Duplex problem when printing a one page report with 2 copies
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!

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
