Driver Preference
Hi there,
We normaly create labels on a workstation. These labels are stored somewhere on a networkshare.
Our application uses the .Net Print SDK.
Now we wil be using a local printer driver to print the labels.
We are creating a LabelFormatDocument like this:
[code]LabelFormatDocument btFormat = btEngine.Documents.Open(Labelname, Printerdrivername);[/code]
Now, which settings does BarTender use, the settings in the local printerdriver or the settings in the Document Properties.
Where using BT 9.4 Automation Edition

Normally it would use the document property settings that are embedded into the BarTender document file. However, that might not be the case if the driver is configured to ignore such embedded document settings, or the printer model differs greatly from what was selected and configured in the original document, thus preventing print settings being transferred to the current printer driver in use. 0 -

Thanks Ian,
Could you point me the setting in the Seagull driver where it could be configured to ignore document settings?
We are using the CAB A4+ 300dpi driver.0 -
Open the driver properties, select the "Tools" tab, click the "Driver Options" button, select the "Network Settings" tab in the new dialog that opens, the item in question is the "Share settings between all documents" checkbox.
The Help description for this setting is as follows: Some applications store printing preferences when saving documents. When this feature is enabled, the printing preferences specified from the Printers Folder will always be used, and any settings stored with documents will be ignored.0 -
Thanks,
I would not have found that by myself.
We will test this on Customers site.0
