Dear Nico,
the second designed to be the second and print them in sequential order.
This option: RB has first separate page of front.
What I do sequential order for second separate page of back I can not
understand?
Where .pas file source code of RB for implement for File\page setup
\layout\columns traversal\top to bottom?
I offer you add internally this property in next release of RB for
second separate page for ?\top to bottom because those printers are new
heavy duty ID card providing.
1.Create a single empty report with two section style subreports.
Each subreport contains either the front or back of a page.
Then print the report twice first with the PageRange set to prOddPages
and second with it set to prEvenPages after you?ve turned the paper
over.
I check carefully Developer's Guide and I do not found descript for
PageRange or prOddPages or prEvenPages.

Best regards,

Ali Abbasi

Dear Nico,
Thank you very much for your help.
I understand in duplex mode but with it printer we can print paper
without any problem.
And with PVC we cannot duplex because it printer limited for PVC
thickness printing.
Also for method 1 or 2 please send me a simple demo and method 2 is
better and easy for me.
In the attachment you can see my layout with MGI printer and if may for
you use it layout for simple demo.
Best regards,
Ali Abbasi

Hi Ali,

I can think of two options.

1. Create a single empty report with two section style
subreports. Each subreport contains either the front or back of a
page. Then print the report twice first with the PageRange set to
prOddPages and second with it set to prEvenPages after you?ve turned the
paper over.

2. Create two separate reports one designed to be the front page
and the second designed to be the second and print them in sequential
order.


If you have a duplex compatible printer, you can implement option one
without using the PageRange property. Simply set the
PrinterSetup.Duplex property and the printer will flip the pages
automatically.
