2-sided printing
« on: September 21, 2009, 04:44:05 PM »
Using 4.5, I bought an Okidata Laser B430D which allows Duplex (2-sided) printing.
In Printer Maintenance I use the HPLASER code table which works fine for my other laser: HP2015dn (that does NOT print character-based programs like Lotus or filePro.)
How can I set my Okidata to default to print filePro output 2-sided?
Thank you.

Well, assuming that your Okidata printer is HP Compatible and has a duplexor unit built in...

Create a printcode on the printcode table that contains ...

               $1b &l1S

That is      ell one        after the "&" in the code

If you want to turn duplex OFF, then  $1b &l0S

Put that code in at the end of your init code, probably printcode 3,or as the format init code on the options page in define output.

BTW, the HP 2015 should work with filePro OK. It is rather lacking in in font choice, but a $50 or so font DIMM from HP should fix you up. THe HP 1015 IS brain dead.

Thank you.  Hope it works.
The HP2015dn has only a USB port.
