Setting the default printer for an in-process server
To enable advanced imaging, you must set the REPORTS_DEFAULT_DISPLAY
environment variable to YES. The REPORTS_OUTPUTIMAGEFORMAT environment
variable lets you choose the default image type. Users can override the default choice
for images with the OUTPUTIMAGEFORMAT command line keyword. For example:
rwclient server=my_rep_server report=images.rdf destype=file desformat=html
desname=images.html userid=scott/tiger outputimageformat=PNG
Enabling advanced imaging also allows you to import images of these same formats
into your report.
Usage Notes
Note: As you choose your image format, you should take into
account the quality and size considerations. Typically, the higher
the quality of the image format, the greater the size. For example,
PNG and JPEG are higher quality than GIF, but they may also
require more storage space.
■ Enabling advanced imaging means that you can no longer use the old CGM and
OGD formats in outputs of type HTML or HTMLCSS. If you require these formats
for input sources, you should set REPORTS_DEFAULT_DISPLAY to NO. This
limitation does not apply on the Windows platform
■ Running a report with JPEG images (REPORTS_OUTPUTIMAGEFORMAT=JPEG)to
RTF causes an increase in the RTF file size that is not directly proportionate to the
image size.The reason being that the binary image stream is first converted to HEX
characters and then written to RTF. This conversion increases the file size. This is
as per the RTF specification and is expected behavior. However, an RTF file with
JPEG images is of a smaller size when compared to an RTF with BMP images.

3.8 Setting the default printer for an in-process server
The in-process server does not recognize the default printer of a user currently logged
on to Windows. This is because the service that runs the in-process server is logged on
as the Local System. Therefore, you might face the following issues:
■ Printing to default printer fails with the REP_3002 error. For example, the
following command:
