Re: PCL codes

Ganesh,

I don't know if your Ricoh printer has the same PCL language reference
like an HP printers. You may have to look at the printer's manual to
do this. Here's the PCL codes I been using to print in duplex mode.
I control which one is page one and which one is page two. However,
in your case where there might be no page two, the control might be a
little different.

Sample codes:

BEGIN-REPORT
  USE-PRINTER-TYPE HP
     ENCODE '<27>E<27>%0B' into $duplexon
     ENCODE '<27>&l0S' into $duplexof

  use-report duplex-report
  PRINT $DUPLEXON () CODE   or use.....
  PRINT-direct nolf printer=hp $DUPLEXON  !(1,1)

  Place above statement when you are in the beginning
  of page 1.

  PRINT $DUPLEXOF () CODE   or use.....
  PRINT-direct nolf printer=hp $DUPLEXOF  !(1,1)

  Place above statement at the end of page 2. If there is no
  page 2, then use this at the end of page 1.

Note: Do not combined this feature with printing a .BMP logo.
      you can combined with other types except .bmp ....

Hope this helps.
