Duplex problem when printing a one page report with 2 copies

TomMueller

Hi

When printing a one page report with 2 copies we expect that 2 papers are printed regardless of the printer???s duplex setting.

But, if the printer default settings are set to duplex printing FastReport prints only one paper with front- and backside.
(Printing a page with 2 copies in Word always produces 2 papers!)

It is easy to reproduce:
1. In 'Control Panel\Devices and Printers' turn on duplex printing in the 'Printing preferences'
2. Print one page of a FastReport with 2 copies.
-> The 2 copies of the report page are printed on one paper (front and back).

Is there a workaround for this behavior?

Best regards
Tom

Thank you for the hint - but this can not be the final solution.
The default behavior should be fixed in FastReport and not in each of our project reports!

Your solution does not work!

With dmSimplex it never prints a report in duplex mode again regardless if the printer driver is set to duplex mode.

What I have:
- printer driver is set to duplex printing
- FastReport Duplex property is set to dmNone

What I expect:
1) printing a 2 page report produces a single paper (front and back)
2) - printing 2 copies of a 1 page report produces 2 papers

What Fast report does:
1) works
2) doesn't work: FastReport prints the two copies on one paper!!!

Please have again a look at this issue.
Thanks
Tom
