printing upside down

rbuser

Hi,

Does anyone knows how to print upside down ?

I have to print labels landscape (that, i can do from code), but i don't
find a property to print upside-down.

Thanks,

Peter

Does the Rotated Label component work for you?

Hi Jim,

Yes, this works.

But i was wondering if it is possible to change the orientation from code,
like i do to print landscape (PrinterSetup.Orientation := poLandscape).

Thanks,

Peter

RB doesn't have any built in support for this configuration. There was a
thread a few days ago, on printing 'header first' or footer first.' The
approach could be to save the DevMode structure and configure it at runtime
so that the printer can print upside down.
