Write Direct to Port

imageÓ format when printed, the Overlay option will automat- ically become inactive, and the Intensity will automatically increase to the recommended setting of 85%. When deselected, all options will return to their default settings. Select this option only when printing images for mug transfers.

Selecting this option allows the FotoFUN! printer driver to bypass the Windows 3.1 print manager or the print spooler of Windows 95 and to send all print data directly to the printer. When selected, this option devotes all of your system resources to the current print job, thus, increasing print speed and quality. When the print job is finished, your system resources will again be devoted to the normal function of your on-screen applications.

Depending upon the brand of your computer, you may or may not wish to select this option when printing. For most computers, selecting this option will enhance the rasterizing and printing process. In this case, the Write Direct to Port option should be selected. For some computers, however, this option may not be supported by the particular brand of PC and should not be selected.

Orientation

Select either Portrait or Landscape. Selecting Portrait causes the image to print in a vertical orientation. Selecting Landscape causes the image to print in a horizontal orientation. An icon illustrating the printed page helps you remember the difference between the two.
