Value

Description

FILENAME

value

Specifies the full path and file name. If no path is defined, output will be saved in the current working directory.

SHOW_CANCEL_DIALOG

ON (default)

OFF

Specifies whether to suppress cancel dialog box during the print process.  

BACKGROUND_COLOR

value

Indicates the color to be used as background color of all pages of report.

BACKGROUND_TYPE

TILE

TOPLEFT

TOPCENTER

TOPRIGHT

CENTERLEFT

CENTER

CENTERRIGHT

BOTTOMLEFT

BOTTOMCENTER

BOTTOMRIGHT

Specifies the way background image has to be displayed in the BMP file.

BACKGROUND_FILE

value

Stores the image file name that is to be used as background image of all pages of report.

GRAYSCALE

ON

OFF

Determines whether the image output of a JPEG image is black and white, or color. Use GRAYSCALE for reading in and writing out, that is, for decompressing and compressing, a JPEG image. This property affects how the image is displayed.  

GRAYSCALE is used for speed in output optimization. When GRAYSCALE is set to ON, the color is separated from luminosity. Color takes the most time to decompress, so for previewing the image, GRAYSCALE can be set to True for speed. The output then contains 255 shades of gray.

PIXELFORMAT

1 : 1bit

4 : 4bit

8 : 8bit

15 : 15bit

16 : 16bit

24 : 24bit

32 : 32bit

Specifies the pixel format of the file (bits/pixel).

PROGRESSIVE_ENCODING

ON

OFF

Determines whether an image can be progressively displayed when it is decompressed.

QUALITY

1-100

Determines the closeness of the saved, JPEG image to the original.  As a side effect it also matter to the size of the saved file. Setting a larger value improves image quality but also increases file size; a smaller value decreases image quality and also reduces file size. Alter it according to the need.

SCALEX

value

Scaling factor for the width of the exported page. Use 1 for actual width.

SCALEY

value

Scaling factor for the height of the exported page. Use 1 for actual height.

OPEN

ON

OFF

Specifies whether the report should be opened after it is generated.

PAGE_SETTINGS

ALL

FIRST

LAST

PAGE_LIST

Specifies the option to print All, First, Last or a given number of pages. When PAGE_LIST is set as the value for PAGE_SETTINGS, the PAGE_LIST_VALUES parameter must be used with option in order to specify the page list.

PAGE_LIST_VALUES

value

Specifies the values for number of pages, such as, 3,5,8 or 3,8 or 3, or 1-3,8 or 3,5,9-15.  This option must be used with the PAGE_SETTINGS parameter when PAGE_LIST is specified.

PAGE_STYLE_SETTINGS

ALL    

FIRST

LAST

Page List  e.g.  1,4-6,10-12,20

Determines the pages in which the Page Style will appear on.

MARGIN_LEFT

value

Specifies the horizontal position on the page where printing should begin. All report component positions are relative to the margin. In other words, if the MARGIN_LEFT parameter is set to 0.25 inches and you place a report component in a band and set the component's "left" parameter to 0, then that component will print 0.25 inches from the edge of page (or at the left margin).

MARGIN_TOP

value

Specifies the vertical position on the page where printing should begin. All report component positions are relative to the margin. In other words, if the MARGIN_TOP parameter is set to 0.25 inches and you place a report component in a band and set the component's "top" parameter to 0, then that component will print 0.25 inches from the edge of page (or at the top margin).

MARGIN_RIGHT

value

Specifies the horizontal position on the page where printing should stop. All report component positions are relative to the margin.

MARGIN_BOTTOM

value

Specifies the vertical position on the page where printing should stop. All report component positions are relative to the margin.

EMAIL

ON

OFF

Specifies the report output (defined as FILENAME filename.ext ) to be sent via e-mail as an attachment. See additional options when EMAIL value is set to ON. EMAIL SET ON
