Preventing InfoPrint from using GRID files

If you have a 300-pel printer but you print 240-pel jobs, the printer-resident fonts might have different line spacings and endings in the printed output. For some types of billing statements, these line endings are inappropriate. You can solve this problem by preventing InfoPrint from using the GRID files, which in turn keeps InfoPrint from using printer-resident fonts.
  1. Rename your customized GRID files. For example, open Windows Explorer and navigate to the <install path>\var\psf\PrinterName directory, where PrinterName is the InfoPrint actual destination that you do not want to use GRID files with. Find the charset.grd file and right-click it. From the pop-up menu, select Rename and change the name to charset.grd.bak.
  2. Open the file <install path>\grd\charset.grd.sample in a text editor such as Notepad.
  3. Click File → Save as. Rename the file charset.grd and save it into the same <install path>\var\psf\PrinterName directory that you were working with in step 1.
  4. Edit the charset.grd file and place a dash (–) in the fgid column.
  5. Save your changes and close the file.
  6. Open the file <install path>\grd\codepage.grd.sample in a text editor such as Notepad.
  7. Click File → Save as. Rename the file codepage.grd and save it into the same <install path>\var\psf\PrinterName directory that you were working with in step 1.
  8. Edit the copied codepage.grd file and place a dash (–) in the cpgid column.
  9. Save your changes and close the file.
