When you want to print from InterFormNG, then InterFormNG need to know which mime type (printer language) to send to the printer. It must be a printer language, that is supported by the connected printer.

 

The mime type can either be set on the specific printer (if defined) or set via the meta data key, interformng.mimeType during processing. The values for the meta data key are listed below:

 

These mime types can be defined in InterFormNG:
