Printing reports on double-sided pages

Question

Is there a way in Oracle reports to force each record to print on an even number of pages? This is for double-sided printing. Thanks for any help or advice.

Answer 1

I found this on one of the forums, similar to your suggestion:
"I am printing statements on a double-sided stationary capable printer. To ensure that each new statement starts on a new physical piece of paper, I need to add a blank page if the previous statement had an odd number of page sides. How can I do this?
Place an invisible boilerplate line before the repeating frame that contains your data. Give it a Page Break before and anchor it to the repeating frame. Then write a format trigger that only prints the boilerplate object (and thus the page break) if it is an odd page number. "
I've tried this but it isn't working for me. I'm using your logic for printing the page:
v_page number;
begin
     srw.get_page_num(v_page);
if mod(v_page,2)=0
then
return (FALSE); --if an even page don't print
else
return (TRUE); --if an odd page do print
end if;
end;
Any idea why it's not working?
