  Is it possible to assign the paper tray source in the OnBeforePrint event in the report script ?
  I know it is possible to assign paper source in the page setup option but I have 3 paper bins and i have to print copies to specific bins

  
  Hi,
  
  I try to solve the same problem but with a different approach. I set the printer params (including tray) before calling the prepare method but fast report ignores them.
  The following snippet works perfectly for freereport and other report engines.
  

  procedure LoadCurrentPrinterSettings(AStream: TStream);
  var
    Device, Driver, Port: array[0..80] of char;
    DevMode: THandle;
    pDevmode: PDeviceMode;
  begin
    Printer.GetPrinter(Device, Driver, Port, DevMode);
    if Devmode <> 0 then
    begin
      {lock it to get pointer to DEVMODE record}
      pDevMode := GlobalLock(Devmode);
      if pDevmode <> nil then
        try
          // read the printer settings from the stream
          AStream.Read(pDevmode^, sizeof(TDevicemode));
        finally
          {unlock devmode handle.}
          GlobalUnlock(Devmode);
        end;
    end;
  end;
  

  
  After the printer has been setup is use the following code to run the report
  

  Report.PrintOptions.Printer := ReportPrinter;
    Report.PrepareReport;
  

  
  Can anyone from the fast report team tell us how to change the printer tray?
  
  Thanks

  TEST THIS SOLUTION .
  ME MY WORKS
  
  REGARDS..
  

  for n := 0 to fr.PagesCount - 1 do
    begin
      if (uppercase(fr.Pages[n].ClassName) = 'TFRXREPORTPAGE') then
      begin
        TfrxReportPage(fr.Pages[n]).duplex := fr.pRintoptions.duplex;
        TfrxReportPage(fr.Pages[n]).Bin := FConfig_impresora.bandejafr;
        TfrxReportPage(fr.Pages[n]).BinOtherPages := TfrxReportPage(fr.Pages[n]).Bin;
      end;
    end;
  
  function TFConfig_Impresora.Bandejafr: Integer;
  begin
    // result := cbbandejas.itemindex;
  
    result := DMBIN_AUTO;
    case CBBandejas.ItemIndex of

  But where to use it?
  OnBeforPrint
  Before PrepareReport
