Modifying Driver Options

Open the Global driver settings dialog by selecting Start->WinRascol32->BLLConfand pressing Configure Drivers. The dialog looks like this:

∙Disk space usage sets the amount of free disk space the driver leaves minimally before reporting Disk Full.

∙Enable Power Smoothing Technology: This option enables a post processing feature that attempts to correct a gradient fill problem of PowerPoint 97. Gradient fills printed from PowerPoint 97 have very coarse steps and exhibit visible banding on high quality film recorders. This option interpolates between bands to ease the effect.

∙Enable Lotus Freelance Workaround: This switch enables a workaround for a bug in Lotus Freelance 97. Freelance 97 will preview and print in black and white on true color printers. Enabling this switch hides the fact that Lasergraphics film recorders are true color devices from applications.

Note: Enabling this switch may affect printing from other applications adversely.

Note: Lotus will try to fix this problem in future releases.
