yes
but i have the feeling that that isn't what you are looking for
what do you want to know?
one thing to keep in mind is that depending on the printer (and
printerdriver) it will not be possible to do wysiwyg kind of layout-ing
if the driver can render windows printouts then you're lucky
the most transfer printers use their own built in fonts wich makes them fast
the built in fonts will most probalby not be rendered correctly in the
designer since the correct font info isn't available
but apart from that all will work fine
it's just a matter of changing and checking the design by every change

Hello Marc,

We are looking for a nice way to use the internal multiplier of the TT
printers. We want to sent 1 labellayout-page to the printer
Holding 4 labels. And want to multiply these with the use of internal
multiplier of the printer. At this moment we are evaluating RB to do this
job but RB sends each page seperately to the printer, thus each page is to
be processed by the printer.
We found out that QuickReport handles this a bit better but we think RB is a
better solution for our end-users.
If you got any information about this matter please let me know.

Best Regards

You could create a single section style subreport for each label. Each
subreport can be configured to be sent as a separate print job by setting
the NewPrintJob property on the subreport to true. Then that would give
you a one page for each label. Then you could use the internal multiplier to
reprint the single label over and over.


Cheers,
