XPRINT GET DUPLEX statement

Purpose

Retrieve the XPRINT duplex status.

Syntax

XPRINT GET DUPLEX TO DuplexVar&

Function Form:

DuplexVar& = XPRINT(DUPLEX)

Remarks

XPRINT allows you to get/set the duplex status, if the printer supports printing on both sides of a page. XPRINT GET DUPLEX retrieves the duplex status, assigning the value to the long integer variable specified by DuplexVar&. The following equates are predefined in the compiler to symbolically represent the possible duplex status:

%DMDUP_SIMPLEX         = 1    (single sided printing)

%DMDUP_VERTICAL        = 2    (page flipped on the vertical edge)

%DMDUP_HORIZONTAL      = 3    (page flipped on the horizontal edge)

If the printer does not support duplex printing, the value zero (0) is returned. If this statement is executed without a host printer attached, error 57 is generated.
