Urs,
[Quoted] You will need to add the escape sequence to switch on double sided printing to the .prt printer driver file.
Look in the printer manual to find the escape sequence required.
Add a 'before report' section to the .prt file:
before report esc "xyz"
The escape sequence will be sent to the printer before the report is printed.
You can use the following in the .prt file:
esc - sends an escape character - HP PCL commands start with an
escape character
dec(#) - where # is a decimal number - sends ASCII character #
e.g dec(0) sends a null character
"X" - where X is any printable character - send that character
HTH,
Steve
