Printing multiple reports using duplex in RTC

My customer has a requirement to print reports in batches and using duplex printing. The existing reminder letter templates (although this concept would apply to all reports) have worked fine to date, however customers have now built up significated outstanding invoices and this is causing some reminder letter to run onto three pages.

The result is that a 3 page report now runs onto a second piece of paper, however as a result, page 1 of the next report is now printing on the back of this second pice of paper and throwing out the entire print run.

I have seen a suggested solution to this for the classic client, however as RTC uses reporting services, this doesn't work.

I need a way to force the insertion of a blank page at the end of any report with an odd number of pages.

Please can anyone suggest anything, as with the lack of pre-processing I'm running short on ideas!


Thanks
Andy

    Send each reminder as a separate print job. Not as one large batch.
    There are no bugs - only undocumented features.

    Printing in a batch is a requirement as they print 5000 at a time

    Single printing is not an option

    I don't mean click PRINT for each reminder. What I mean is instead of calling the report once and letting it loop thru the customers, loop thru the customers and call the report for each one. This way each reminder becomes its own print job.

    As a non-developer I was using my limited knowledge to design the template, however a developer has now offered his assistance and implemented your suggestion.

    Thanks for the help
