PrintMethodsEnum

LabView ActiveX Properties and Methods

PrintMethodsEnum

Indicates how LabVIEW prints the data.

Name Value Description
Standard 0 Translates the VI print data (front panel, block diagram, icon, and so on) and sends it to the printer using the standard operating system drawing commands. You must use this option if the printer does not have PostScript support or if you want the printer driver to handle the PostScript translation instead of LabVIEW.
PostScript 1 Translates the VI print data in PostScript (.ps) format and sends it to the printer as PostScript commands. Do not use this option if the printer or printer driver does not support PostScript printing. PostScript printouts reproduce the image of the screen, including patterns, line styles, and fonts, more accurately.
Bitmap 2 Creates a bitmap, draws all data for that page into the bitmap, and sends the bitmap to the printer.
