Form Feed

rbuser

I am using D6 Ent and RB 7.04 Prof.

I have a program that generates invoices. All the invoices are generated as
one big report and only a few go over to the second page. I am converting
this program to use a Duplex printer, so those that need 2 pages will simply
print the second page on the back of the 1st, but how do I get all the rest
to print a blank page on the back. I've tried to implement a form feed for
all the single page reports to accomplish this but can't figure out how to
do it.

This report has groups on it, so I guess one way to accomplish this is to
increase the group footer band size to force it to overflow onto a new page
(the back of the 1st page). This would only be done if the invoice was a
1-pager, but it seems there should be an easier way to do this.

I also assume I can't change the Duplex mode mid-report, that is to print
one invoice as duplex, but then the next as Simplex, since all the invoices
are within one RB report.

What is your recommendation on how to do this?

Thanks,
Eric Buescher

Hi Eric,

The easiest way around this issue is to make each invoice its own print job.
This can easily be done by moving all your invoice information to a Section
Style subreport, which resides by itself in the detail band of the main
report. Then be sure to set the TppSubreport.NewPrintJob property to True
and you will get the desired effect.
