Command Line Parameters for the Graphics Device Interface Printer Test (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
Tux can pass command line parameters to test DLLs using the -c option. Each parameter has an associated value separated by a space. Because of this space, the parameter list must always be enclosed in quotation marks. The exceptions are /DrawToPrimary and /?, which do not have associated values.
When passing in parameters, the /Driver, /Device, and /Output parameters must be present. If any are missing, the parameters will be ignored and a print dialog will appear to gather the information.
The following table shows the command line parameters for the Graphics Device Interface (GDI) Printing Test, passed in through the Tux -c option.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
/? |
Output usage information |
/DrawToPrimary |
For manual verification of the images drawn to the primary |
/Driver name |
Specifies the driver. If this parameter is not specified, all parameters are ignored and a print dialog requests the information. |
/Device name |
Specifies the device. If this parameter is not specified, all parameters are ignored and a print dialog requests the information. |
/Output port |
Specifies the output device; for example, LPT1. If this parameter is not specified, all parameters are ignored and a print dialog requests the information. |
/Copies n |
Specifies the integer number of copies |
/Quality specify |
Specifies the print quality: Draft or High |
/Color specify |
Specifies the color: Monochrome or Color |
/Orientation specify |
Specifies the page orientation: Portrait or Landscape |
/Papersize specify |
Specifies the size of the paper: Letter, Legal, A4, B4, or B5 |
The following examples show how to run the GDI Printing Test under specific configurations.
To run this test on an image with a shell, using the print dialog to configure it:
tux -o -d gdiprint
To run this test on a headless image and give the print parameters through the command line:
tux –o –dgdiprint –c "/Driver pcl.dll /Device Inkjet /Output LPT1 /Copies 1 /Quality Draft /Color Monochome /Orientation Portrait /Papersize Letter"
