Query results

const char * sSize;

Name of standard paper size

const char * sSource;

Name of Source (type of paper tray)
"Manual" for manual feed

long yLength;

Length (height) of paper in twips

long xWidth;

Width of paper in twips

long yPaperFeed;

0 unless sSize is Custom
Distance in twips to offset the image area vertically (from end to end) on the paper or film, to compensate for device-specific adjustment problems

long xPaperMargin;

0 unless sSize is Custom
Distance in twips to offset the image area laterally (from side to side), to adjust for a non-standard media width

short bOrientation;

0 (zero) for normal orientation of custom paper
1 for transverse orientation of custom paper
-2 if paper size is standard (not custom)

short bCenter;

0 for Center Page in Print Area off
1 for Center Page in Print Area on

short cTiling;

0 for no tiling
1 for manual tiling
2 for automatic tiling

long xOverlap;

Minimal amount of overlap (to a maximum of five inches), in twips, if cTiling is 2 (auto tiling)

short cScaleType;

0 (zero) for scaling the publication by the amount specified by nVal
1 for Scale to Paper Size selected
2 for printing the number of Thumbnails specified by nVal

short nVal;

Percentage for numeric scaling in tenths of a percent (where 100% is returned as 1000) if cScaleType is 0 in tenths of percent (100.0% = 1000), although command uses only whole percent ages]
Number of thumbnails per page, from 1 to 100, if cScaleType is 2
-2 if cScaleType is 1

short cDuplex;

0 (zero) obsolete parameter; you get duplex-printing settings with the PGetPrintFeature query

bCenter. PageMaker normally centers the page within the page boundaries (bCenter = 0). Since most printers have symmetrical imageable areas, this works fine. You need to use Center Page in Print Area only when printing to a printer which has an asymmetrical imageable area (such as the QMS ColorScript).

bOrientation. The bOrientation parameter returns -2 unless the page is a custom page (sSize is set to Custom).
