Print double sided using report toolkit (word)

[Lee_Denaro]

Hi guys,

I am using the built in report toolkit in LV 2018 to print MS Word reports. Does anybody know how to configure it so it prints double sided?

This is a printer property. So either configure the default printer to print double sided, or make a new printer and use that to print to. Not sure if that's workable in your situation, but definitely the easiest solution if it is.

I don't think there's much control over the printer from LabVIEW... I'd guess that would require power shell or .NET commands.

It looks like it can be done via some .NET calls.

With a .NET constructor, I was able to navigate to System.Drawing.Printing.Duplex and then there's a property node for value.

ok awesome, i'll try that .NET call and see how it goes, thanks!
