Selecting printer bin

Post by joeitaliano »

hello

When we print silently to the printer without the user control, we can specify what printer we want to print to using the SetProperty("Print.PrinterName", ...) and then call PrintDocument(m_pdfDocID, PXCVA_NoUI ) which prints it without displaying the print dialog box.

How do we specify which bin on the printer to print to? This is required as our customers will have different paper in each bin.

many thanks in advance

Hello Joe,

I am afraid that you will need to select the paper source through the printer settings, either manually, or if you have any external way to control the printer settings via code you should to use that.
Our Viewer on it's own does not provide (and I am not sure it's even possible) control over the paper tray of a hardware printer that should be used.

Best,
Stefan
