Print multiple copies in Crystal Report

Hi All,
I have created layouts with Crystal 2008 . I need to print first copy as original , second as duplicate and the third as triplicate . I know it is possible using PLD but i need it in CR. Is there any work-around for this problem ? I am using SAP Business One 8.8 PL 10 , Crystal Reports Basic 2008 and SQL Server 2008.
Thanks in advance
Regards

Hi Arun
Create a view which has a record for each copy and the docentry. I tested using the view below but it could easily be extended to include the object type and be useful for all documents.
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[Test_Copy]
AS
select 1 as 'CopyNo',
'Original' AS 'CopyDesc',
DocEntry AS 'InvDocentry'
from oinv
union
select 2 as 'CopyNo',
'Duplicate' AS 'CopyDesc',
DocEntry AS 'InvDocentry'
from oinv
union
select 3 as 'CopyNo',
'Triplicate' AS 'CopyDesc',
DocEntry AS 'InvDocentry'
from oinv
Add this view to your layout and inner join to docentry of the OINV table
Add the copy number as the main group level, before the document etc.
You will then need to fiddle around setting the current page header details into the group 1 header and sort the paging out but you will get 3 copies.
Hope this helps

Hi,
I was wondering if you were able to get your multiple copies working? Below is what I have so far, just trying to get it to work before changing the actual template.
<?for-each-group@section:R5542520/Pick_Slips_Detail_Lines_S3;PickSlipNumber_ID260?>

Number of Copies in Crystal Report Layout

Hi all,
Is it possible to show the number of copy in a Crystal Report layout?
I mean: I am creating an invoice layout in Crystal Reports for SAP Business One 8.8.
Customer wants to print always 3 copies, but with the word "Copy" in second and third document.
I can set the number of printed copies but... is it possible to include a reference of what number of copy is every document?
Sorry for any language mistake.
Kind Regards,
Toni Dorta

Hi Toni,
If the customer always prints 3 copies of the Invoice, here is what you could do. You could design your Crystal Report to always print 3 copies. That is, if your Invoice has 1 page, then design your Crystal Report to Print 3 pages every time. On the 2nd and 3rd page, you include the word "Copy" to indicate that they are copies.
Once you have modified the report, change the No: of Printed copies to 1. This when the customer prints the report, it will always print 3 copies of the report and have the word "Copy" on the 2nd and 3rd invoices.
Hope this helps.

Multiple instances of Crystal Reports Viewer possible in WPF?

Hi, I've dragged and dropped three Crystal Reports Viewer controls on my WPF application. The goal is to be able to select up to 3 reports from a listbox and click run to generate the reports simultaneously. When I select just one report, it works fine. However when I select multiple reports it throws errors (object not found, etc). It seems there is a problem with multiple threads. Is it possible to have multiple instances of the Crystal Report Viewer display reports simultaneously? I am using version 13.0.9.1312 from the link below along with VS2013 C# WPF.
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
Thanks,
Syed

I was able to quickly cobble together a two viewer app that looks like this:
The code is like this:
Public Sub New()
        ' This call is required by the designer.
        InitializeComponent()
        ' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call.
        Dim crReportDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
        crReportDocument.Load("C:\tests\formulas.rpt")
        CrystalReportsViewer1.ViewerCore.ReportSource = crReportDocument
        Dim crReportDocument2 As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
        crReportDocument2.Load("C:\tests\report1.rpt")
        CrystalReportsViewer2.ViewerCore.ReportSource = crReportDocument2
    End Sub
For more details see the document WPF Project Using the Crystal Reports WPF Viewer in 8 Easy Steps
Now a couple of things to keep in mind;
1) The report engine is based on 3 Concurrent Processor License (CPL) model. Meaning you can process at most three reports at the same time. In my test, doing the above code for four reports worked, but the reports are very, very simple - and with saved data. What a "real" world reports will do, I am not sure. I do know that in a web app, the reports are queued up until one report is done and thus a CPL is freed up. You will also need to keep in mind any database connection limits, etc.
2) There is also a Print Job limit. This by default is set to 75. In a nutshell, almost anything done with a report is a Print Job. E.g.; paging, zooming, drilling, searching, etc., etc. In addition subreports are considered to be Print Jobs. Thus a report with one subreport in a detail section that returns a thousand rows of data and therefore running 1000 subreports will error out.

