Initial raw data
The initial printer raw data will be sent to the client machine as initialization data, this data will be set as raw data.
The user should accept this data on the client side using Leadtools.Printer.Client.IVirtualPrinterClient.Startup(System.String,System.Byte[]) method and process the data accordingly.
The initial raw data will be sent to method.
