PrintOptions.DownsampleGray property

Specifies whether grayscale bitmaps should be downsampled

Syntax:

Property Get DownsampleGray() As Boolean
Property Let DownsampleGray(ByVal Value As Boolean)

Remarks:

The DownsampleGray property returns or specifies a Boolean (True or False) value that indicates the resolution of grayscale bitmaps for printing.

Examples:

The following VBA example saves the current downsampling settings, changes the settings, and prints the document. The saved settings are then restored.

Sub Test()
  Dim bDownSampleColor As Boolean
  Dim bDownSampleGray As Boolean
  Dim bDownSampleMono As Boolean
  Dim DrawPrintOptions As PrintOptions
  Set DrawPrintOptions = ActiveDocument.PrintSettings.Options
  With DrawPrintOptions
    'save the current setting
    bDownSampleColor = .DownsampleColor
    bDownSampleGray = .DownsampleGray
    bDownSampleMono = .DownsampleMono
    'change the setting
    .DownsampleColor = True
    .DownsampleGray = True
    .DownsampleMono = False
  End With
  'print the document
  ActiveDocument.PrintOut
  'restore the downsample setting
  With DrawPrintOptions
    .DownsampleColor = bDownSampleColor
    .DownsampleGray = bDownSampleGray
    .DownsampleMono = bDownSampleMono
  End With
End Sub