Officejet Pro 8600 will not print multiple copies

When I first set up my HP Officejet Pro 8600 I could print multiple copies. Not sure when, how, or why but I can no longer print more than one copy of any document at a time regardless if it is one page or 100 pages. I tried to update the drivers but the update failed as it said it could not uninstall the printer. When I did the error reporting it said there was no solution.
My OS is Window XP Home
The printer is connected via network.
I print mainly from MS Word 2010 and Adobe PDF files and I have the same issue from either program.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Since the drivers and software refuses to update automatically, force it to. Uninstall all of the printer software and install it back using a fresh download. That will ensure that you have the latest driver and software for the printer installed and eliminate the need for updates for a while. I'll link them below. If that doesn't fix the problem with multiple documents not printing, try using an alternate driver for the printer. I'll link those instructions below. Let me know what happens.

Printing PO's using Crystal Report

Hi,
I am printing Purchase order using crystal reports. And when I print single PO, it is printing perfectly and I am printing one PO per page in pre printed stationery. But when I Print Multiple PO's i.e., mass printing, the first record gets printed correctly but when the printer scrolls to second page, the header section jumps one line above and when it scrolls to third page, it jumps two lines above and so on. And I am using continous stationery in dot matrix printer. How to print multiple PO's with Correct page header alignment. (Also I found the same problem when I print A/R Invoice).
Thnx in Advance.
Regards,
S Desikan

Dot matrix printer has the inherated weakness for linefeed control.
You have to change the page setting quite a few times before it can be fit.
If possible, laser printer will be much better. What you see is what you get.
Thanks,

Cp1215 doesn't print multiple copies

After a Windows update on my Window 7 64-bit Home Premium desktop, I am unable to print more than one copy of any document at a time from any software or web app using my cp1215. I use the printer to print for my classroom (eg 20+ copies of one doc at a time), so I really need this.
The problem began in March, and will resolve if I roll back the Windows update. There are about 50 individual update items, so I have no clue how to isolate this. I have tried uninstalling the printer before using Windows update and doing a complete reinstall with the latest drivers (4/13) with no luck.
Any idea how to solve this? I don't want to go too long without keeping up with Windows security updates. Thanks!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

OK, I updated in groups of five to see if I could isolate which updates might have messed up the printer. It appears be two of the "Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 for X64." (KB2600217, KB2656351)
So, the bulk of the Windows Updates are completed and I can still print multiple copies. At this point, though, neither of the updates above will install (they say they install, but they appear again in the update list after a reboot), so I can't be sure. I'm pretty sure they installed each time I did a bulk install.
Right now, I can print multiple copies and I am only missing two updates. Just to be complete, I ran the HP Print & Scan Doctor, and it reports that everything is fine with the printer.

Print layout different with crystal report 2008 runtime

Hi,
I have reports which I print on a pre printed stationary. With Crystal report 11.5 run time it works fine.
Now I am using Crystal Report 2008 run time and with this I found that layout on the print is different than the actual layout in the design.
The print with CR 2008 run time is not exactly matching with the pre printed stationary. Whereas it is working fine with the 11.5 run time.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks,

Printing multiple copies of 3 page BOL in Duplex mode-

Hi Gurus!
I have created a smartform to print the BOL on front side and terms and conditions on back side. I used the duplex mode to print and it works perfectly fine. When I have a BOL with 3 pages of information , it prints the items on the front side and terms and conditions on the second side and it does everything absolutely correctly.
At our organization we always print 5 copies of any BOL and that is when the problem arises. When we do a printing of the BOL form with number of copies set to 5 , it prints very akwardly with the settings. First it prints page 1 front and same thing on the back, then again the first page on the first and its back and then front on the third side , then similarly 5 sides of terms and conditions and then followed by 5 sides of page 2 items and followed by 5 sides of terms and conditions, which is very akward. Actually it should print first set with page 1 and TC on back of it , then Page 2 and TC on its back and page 3 and TC on its side like it does when I make a single copy.
Is there any settings that I am missing thats making the above happen when I print multiple copies of the BOL?
Please suggest.

