Rendering Engine: Since the Printer Driver looks for the file with the “~i” command, the file
location specified within the command is relative to the sharing workstation on Windows.
• Under Windows Vista the default configuration is to render the job on the workstation
that is generating the print job.
• The bitmap image file must exist in the location specified on the sharing workstation or
on the printing workstation, depending upon your settings for that printer on the
workstation generating the print job.
Example: Place a “~iC:\Test\inhibit.bmp” text object within a Word Pad print job against a
non-shared (for example, local) printer under Windows XP to cause the Printer Driver to look
for a file with that name and location on the local workstation.
Note: This is because the Printer Driver processing occurs on the local workstation.
Inhibit Area Location: The location of the inhibit area within the print job is the upper left
hand corner, where the text object is placed upon the drawing within the application.
Note: The inhibit file bitmap must contain one bit per pixel (for example, monochrome).
Print Size: If the inhibit bitmap is larger than the page print size, it is trimmed to fit it. The
normal print size for a CR-80 card is 2.204 inches by 3.452 inches.
• With that print size, the maximum size of the inhibit bitmap area would be 661 pixels by
1035 pixels.
• If the inhibit bitmap is smaller than the page print size, it will still be used by the driver
and be referenced to the upper left hand corner of the ~i text object.
Bitmap Black Areas: The black areas of the bitmap are the areas that will correspond to
where the inhibit material will prevent the transfer of dyes on to the card.
