Auto Stapling Report when Printing

coppen

Does anyone have experience sending a report and having it automatically staple in the printer? We bought the HP 9050 with a stapler stacker which will staple a report when it is finished printing. I would like to send a command to the printer to staple the report at the end of each group. I am grouping Whse Picks by Ship to Code so at the end of each ship to code, the printer needs to staple. any ideas on how to configure the printer and navision would be helpful

what is the special Command or character that you need to send to the printer?

I don't know. the printer manual has some doucmentation but it is not clear at all.

On the PC we installed an extra printer (same driver) and if they want to staple it, they need to print to this printer. In this printer we changed some settings.

i set up the driver and it is stapling the whole report. i want the report to be stapled in sections so i would need to explicitly send the command.

In 2.60 we did this for a client by a main report and from there starting 4 reports for every part of that section and connecting it to a different printer.

I know it is not the greatest solution but it is working now for more then 5 years.

You can have two reports One that runs the other report with filters. That way you'll get multiple print jobs and the printer will staple each print job.

So to repeat. The first report will filter the second report by sections. And then print that one section. The printer will staple that print job.

Can you tell me how to filter the second report based on the selection of the first report?
