Bold looking characters in printouts

When using the Universal Printer Driver for Client Printing, users can experience where text prints with a heavier typeface than is specified or a low quality typeface. This is most seen with characters that are retrieved by a field within Uniface application.

Uniface Anywhere Host administrators, can change the following settings within the Uniface Anywhere properties to address this issue.

Find on the HOST the file: C:\\ProgramData\\Uniface\\Uniface Anywhere\\HostProperties.xml and open it with a standard text editor.

Note: The directory C:\\ProgramData\\ is a hidden directory by default.

Change the value of EnablePrintOptions from false to true

    
        true
    

Change the value of the PrintOptions property to: -raster2

    
        -raster2
    

For changes to the HostProperties.xml file, the 'Uniface Anywhere Application Publishing Service' (APS) needs to be restarted.

A consequence of setting the raster, could be that a shift in the printing margins can take place.

To correct the print margins, add the -printermargins value with the -xoffset and -yoffset settings to the PrintOptions property.

    
        -raster2 -printermargins -xoffset 0 -yoffset 0
    

The -xoffset can be a negative number (eg. -50) to move the margin to the left and positive number (eg. 50) to move it to the right of the page.

The -yoffset can be a negative number (eg. -30) to move the margin to the top and positive number (eg. 30) to move it to the bottom of the page.
