The Windows API print driver is used by most Windows programs
when printing documents and graphics. It provides extensive formatting,
graphics, and printer control capabilities. This is the default setting
for BlueZone Printer Emulators.
When to use:
- Use with any EBCDIC printer data stream when auto-sizing the font
and a nearly perfect fit is required.
- Use when printing a Windows True Type Font.
- Use by default when the target printer is unknown. Check the Use Default Windows Printer on Startup check box.
When not to use:
- When exact font size is necessary to print on preprinted forms.
Windows scales True Type fonts to the nearest pixel resulting in slight
misalignments when compared to fixed CPI fonts resident in the printers.
- Draft mode printing on dot matrix printers.
- ASCII Transparent Printing
- iSeries Host Print Transform
Settings required in the Print Setup property sheet are necessary
to properly configure the emulator for this feature.
- Click from the menu bar.
- Click the Passthrough tab and define
the following:
- Clear the Send all Data Directly to the Printer check box.
