Separator Sheet

kaschina

Hey,


I searched for hours for a solution.
I have about 500 reports each day to print - each report has 3 - ~100 pages
So I am looking for a separator sheet, that is printed in landscape mode, to make it easier to keep clear of the order of the documents.

I use a printerdialog, so I cannot set fix printer values. In PCL, I call the recycle-bin by changing papertype.

Is there any possibility?

Thanks in advance,
Kaschina

Thanks,

then I get a blank page between my records , but I want to insert a blank page transversely / cross (- dont know which word is correct...)

Are you saying you want a page physically rotated by 90?° (physically "portrait" between your "landscape" pages?

If so, are the printers you will be using capable of this sleight of hand? The paper-path / paper-trays etc. would have to be capable of both orientations.

[I am thinking of the big production printers in the bank I used to work for which had multiple A4 / A4-R / A3 / A3-R trays (and more).]

So what would be required is for your logic to select your "Separator Page" from (say) A4-R tray, while the body of your reports are selected from A4 tray. From memory this means setting the Page Options "Paper Source" in your code.

I'll ask other Forumates to explain how, as we've not had to do this in any of the reports we've created...

It's getting better [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Yes, I want to rotate physically. We have a few of these big production printers and I already use the "rotated page" in older programs in PCL. Edit: Is there a way, to get the A4-R tray automatically? Setting the A4-R manually is the way it works at the moment - thats uncomfortable![/img]