Hi!
Thanks for the reply. I changed the settings of the printer to 'Pass Copies as Separate Output Request(in SAP System)' and re-tried printing 5 copies of the BOL and it again seems to print the first page 5 sides then Terms and conditions on 5 sides, then again 5 sides of page 2 and followed by 5 sides of T&C.
My settings on the smartforms is front page "D' and the back and the Last page is blank setting. This runs well when I just have to print one copy of my BOL , it prints the front page and then T&C on its back side , then again the second page and T&C on its back . This only messes when its more than one copy of the set of BOL.
Please suggest as to what to do next to make it print in proper sets.
Thanks and Regards

Printing Multiple Copies of Same Image on Multiple Pages

I have Photoshop Elements 11 on a Windows 8 platform. I can NOT get it to print multiple copies of the same file on multiple pages. I need one file printed on one page multiple times. I have tried the CTRL-ALT-SHIFT and nothing changes. It still just prints one and is done.
I use this for label printing, so I need it to print more than one copy at a time. It also is not saving the settings, so everytime I hit print, I have to readjust the print requirements. This just is not going to work when you need to print a few hundred copies at a time.

You can create your own picture package, if none of the options in the PSE print window>Type of Print work for you. Just make a blank file, copy/paste your image and alt drag it to make multiple copies. You can use the move tool to position things as you want them.
Generally speaking, though, for something like label printing, it's simplest to use PSE to create the image, then use your word processing/desktop publishing program to print the actual labels.

How can I print multiple copies of same photo onto one page on iPhoto 9.5.1?

How can I print multiple copies of same photo onto one page on iPhoto 9.5.1? I was able to do it on the old iPhoto, but can't seem to be able to do it on the new iPhoto. Grrr...

Photos does the same thing.... Only workaround I can come up with is to create a template in Pages and copy & paste.

How can I print multiple copies of the same photo onto one sheet of paper? Do I have to Duplicate the photo in iPhoto and then select them all?

How can I print multiple copies of the same photo onto one sheet of paper? Do I have to Duplicate the photo in iPhoto and then select them all?

no - you simply have to select the option to print mucliples of a photo on a page
select the photo and go to the file menu ==> print - select the printer, paper size and print size and click customize - in the tool bar click on the settings icon (the gear looking thingy) and select "multiple of the same photo per page" and the preview will reflect this option showing a full page of the selected size photos

How to print multiple copies on one page ?

How to print multiple copies of one document on one page ?
in coreldraw I used to make the document -for example a business card 5x9 - and when sending to print it automatically placed the number of cards that would fit in my A4 sheet.
how do I make the same operation in Indesign.
thanks

Hi, Peter S.
>I can see that as a shortcut to printing a page of different cards for multiple people, but to do a simple n-up of a single card it seems overly complex to me. What am I missing?
* It's just an alternative to copy/paste and step/repeat.
* For a one-time only use, perhaps it's a little more complex than necessary. But for any future needs, only the content of the data file needs to be changed, either by editing, or by pointing to a new data file. If different cards for multiple people becomes necessary, it's ready to go.

How to print multiple copies of same image (with specific fixed dimensions) on single page

I am using Photoshop Elements 10 on Win 7 PC. I am trying to print multiple copies of one image on a single 8.5x11 sheet of paper? The images are artwork for buttons (to be used in button-making machine) so the dimensions must be exact on the duplicated images. When I select Picture Package, the images are resized to fit the dimensions in the picture package. When I select Contact Sheet, the images are resized to fit the number of columns I selected. Neither is acceptable. How can I repeat the same image on a single piece of paper without having the system re-size the image? I know that I can manually create a new PSE file and manually insert the images into this file. This is what I have been doing as a work-around. But I would hope there is a better/faster way.
Thank-you!

A variation of hatstead's method where the pictures are precisely aligned:
1. Add the picture to the blank file as hatstead described. Use the Move tool to position the picture in the upper left corner.
2. Duplicate the layer. Use the arrow keys (NOT the mouse) to move the new layer to the right.
3. Repeat step 2 until the row is filled:
4. Merge Down the 3 layers into one. Alternatively, link the 3 layers and do a Merge Linked as in this example. The end result is the pictures in the row are on one layer:
5. Duplicate the layer and use the arrow keys to move this down to the 2nd row.
6. Repeat step 5 to create additional rows.
7. Finally, to center the whole thing on the sheet, link all the row layers and position with the arrow keys.
Note that you can also custom-make your own Picture Package. Instructions for this should be somewhere in Help.
