Choose Tray automatically

ReportReport
Posted on by Raphi 186

Hi guys

Is it not possible to choose the tray via the report printing preview (and save it for the next report) anymore?

I already configured the printer selections, but I am not able to save the paper source within the printing preview (i.e. preview of report 206 Sales - Invoice).

How can I save it? It is not possible to change the "PaperSourceDefaultPage" property because we have two companies where we want to print to different paper sources.

Thanks.

Best regards

Raphael

    Hi again

    I figured out how this is working.

    I created the procedure GetPaperTrayForReport in the Codeunit 1 ApplicationManagement. Now it works! Thanks :)

    Best regards

    Hello

    I tried now the trigger OnPreReport(), but it still prints to "Automatically Select" instead of Tray 3 (260) or Tray 4 (261)...

    More ideas?

    Thanks.

    Try on OnPreReport trigger of the report.

    Thanks, I thought about that but I was not able to achieve the goal. It is still on "select automatically", I checked the tray with the "FindTrays.exe" tool I found on the internet.

    Can you tell me, where I have to add the conditions? In OnAfterGetRecord?

    Thanks.

    Please check the below link

    You need to add a condition like

    IF COMPANYNAME = 'abc' THEN

    CurrReport.PAPERSOURCE(258)

    IF COMPANYNAME = 'xyz' THEN

    CurrReport.PAPERSOURCE(111)

    Can I set this property to two different values?

    Company 1 needs to print from tray 3

    Company 2 needs to print from tray 2

    How can I achieve this?

    Thanks.

    Best regards
