    Posted: 13 Sep 22 at 1:18AM
Greeting,

i am trying to print to different tray/bin..

i have tried to set paper tray number using following code:
objRPDF.SetupCustomPrinter(strPrinterConfig, 9, Convert.ToInt32(PrinterTrayTextbox.Text)); // REM Printer Tray/Bin

my printer has 4 trays.. i tried 1 to number 4 that didn't work..

so, i made a demo tool to list the printer trays, but strangely it shows same trays number for most of my printers :(


but still when i try to print tray 15 and 257 (using 1st printer name), both print to same/default tray :(

and more strange is that the 2nd printer on the list only have 1 tray, but qpl also shows same trays number for that one too? :(

so? what i am doing wrong here?

thanks in advance for upcoming help

best regards

Hi Hassan,

To check about the real printer names i use:
GetPrinterNames.
To check about existing printer bins i use:
GetPrinterBins.

Doing the output the following syntax should help:

if ( prname = 'default' ) Then
     PriName := QP.GetDefaultPrinterName;

if ( prname <> 'default' ) then
     PriName := prname;

// . . .

propt := QP.PrintOptions(pscal, rotate, fname);
            
if ( bin > 0 ) Then
  begin
    cPriName := QP.NewCustomPrinter(PriName);
    QP.SetupCustomPrinter(cPriName, 9, bin);
  end;
            
if ( pend = 9999 ) then
  pend := pc; // pagecount
  for i := 1 to copies do
    begin
      if ( bin > 0 ) Then
        QP.PrintDocument(cPriName, pstart, pend, propt)  // with bin
      else
        QP.PrintDocument(PriName, pstart, pend, propt);  // without bin
    end;
Cheers,
Ingo

that's what exactly my code does, though in different language.. but it just not working :(

            objRPDF.SetupCustomPrinter(strPrinterConfig, 2, intHeight); // REM custom paper height
            objRPDF.SetupCustomPrinter(strPrinterConfig, 3, intWidth); // REM custom paper width
            objRPDF.SetupCustomPrinter(strPrinterConfig, 5, 1); // REM quality 1 = high, 2 = medium, 3 = low, 4 = draft, Or Exact DPI
            objRPDF.SetupCustomPrinter(strPrinterConfig, 6, 2); // REM Color 1 = monochrome, 2 = Color
            objRPDF.SetupCustomPrinter(strPrinterConfig, 9, Convert.ToInt32(PrinterTrayTextbox.Text)); // REM Printer Tray/Bin
            objRPDF.SetupCustomPrinter(strPrinterConfig, 11, PageLayout); // REM 1 = portrait, 2 = landscape

that is the code i am using to setup printer tray, what i am doing wrong here? can you please tell me?

thanks in advance

best regards

Do you read all at "for default source" (New Value)?
https://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/SetupCustomPrinter.php

There should be a problem...
After each code line you can check the returning value of the call from one line before.
1 means okay / 0 means error

Perhaps this helps one step further?
Cheers,
Ingo

Before printing, you can set the paper box that the printer will use in advance.
The following example achieves a more flexible function: changing the paper box used during the printing process. If you only need to set up the paper box before printing, you can modify the code yourself.
==============================
code:
 
Printer.BeginDoc;
    //dosomething...print

    //--------- Changing Trays .... -----------------
    Printer.GetPrinter(device, driver, port, hDMode);
    if (hDMode <> 0) then
    begin
      pDMode := GlobalLock(hDMode);
      if Assigned(pDMode) then
      begin         
          pDMode.dmFields := pDMode.dmFields or DMBIN_MANUAL;
          pDMode.dmDefaultSource :=GetTraysID(); 
         winapi.Windows.EndPage( Printer.Handle );   
         If ResetDC( Printer.canvas.Handle, pDMode^ ) = 0 Then
                showmessage( 'ResetDC failed, '+SysErrorMessage(GetLastError));
         GlobalUnlock( hDMode );
         winapi.Windows.StartPage( Printer.Handle );
         Printer.Canvas.Refresh;
      end;
    //--------------------------------------------------

    //dosomething...print
    Printer.EndDoc;
    end;

 function GetTraysID()(TraysName: string; adevice, aport: PWideChar): Word;
  var
    i, rslt: Integer;
    tBinNames: array of Tbinname;
    BinCodes: array of Word;
  begin
    Result := DM_DEFAULTSOURCE;
    rslt := devicecapabilitiesW(adevice, aport, dc_binnames, nil, nil);
    if rslt > 0 then
    begin
      setlength(tBinNames, rslt);
      setlength(BinCodes, rslt);
      try
        if devicecapabilitiesW(adevice, aport, dc_binnames, @tBinNames[0],
          nil) = -1 then
        begin
          setlength(BinCodes, 0);
          setlength(tBinNames, 0);
          raise exception.Create('error tbinnames');
        end;
        if devicecapabilitiesW(adevice, aport, DC_BINS, @BinCodes[0], nil) = -1
        then
        begin
          setlength(BinCodes, 0);
          setlength(tBinNames, 0);
          raise exception.Create('error  BinCodes');
        end;

        for i := 0 to rslt - 1 do
        begin
          if TraysName = tBinNames then
          begin
            Result := BinCodes;
            Break;
          end;
        end;
      finally
        setlength(BinCodes, 0);
        setlength(tBinNames, 0);
      end;
    end;
  end;
