- iConfigure and iParameter
iParameter (Function) In french: iParamètre Retrieves the configuration of the printer and configures the print. To configure the print: - open the window for print configuration: quality, number of copies, ...
If the information is validated by the user, the changes are performed for the current application only.
This option is not available. Indeed, no window can be displayed on the server. - configure the print characteristics (quality, number of copies, ...) without opening the configuration window.
By default, the setting is valid until the next call to iParameter or to iReset (in this last case, the default Windows settings will be used during the next print). To save the parameters modified by iParameter so that they become the default parameters of Windows, use iParameter associated with the iPrinterDefault constant.
Calling iConfigure after iParameter reinitializes the print module: the settings made are reset. Syntax
Retrieving the print parameters Hide the details
<Result> = iParameter(<Parameter to retrieve>)
<Result>: Type of parameter to retrieve (constant, integer, boolean, character string) Value of the desired parameter for the current printer. <Parameter to retrieve>: Constant Specifies the parameter to retrieve from the current printer configuration. The result will depend on the parameter retrieved.
| | iCollate | Defines how the pages are collated. If this parameter is used, <Result> is a boolean that can hold one of the following values: - True if the pages are collated (print the pages 1, 2, 3 ... of the first set, then the pages 1, 2, 3, ... of the second set, ...).
- False if the pages are not collated (print all the copies of page 1, then all the copies of page 2, ...). Caution: This option consumes a lot of memory.
| iColor | Used to find out the management mode of colors. If this parameter is used, <Result> can take one of the following constants as value:
- iColor_Color: Print in color

| iYResolution | Modifies vertical resolution (in dots per inch). If this parameter is used, <Parameter value> is an integer. |
<Parameter value>: Type of the parameter to modify (constant, integer, boolean, character string) Value of parameter to modify. This value depends on the parameter to modify. Remarks Modifying the print parameters via constants If the printer does not support the requested settings, the returned value will be different from the one passed as parameter. For example, to use the A3 format with a printer that does not support the A3 format:
IF iParameter(iPaperSize, iPaperSize_A3) = False THEN
END
The value passed as parameter and the result of iParameter can correspond to a constant or to a value corresponding to a specific parameter of printer driver. For example:
ModeAlimentation is int
ModeAlimentation = iParameter(iPaperSource)
SWITCH ModeAlimentation
CASE iPaperSource_Auto
Info("Alimentation papier : mode automatique")
CASE iPaperSource_Lower
Info("Alimentation papier : bac du bas")
CASE iPaperSource_Cassette
Info("Alimentation papier : bac à cassette")
CASE iPaperSource_Manual
Info("Alimentation papier : manuelle")
CASE iPaperSource_Envelope
Info("Alimentation papier : bac à enveloppe")
CASE iPaperSource_Middle
Info("Alimentation papier : bac du milieu")
CASE iPaperSource_EnvelopeManual
Info("Alimentation papier : enveloppe manuelle")
CASE iPaperSource_OnlyOne
Info("Alimentation papier : une seule feuille")
CASE iPaperSource_SmallFormat
Info("Alimentation papier : petit format")
CASE iPaperSource_LargeCapacity
Info("Alimentation papier : grande capacité")
CASE iPaperSource_Tractor
Info("Alimentation papier : mode tracteur")
CASE iPaperSource_LargeFormat
Info("Alimentation papier : grand format")
CASE iPaperSource_Upper
Info("Alimentation papier est le bac haut")
OTHER CASE
Info(StringBuild("Alimentation papier : %1. " + ...
"Correspond à un paramètre spécifique " + ...
"du driver d'impression.", ModeAlimentation))
END
Miscellaneous - iParameter must not be called in the processes of a report created with the report editor.
- All the parameters supported by this function are not necessarily supported by all the printers.
- If iParameter is used with a network printer (especially to modify the default parameters of the printer), make sure the computer that performs this operation has "Printer management" rights. Otherwise, the modification will not be performed.
- It is not possible to change to another paper tray during the print job. In this case, you must perform several prints, each one using a different paper tray.
