Duplex Printer

rbuser

One of our customer has a Duplex Printer and he says that since the new
RB the Backpage is printing vertical instead of horizontal.

What can we do that the backpage is also printing horizontal. The
property Duplex is set to dpHorizontal.

Sorry, I've misunderstand my customer.

The problem is, in the Report Template Duplex is set to horizontal. But
if he print the report it prints vertical. He can change the option of
the printer but next time the option is again on vertical.

How can I set this option to the same option as it is set in the Report
Template.

I've tested it now with debugger and indeed. Before I'm printing the
report Report.PrinterSetup.Duplex is set to dpVertical. In the Report
Template I've set dpHorizontal.

Is this a bug of RB 10?

It seems that dpVertical and dpHorizontal is exchanged.

1. If I set in Report Template to dpVertical then if I Print the Report
it is printing Horizontal. (Report.PrinterSetup.Duplex=dpHorizontal)

2. If I set in Report Template to dpHorizontal then if I Print the
Report is printing Vertical. (Report.PrinterSetup.Duplex=dpVertical)

So I've looked in your code :

TppDuplexType = (dpNone, dpVertical, dpHorizontal);

I've think it should changed the position of dpVertical and
dpHorizontal. Because in the designer in the drop down list, there is
First Horizontal and then Vertical.

Or the position should changed in the designer?

I did not see this post before. In my newsreader it shows up on an old
thread from 2004.

Please update to RB 10.05 - it contains the correct DuplexType declaration
and other bug fixes reported by customers. If you did not recieve
information about RB 10.05, please send an email with your serial and
registration info to info@ and request it.

Hi Nard,

I have already installed 10.05. And there exists the problem as I've
described. I think it should only changed the order of Vertical and
Horizontal in the Designer (dm0121.pas) or the order of tppDuplexType in
ppTypes.pas.

TppDuplexType = (dpNone, dpHorizontal, dpVertical);

instead of

TppDuplexType = (dpNone, dpVertical, dpHorizontal);

- for RB 10.05, we updated TppDuplexType enum to be dpNone, dpVertical,
dpHorizontal because the ordinal values need to translate to the Windows
DevMode dmDuplex value.

- I did some research and looks like the PageSetupDialog and demo121.pas
need to be updated, so that the drop down list is in the same order as the
TppDuplexType. These are now fixed. You can email
support@digital-metaphors.com and request updates.
