Printing to Letterhead

rbuser

Is there anyway in ReportBuilder to control what Printer tray the first page
goes to? We need to print the first page on Letterhead.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help.

Tech Tip: Selecting Paper Bins for Each Page
--------------------------------------------


Sometimes you may want to print the first page of a report to the
manual bin and then print the remaining pages to the default bin.

You can use the Report.OnStartPage event to set the bin for any page.


Example:

procedure TForm1.ppReport1OnStartPageEvent(Sender:TObject);
var
lsBinName: String;

begin

if ppReport1.AbsolutePageNo = 1 then
lsBinName := ppReport1.PrinterSetup.BinNames[3]
else
lsBinName := ppReport1.PrinterSetup.BinNames[1];


ppReport1.Engine.Page.PrinterSetup.BinName := lsBinName;


end;



Note: The above example assumes the manual bin is 4th in the list (remember
its a 0 based index). To account for different print drivers, you could
search for the 'manual' bin in code by performing a search on the printer's
available bin names:

for liBin := 0 to ppReport1.PrinterSetup.BinNames.Count-1 do
if Pos('manual', ppReport1.PrinterSetup.BinNames[liBin]) > 0 then
begin
lsBinName := ppReport1.PrinterSetup.BinNames[liBin];
break;

end;
