Hi,

Yes you can get the duplex printing from both script & smartform provided your printer has the settings.

In the script

Page standard attributes,you have print mode.give it as "D".

In smartforms

Page-->Output options,it has the same thing.

Hi Bikesh,

your Requirement :

Front page is Landscape oriented n back page is Portrait

---I am not sure about Scripts. But you can do it in smartforms.

YOu can set page orientation at

PAGE~~> Output Options~~> Page format (Landscape/Ptrait)

--> Print Mode --D for Duplex.

In the smart forms it’s simple since you can set the orientation at Page level.

Define two pages front page with Landscape oriented n back page is Portrait.

But for the scripts orientation is not defined at page level, entire form has same orientation, its either portrait or landscape. To get the different orientation for the back page, define a new script/form which contains back page with portrait orientation. Call this form using start_form function module from first page layout printing program.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks,

You will have two scripts but only one print program.

You can call two scripts in one program as follow:

open_form.

.....

for the back page

start_form.

....

end_form.

....

close_form.

I did not work on duplex, but as per documentation you need to set print mode for front page( first script)

as duplex the back page will be default i.e, space.

Thanks,
