How to uses spcial printer functions?

rbuser

Hi,

we have a new printer: Konica Minolta Bizhub C454e

Ths printers has same special functions after finishing. For example
"stapling" or "punching".

How can I start this with ReportBuilder? Maybe in ReportPrintingComplete?

We have actually RB 14.08 for Delphi 7.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Kind regards,

Gerd,

Select the Report in the Object Inspector. Set
Report.Printersetup.PrinterName to the desired printer. Next, locate the
Report.PrinterSetup.DeviceSettings property press the Edit button. The
Printer's property dialog will be displayed and you can configure printer
specific features.

From the RBuilder help topic for TppDeviceSettings....

Use DeviceSettings to configure a Printer's proprietary features (print
quality, color, stapler, etc.)

At design-time, use the Report Designer's Object Inspector to select the
PrinterSetup.DeviceSettings property. Next, press the Edit... button to
display the Printer's built-in properties dialog. Prior to closing the
dialog press the OK button to save changes. This will cause the
PrinterSetup.SaveDeviceSettings property to toggle to True.

At run-time, call the EditDeviceSettings method to display the Printer's
built-in properties dialog.

The following methods can be used to save and load DeviceSettings:
LoadDeviceSettingsFromFile, LoadDeviceSettingsFromStream,
SaveDeviceSettingsToFile, SaveDeviceSettingsToStream.

Hello Nard,

thank you for your quick response.

It's seems not very difficult. So every user can save his own
DeviceSettings.

Very good!
