PREVIEWMODE Set_Printer Message
Description
The PREVIEWMODE message is used to set the print preview mode.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description of Fields | Comments | Default | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parm1 - PREVIEWMODE | <1> PreviewMode | 0=Screen Compatible 1=Printer Compatible 2=Monochrome | 0 |
|
Remarks
The PreviewMode parameter sets how the print preview displays the reports. Use a PreviewMode of 0 if you are printing color reports, 1 for mostly black and white and 2 for all black and white.
If you are going to print documents that consist mostly of black and white text, then you can save a lot of memory and improve the speed by setting the PreviewMode to 2.
Note: The Professional version does not support this feature, and this message will only work with the Standard version.
