Printing with different PaperSource

[Freund]

Hi,

I have to Print with different PaperSources.

The first Page have to be printed from source A (with paper with a company header)
The second and following have to be printed from source B (only with a small logo)
And when copies are used, they have to come vrom a papersource with white paper.


So I want to get something like

private void QueryPageSettings(object sender, QueryPageSettingsEventArgs e)
{
if (reportProperties.kopie)
if ((reportProperties.schachtSeite1BeiKopie) && (m_currentPageIndex == 0))
e.PageSettings.PaperSource = reportProperties.schachtSeite1;
else
e.PageSettings.PaperSource = reportProperties.schacht2;
else if (m_currentPageIndex == 0)
e.PageSettings.PaperSource = reportProperties.schachtSeite1;
else
e.PageSettings.PaperSource = reportProperties.schacht1;
m_currentPage++;
}

Is this possible?

Hello Freund,

Do you mean you want to switch between the two physical printers that you have?

No, its ony the paperource (tray) in the printer.

This more code from my other project.

Code: Select all

public void Print()
{ 
	PrintDocument printDoc = new PrintDocument();

	printDoc.PrintController = new StandardPrintController();
	printDoc.Dispose();
	string printer;
	printer = printDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName;
	printDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = reportProperties.printerName;
		
	printDoc.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = reportProperties.GetLandscape();
	if (reportProperties.schacht1 != null)
		 printDoc.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource = reportProperties.schacht1;
	if (printDoc.PrinterSettings.CanDuplex & reportProperties.duplexdruck)
	{
		 printDoc.PrinterSettings.Duplex = reportProperties.duplex;
	}

	if (reportProperties.farbe > 0)
		 if (printDoc.PrinterSettings.SupportsColor)
			  printDoc.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.Color = reportProperties.farbe == 1;


	printDoc.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(printPage);
	printDoc.QueryPageSettings += new QueryPageSettingsEventHandler(QueryPageSettings);
	printDoc.DocumentName = reportProperties.printDocName;
	
	
	.......
	
	printDoc.Print();
}
		
private void printPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs ev)
{
	Metafile pageImage = new
	Metafile(m_streams[m_currentPageIndex]);
	// Adjust rectangular area with printer margins.
	Rectangle adjustedRect = new Rectangle(
		 ev.PageBounds.Left - (int)ev.PageSettings.HardMarginX,
		 ev.PageBounds.Top - (int)ev.PageSettings.HardMarginY,
		 ev.PageBounds.Width,
		 ev.PageBounds.Height);

	// Draw a white background for the report
	ev.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.White, adjustedRect);

	// Draw the report content
	ev.Graphics.DrawImage(pageImage, adjustedRect);
	m_currentPageIndex++;
	ev.HasMorePages = (m_currentPageIndex < m_streams.Count);
}
private void QueryPageSettings(object sender, QueryPageSettingsEventArgs e)
{
	if (reportProperties.kopie)
		 if ((reportProperties.schachtSeite1BeiKopie) && (m_currentPageIndex == 0))
			  e.PageSettings.PaperSource = reportProperties.schachtSeite1;
		 else
			  e.PageSettings.PaperSource = reportProperties.schacht2;
	else if (m_currentPageIndex == 0)
		 e.PageSettings.PaperSource = reportProperties.schachtSeite1;
	else
		 e.PageSettings.PaperSource = reportProperties.schacht1;
	m_currentPage++;
}

Hello Freund,

Can you do that in the End-User Editor? If so, please make a screenshot of the desired option.

Cheers,
Alex

I cannot, but I vave to use different trays in one printjob.

Hello Freund,

If you can't change this option from the End-User Editor, I'm afraid that it's not available through the SDK.

Cheers,
Alex
