- TITLE: Improving Print Quality of Bitmaps Pasted from Clipboard
- PRODUCT: Ami Pro 3.0
- DATE: 18-Dec-1992
-
- PROBLEM:
-
- Some bitmap graphics pasted from the Windows Clipboard do not print a high
- quality image on an HP LaserJet series II printer.
-
- SOLUTION:
-
- Due to optimization methods to increase print speed with HP LaserJet series II
- and compatible printers, some bitmap graphic images pasted from the Clipboard
- do not print a high quality image. To determine if these optimization methods
- are the reason for the reduced image quality, disable Ami Pro's Print in
- Background option and reprint the file.
-
- If the quality improves for your image, you can obtain a modified AMIPRINT.EXE
- file from Lotus which will allow you to continue using the Print in Background
- option and still get an improved quality graphic image printed. The file is
- available electronically from the Lotus WPD bulletin board at 404-395-7707 or
- from the [Ami Pro-Technotes] library on the LotusWP CompuServe forum.
- Download the file AMIPRT.EXE from either location. You can also obtain the
- file on disk by calling the Lotus Word Processing Division Customer Service
- Department at 404-399-5505 (the disk obtained from customer service contains
- the single file AMIPRINT.EXE rather than the compressed AMIPRT.EXE).
-
- HOW TO DISABLE PRINT IN BACKGROUND
-
- 1. In Ami Pro choose Tools / User Setup.
- 2. Choose Options.
- 3. Remove the X from the "Print in Background" Speed Option.
- 4. Choose OK.
- 5. Choose OK.
-
- HOW TO INSTALL THE MODIFIED AMIPRINT.EXE FILE
-
- 1. Exit Ami Pro if it is running.
- 2. At the Windows Program Manager, start the File Manager.
- 3. Note: If you obtained AMIPRT.EXE, it is a self-extracting file which must
- be executed (run) to extract the file AMIPRINT.EXE. Copy the modified
- AMIPRINT.EXE file (probably on a floppy disk in drive A or B) to the Ami
- Pro program subdirectory on the hard drive (usually drive C). Specify Yes
- to replace the existing file.
- 4. Press ALT + F4 to close File Manager.
- 5. Start Ami Pro.
- 6. Repeat steps 1-5 in the section titled HOW TO DISABLE PRINT IN BACKGROUND
- except in step 3, place an X in the "Print in Background" Speed Option.
