Start printing on odd page

rbuser

I use RB10.04 and I have a report that varies in length. Sometimes it is
2 pages long, sometimes 7. Now, through a software feature, the report
is printed several times. I would like to print the report duplex. How
can I ensure that every time the report begins on an odd page, to
prevent that a new report starts on the back of the last page from the
previous report.

With kind regards,
Inge van Erp.

Hi Inge,

If you are printing entire report in duplex, it is the duty of the
printer to eject the final page once the print job has finished. This
would prevent any new print job from starting on the back side of a
previously used page. You mention that you are using a "software
feature" to print the report several times. Is this starting and ending
a new print job for each copy or are you simply using the Copies property?

If you are using the Copies property, you might try setting the
PrinterSetup.DelegateCopies property to True (in code) and see if that
solves the problem. This will allow the printer itself to handle
multiple copies rather than ReportBuilder.

We hope that in the future you will consider upgrading your version of
ReportBuilder to the latest (12.04). This version includes numerous
powerful new features as well as the ability to start a group on an odd
page which can be very helpful with duplex printing.

I recommend downloading a trial version of RB 12 and perform the same test.
RB 12 includes logic to automatically generate an extra blank page for the
case in which a duplexed report prints an odd number of pages.

The reportbuilder is build in software we bought it is not possible for
me to run the same test in RB12 unfortenally. Thanks for your answer anyway.
