Re: duplex print command

[Julie Waggoner <WAGGO000@MAIL.GENMILLS.COM>]

Pushpa,
In addition to the init-string you have in the declare-printer section, you
also need to specify when to switch printing from the front side to the back
side.

For the front side:
        encode '<27>' into $esc
        let $frontform = $esc || '&a1G'
        print $frontform                () code-printer=hp

For the back side:
        encode '<27>' into $esc
        let $backform = $esc || '&a2G'
        print $backform         () code-printer=hp

I have used these commands in the begin-heading section and used the
#page_count reserved variable to switch back and forth between the two
commands (when #page_count is odd, use front side, when #page_count is even,
use back side).

If this doesn't work, you can reference other similar commands under the
Simplex/Duplex section of the following HP PCL Command reference page.

Hi
  I am trying to print the output of the report on either sides of the
paper and used the code as
  declare-printer hp_printer
      init-string = <27>&l1s
  end-declare
but it didn't print the output the way I wanted.
can anyone help me out by correcting me or by letting me know any other
way of doing it.


Thanks in advance
pushpa
