Embedding printer codes

2006-06-05 07:20

I've run into a situation where it would save a LOT of paper (and thus a LOT of $$ in postage) if I could have a section of my report print on both sides of the paper.

 

Yes, we have a printer that is capable of performing this task (HP9000). What I am wondering is if there is a way to embed printer codes (escape sequences) into the report in some manner (ie a text box that doesn't display on the report but has the sequence in it).

 

 

FYI:

What I am attempting to do is print an executive summary page (nothing on the back of it) while the other subreports on the invoice would print on both sides.

 

Thanks in advance.
