6.1.3 Graphics Dump Data
The fDump dialog box contains controls which specify how the printer
processes bytes of graphics data, whether the printer supports color at the
specified resolution. You display the fDump dialog box by double-clicking
the fDump entry in the Resolution Bitwords list box. The fDump dialog box
is shown in the following illustration:
bitmap: fdump
The following list describes the significance of the controls in the fDump
dialog box:
Control Meaning
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
RES_DM_GDI Specifies that each byte of bitmapped data corresponds
to 8 consecutive horizontal pels of bitmapped data.
This is the same format used by the Windows graphics
device interface (GDI).
RES_DM_LEFT_BOUND Specifies that the Universal Printer Driver should
attempt to minimize the amount of raster data sent to
the printer in each band. The Universal Printer Driver
will do this by substituting cursor-movement commands
in place of white space raster data to the left of the
bounding rectangle that contains all the raster data in
the band that can be printed. If this bit is not set,
the Universal Printer Driver will control horizontal
positioning of raster data by moving to the leftmost
printing position on the page and padding the null
raster data.
RES_DM_COLOR Specifies that the printer supports color output at the
specified resolution.
Diconix 150 Plus
For the Diconix 150 Plus printer, each byte of bitmapped data corresponds
to a vertical column (not a horizontal row) of 8 adjacent pels; therefore,
the RES_DM_GDI box is not checked. The optimization described for the
RES_DM_LEFT_BOUND bit are preferred, so that bit is checked. This printer
does not support color output at any resolution, so the RES_DM_COLOR box is
not checked.
HP LaserJet IIP
For the HP LaserJet IIP printer, each byte of data corresponds to 8
consecutive horizontal pels, so the RES_DM_GDI box is checked. However,
this printer does not support color output at any resolution, so the
RES_DM_COLOR box is not checked.
