Control of printouts

rbuser

Hi,

I would like to provide a six sides document over the ReportBuilder. Page 1
and 2 is the first original. Page 3 and 4 is an identical second original.
Both are printed in the duplex.
Page 5 is in-one-sided document with identical contents of the pages 1 and
3.
This is to be printed also on one side with empty back.
Page 6 has completely different contents and is from another printer bin to
be printed on one side.Like I duplex and printer bin at run-time steer am
clear.
At present I sketch a report for all seven sides. That is however very
complex. Which possibilities of the summary from identical sides are there?

Thanks to help,

Dirk

Dirk,

The only way I can see to accomplish this is to format your report manually
so it will print the way you need it. You can do this by placing Section
style subreports for each new page and placing a blank subreport where you
would like the duplexing to stop. Below is a link to an example of how this
could be done.

Hi Nico,

as I am duplex and at run-time switch, I solved imported functions already
over in RAP.

But my question is, how I succeed several times same sides in a report in
the order specified above to print without which I it sketch several times
must?


Best regards

Dirk,

I'm not sure if I completely understand what you are asking. If you are
trying to print multiple copies of your duplexed report, try placing your
Report.Print command in a loop and printing from there.

Hallo Nico,

My goal is it the pages 1 same contained in the report of contents to have
to sketch 3 and 5 as well as 2 and 4 only once. A loop with print in the
program is not a good solution, because other users want to have this again
differently.


Cheers

Dirk,

Your best approach for this type of report would be to start by generating
all pages initially, pulling them out of the report, and placing them in a
list. Then you can reorder them as you like and send them to the device.
Below is an example that does something similar to this. The example simply
creates a new report page object and copies the existing DrawCommands from
the current one page report to the newly created page. Then the page is
added to the report and sent to the printer with duplexing on. This way you
receive a copy of the first page on the second page without actually
creating it by hand.
