The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

#define GETSCALINGFACTOR 14 
short Control(lpDevice, GETSCALINGFACTOR, NULL, lpFactors)
LPPDEVICE lpDevice;
LPPOINT lpFactors;
 
The GETSCALINGFACTOR escape retrieves the scaling factors for the x and y
axes of a printing device. For each scaling factor, the escape copies an
exponent of two to the location pointed to by the lpFactors parameter. For
example, the value three is copied to lpFactors for a scaling factor of
eight.
 
Scaling factors are used by printing devices that cannot provide the same
resolution as the device resolution. This escape communicates to GDI the
factor by which it needs to stretch bitmaps when sending them to the
printer.
 
Parameter  Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
 
lpDevice   Points to a PDEVICE structure specifying the destination device.
 
lpFactors  Points to a POINT structure that receives the horizontal and
           vertical scaling factors in the x and y members, respectively.
 
Return Value
 
The return value is positive if the escape is successful. Otherwise, it is
negative.
