Using the Application For Inhibit Area Placement
The second way of using the Inhibit Panel feature is to use application software together with
control commands embedded within the application file. The application must support the
functionality of the “TextOut” feature.
• Not all applications provide this functionality. (Note: Applications which support TextOut
include Corel Draw, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft WordPad. Examples of applications
which do not support the use of TextOut commands are Notepad and Paint. Consult the
documentation of the application to determine if it supports the “TextOut” command)
• The data required from the application to support the Inhibit Panel feature is a “~i”
command within the print job itself. (Note: To form the command the “~i” is followed by
the file name of a bitmap file. There must be no space between the “~i” and the file name,
no quotation marks are required.)
• An example of an acceptable field is “~iC:\Test\inhibit.bmp”. The specified bitmap file is
merged with the rest of the data within the print job at the time the print job is processed
by the Windows printing system.
