Duplex printing

[hugo]

Hello,

Can I explicitly print a report in a duplex mode (of course in a printer that supports that) ?

Hello.

Unfortunately, our Flex components have no access to the printer settings. You should setup Duplex mode in printer settings manually.

Thank you.

Hello,

For web solutions I understand because of the Flash sandbox but for AIR, we have more control from the system. Do you don't support only because of the web solution or is in fact a Flex limitation ?

Thank you,
Hugo.

Hello, Hugo.

Unfortunately, we don't know how to add support of Duplex printing in AIR.
If you have any information about this, please, send us and we will try to add the feature.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you.
I'm currently discussing this with other people. If I find a possible solution I'll let you know with the full source code solution.

I flex developer friend, told me that this is possible using a label in the report (text) with a hex printer code that the printer will interpret and execute.

Example (from my friend, to open the box):

var modelo:Recibo3 = new Recibo3;

modelo.visible=false;
addElement(modelo);

//Esc code to open a box (here we could use a duplex code)
modelo.DOC_ABRGAVETA.text = "\x1B"+"\x70"+"\x00"+"\xFF"+"\xFF";

var myPrintJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();

var uiOpt:PrintUIOptions = new PrintUIOptions();
uiOpt.minPage = 1;
uiOpt.maxPage = 3;

if(myPrintJob.start2(null,false)) {
myPrintJob.addPage(modelo);
myPrintJob.send();
}

I tried with Stimulsoft with no success !

Hello,

We need a little more time to test your code with our product.

Thank you.

Hello,

Yes, I understand. It's important to first understand the codes (print commands), do a isolated test and then integrate in your engine but I pretty sure that this will give a huge benefit.
Another good point is that if this really works, you can easly apply in all your engine solutions.
