Identifier: print_bits

Type

numeric

Description

The number of bits-per-pixel to be used when dumping images to a print spool file. On some operating systems (e.g. Windows NT4) setting this value can drastically reduce the size of spool files when large images are being printed. The value may be set to a value 0,1,4,8,16 or 24. 0 will use the pixel depth of the display and is the startup value for this identifier. Any use of the -bit switch on the print command will temporarily override this value.

This identifier has no use on Unix systems.
