Some printing applications, most notable Microsoft Office Products, will store printer settings in the document itself, and will ignore the current printer settings in favor of the stored settings. Using this feature will instruct the Black Ice Printer Driver to ignore the Black Ice specific settings received from the printing application, such as image file format, output directory, start application parameters, etc. The non Black Ice specific settings such as paper size, DPI, and orientation will be applied as passed from the application in order to allow the printing application to correctly format the document.
Enter the following into the printer driver’s INI file:
[Default Settings]
Ignore Application Devmode=1
If this section is not present, or if the value is 0, the driver will use the devmode provided by the printing application. The printer configurations must be restored from the configuration INI file in order to use the new value if this setting has been changed. In order to restore the printer configurations from the INI file, go to Control Panel -> Devices and Printers -> Right click on your printer driver -> Select the Printing Preferences -> Click on the Restore defaults button. The Printer Driver will restore the default settings from the .INI file.
