Ignoring the application DPI when printing

 

Some printing application doesn’t take into consideration the DPI of the Black Ice printer driver when the EMF meta data created. In this case the printed document has incorrect DPI values. This situation can be avoid if the Ignore Application DPI is set in the printer’s INI file.

 

Enter the following into the printer driver’s INI file:

 

[Default Settings]
Ignore Application Devmode=1

Ignore Application DPI=1

 

To enable the ‘Ignore Application DPI’ the ‘Ignore Application Devmode’ has to be set too.

 

If this section is not present, or if the value is 0, the driver will use the devmode provided by the printing application. The printer configurations must be restored from the configuration INI file in order to use the new value if this setting has been changed. In order to restore the printer configurations from the INI file, go to Control Panel -> Devices and Printers -> Right click on your printer driver -> Select the Printing Preferences -> Click on the Restore defaults button. The Printer Driver will restore the default settings from the .INI file..
