Dear all,

I am using NAV 2016 Cumulative Update 20.

I want to print report 206 (Sales - Invoice) with paper size 22 cm x 14 cm and portrait orientation.

But, when I print the report, why print orientation in printer preferences is always landscape?

How to set it to portrait automatically?

Please help. Thank you.

Best regards,

Johanna

Hello,
Look Johana,

You can achieve your requirement by creating one more report, just SaveAs this Report,
And make this report Layout is Landscape, and write code for running NewlySaved report if the user click on Print,
he/she will get that report, or if he/she click on Preview then he/she will get this report.
See below screenshot for code.

Dear Binesh,

Thank you so much for your detail explanation :)

If I use page size 14 cm x 22 cm, the print result is in 22 cm x 14 cm with portrait orientation.

But, when I print from preview page, the print result is in 14 cm x 22 cm with portrait orientation. How to make the preview page use 22 cm x 14 cm with portrait orientation?

Best regards,

Johanna

Dear Binesh,

And the result is not in portrait orientation.

Dear pearl_jo,

Orientation is looking Landscape, but when you are going to print it paper height is coming whatever you given.

try it by printing.

Dear Binesh,

Thank you for your reply.

I have set the InteractiveSize as your screenshot.

Please look at the orientation in your RDLC Report Properties. It is always landscape, isn't it?

Dear Amol,

I have set it to custom size.

The orientation is always landscape when the width is longer than the height.

Best regards,

Johanna
