
Engine API consists of a simple set of callable functions. The
only change you need to make to your mobile software
application source code is to add the Engine
API function calls at each point where you need to
generate a report.
As part of your application's
function call you pass to the Engine the parameters
required for report generation.
The Engine then manages
everything associated with generating the report
using current data and controlling the output of
this report to your selected output destination -
portable printer, mobile device display or text file.
