The Layout tab contains the following
options:
- Spacing
- Spacing settings are used for two purposes: during LU1 print jobs
to tell the emulation when to insert form feeds and during font auto-sizing
to instruct the printer emulator how to scale the font to fit the
page.
- Presentation
- Print Quality: Select Draft mode or Near
Letter Quality mode when in Pass Through Mode using a printer definition
file that supports draft or NLQ modes.
- Duplex Mode: Select to control single
or double-sided printing. Only works in Windows API mode.
- Override Host Presentation Settings: If
checked, BlueZone is forced to ignore presentation settings sent from
the host and use these presentation settings.
- Print Scaling
- Scale Factor: This edit box allows enlarging
or reducing the printed output by the selected percentage. Only works
in Windows API mode.
Auto-Size Fonts to fit the Paper
Size: If checked, BlueZone fits the font to the page based
on the spacing settings set by the host or set by the emulator.
Scale Fonts to Closest Point Size: This
feature is useful when auto-sizing fonts yields different font sizes
for normal and bold text.
Note: In Windows API mode, the auto-size font option scales to
fit the page exactly. In pass-through mode, a printer definition
file is required, and scales to the nearest fixed font size supported
by the printer.
