Follow these steps for using Windows explorer to show folder size method:. Go to File Explorer Options. Click on 'View' tab. Tick the box beside the option 'Display file size information in folder tips' in the advanced settings dialog box. When you view folders as larger icons, the tooltip will display the size in MB rather than KB. I can't seem to find a way to make the detail view do the same thing.
-->This article provides a resolution for an issue where the size of the Enhanced Metafile (EMF) spool file grows very big when you print a document that contains many groups of raster data.
Original product version: Windows Server 2012 R2
Original KB number: 919543
Original KB number: 919543
Symptoms
When you print a document that contains lots of raster data, the size of the Enhanced Metafile (EMF) spool file may become very large. Files such as Adobe .pdf files or Microsoft Word .doc/.docx documents may contain lots of raster data. Adobe .pdf files and Word .doc/.docx documents that contain gradients are even more likely to contain lots of raster data.
Cause
This problem occurs because Graphics Device Interface (GDI) doesn't compress raster data when the GDI processes EMF spool files and generates EMF spool files.
This problem is very prominent with printers that support higher resolutions. The size of the raster data increases by four times if the dots-per-inch (dpi) in the file increases by two times. For example, a .pdf file of 1 megabyte (MB) may generate an EMF spool file of 500 MB. Therefore, you may notice that the printing process decreases in performance.
Resolution
To resolve this problem, bypass EMF spooling. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open the properties dialog box for the printer.
- Click the Advanced tab.
- Click the Print directly to the printer option.
Note
This will disable all print processor-based features such as the following features:
- N-up
- Watermark
- Booklet printing
- Driver collation
- Scale-to-fit
Once EMF spooling is turned off, you can use the Application to perform any N-up printing needed.
