Razzak et al:
An Extension of the multi-copy report in Duplex Mode question.
Consider a one-page Report.
A PCC Label control is embedded in the Report Footer, checked 'Visible'.
I would like to issue a 'Page Eject' Control Code to the HP LaserJet P1606dn
printer.
I've been unsuccessful in framing an HP PCL5/5e/6 'Page Eject' code within
the control in several formats:
EC & l 0 H ( that's a lower-case 'L' )
027 038 108 48 072
27 38 108 48 72
1B 26 6C 30 48
In each case, the Windows spooler accepts the job and then sits with status
= 'Printing'; but nothing makes it to the printer.
When I remove the PCC Label, the report prints, but the multi-copies run
back to front without separation.
With 'ENDDOC' in the control, the first copy prints just fine, but this (
duh ) kills subsequent copies.
So clearly, I'm not understanding what the printer wants
code-formatting-wise.
Any guidance appreciated,
Bruce,
Where is the PCC Label placed on your report?
Without knowing all details of your report, I suggest that you place the
PCC Label on [Report Footer] Band, assuming the 'Page Eject' code within
the control is defined correctly.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.

Bruce,
You have a correct workaround.
However ...
Did you know that you can use the conditional Form Feed using the PCC Label?
The PCC Label control inserts a Printer Control Code Label within the
report.
Based on your report, you can dynamically VISIBLE (TRUE/FALSE) the label to
accomplish your goal.
To understand ...
While in Report Designer, place the PCC Label control, right-click, and then
select [Help] for complete details.
Report Designer | Advanced Controls | PCC Label ...
2014 SAT Sample Applications includes a sample application that demonstrates
the use such elegant feature in R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (32/64).
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
