After printing, ActMask Virtual Printer Driver SDK converts print job to target format, creates an INI file contains all printing information and passes this INI file to your application (please see Transfer Mode).

The INI file contains TerminalName*, ComputerName, UserName, DocumentName, TotalPages, PaperSize, PageWidth, PageHeight, Orientation, Copies, PrintQuality, Resolution, Color, Collate, JobPagesPerSide*, JobId, more and more!

* Only our ActMask SDK has ability to provide this core printing parameter.

You can call Windows API GetPrivateProfileString to receive value from specified section in the INI file. For more details, please see MS SDK.
DWORD GetPrivateProfileString(LPCTSTR lpKeyName, LPCTSTR lpValueName, LPCTSTR lpDefault, LPTSTR lpReturnedString,
DWORD nSize, LPCTSTR lpFileName);

DEVMODEA data.
DEVMODEW data.

Number of copies printed.
Orientation of the paper. This member can be either DMORIENT_PORTRAIT (1) or DMORIENT_LANDSCAPE (2).

Specifies the print job is color or monochrome. Following are the possible values: DMCOLOR_COLOR (2), DMCOLOR_MONOCHROME (1).

Specifies whether collation is used when printing multiple copies. Following are the possible values: DMCOLLATE_TRUE (1), DMCOLLATE_FALSE (0).

Pages of per Sheet (Pages per Side of print job). Only our SDK provides this parameter.
Id of print job.
Number of pages.

Form(paper size) name.
Width of the paper specified by print job, in millimeters.
Length of the paper specified by print job, in millimeters.
Width of the paper specified by print job, in pixels.
Length of the paper specified by print job, in pixels.

Size of the paper to print on. This member can be set to zero if the length and width of the paper are both set by the PaperWidth and PaperLenght members. For more details, please see DEVMODE struct in MS SDK.

Width of the paper, in tenths of a millimeter.
Length of the paper, in tenths of a millimeter.

Specifies the printer resolution. There are four predefined device-independent values:
DMRES_HIGH, DMRES_MEDIUM, DMRES_LOW, DMRES_DRAFT
If a positive value is specified, it specifies the number of dots per inch (DPI) and is therefore device dependent.

Specifies the x-resolution, in dots per inch, of the printer.
Specifies the y-resolution, in dots per inch, of the printer.
