Remarks

This implementation of dialogArguments applies only to print templates.

The properties of this object are available to a print template regardless of whether it displays a print preview user interface. Its most important property is __IE_PrintType, which specifies whether the template should prompt the user before printing. A print template usually queries this property to determine how to handle a print job.
