Printer tray selection
How can I direct a report (.frx) to a specific tray on a PCL laser printer? I have tried the followinf:
1) While editing the .frx, I go to Report | Page Layout | Print Setup | Source (a dropdown list)and select "MP Feeder" (Multi Purpose), save the form and print the report.
RESULT: Uses the default "Tray 1". When I go back to edit the report the Source has gon back to "Tray 1".
2) Same as above, but with a new Windows printer defined and set up with the desired tray as the default.
RESULT: Uses the default "Tray 1". When I go back to edit the report the new printer remains defined but the Source has gon back to "Tray 1". If I just click on the printer selection, the Source changes back to the "MP Feeder" that I set as the default for that printer deffinition.
3) At the top of the form I placed a field with the PCL escape code to select the desired tray. CHR(27) + '&l8H'
RESULT: It prints &l8H on the form.
4) On the line of code before Report Form ..., I ??? CHR(27) + '&l8H'
RESULT: It is ignored and prints to Tray 1.
Any help will be much appreciated.
