Zip Wrapper allows you to scan a Zip disk and print a list of the contents. Once printed, the paper can then be trimmed along the printed lines and inserted in the Zip case.
Zip Wrapper 1.1 can be run on any Mac with Applescript. Applescript is standard on System 7.5 or greater.
Please Note: ZipWrapper is currently not compatible with the HP 800 or HP 600 series printers. Other HP printers should work fine. ( I do have one bug report with a HP 4mp using the HP LaserJet 8.3.1 driver) I will post an update for this problem as soon as it's available. I have had a report of the 9.2.2 printer driver fixing this problem on the 660c. The driver should be available at www.hp.com
Zip Wrapper will print:
Ñ up to 77 items
Ñ the date the disk was scanned
Ñ the name of the disk on the spine
Ñ The current space used on the disk (Optional using the "Show Space" button)
You can also insert a PICT file in place of the ZipWrapper logo. Simply click once on the ZipWrapper logo, and select a PICT file from the dialog box that appears. This is handy for displaying your own company logos. The maximum pict size is 1.75in. wide by 1.5in. tall. Any larger pict files will scale to fit automatically.
ZipWrapper does not scan for items inside of folders. So if you tend to bury things it may not be useful for you.
To use Zipwrapper just launch the program and choose "Scan New Zip" From the file menu or the controls window. Locate the Zip disk using the dialog box, and, when the name appears in the selection button, click once to select the disk. In a few moments, the contents of the Zip should appear in the window. If you wish to replace the ZipWrapper logo, click once on the logo and select a PICT file from the dialog box that appears. When you want to print just choose print from the file menu or the controls.
If you recieve a file not found error, it means that your printer is not selected in the chooser. If you recieve any other errors please send me a report at 12ftguru@mindspring.com
