Printing images

rbuser

I am building a document control application, scanning documents and
adding the ability to print the documents using a report builder ppImage
component to display the scanned image. The ppImage component is
resized to the size of the paper and takes much less than a second to
load the image from the tif file into the ppImage.

Using D5, RB 6.05, PIII 256m, NT2000

The problem:

It takes 5 to 7 MINUTES to print each page. This was timed by
breakpointing the band BeforePrint where the image is loaded.

Where can I look to find out where all this time is going and how
do I fix it.

How large is the image? How fast does it print if you print from another
imaging application? You can try toggling the DirectDraw property to see if
that speeds it up.

> How large is the image?

8 1/2 x 11 or scaled to the current paper size from the selected
paper. The only other thing on the page is one line of text with
identifying the document.


To print one page in word takes one to two seconds.


I will try it.

This seems to speed up the report considerably.
