Function result BLOB 
BLOB which stores the print settings
Description
The PV Print settings to blob command stores the current print settings of the 4D View area in a BLOB.
The BLOB stores all the settings used for printing:
• Layout parameters (paper, orientation, scale);
• Print parameters as such (number of copies, paper source, etc.).
On the other hand, the command does not store the print options specific to the 4D View plug-in (page headers, repetition of rows, etc.) that are found in the "Printing Options" dialog box.
This command can be used to save the print settings of the 4D View area, regardless of the printer model and accessible print settings. The BLOB returned must not be modified by programming; it can only be used by the PV BLOB TO PRINT SETTINGS command.
The PV Print settings to blob command can be used for example to save the current print settings before modifying an option temporarily using the PV SET PRINT PROPERTY command. Once printing is complete, the PV BLOB TO PRINT SETTINGS command can be used to restore the current parameters.
