Printing multiple copies?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Is there is a way to print multiple copies of a PDF other than issuing print() 
multiple times?

Not currently.

How would you like to call it?

I did expect this feature to be requested eventually.

Can you confirm Issue 42 is closed before I proceed with the enhancement?

Something like, 
applet.appendPDF(url_to_pdf, number_of_copies);
or
applet.print(number_of_copies);

I am not having any margin problems printing PDFs with version 1.3.5. Also, I 
did not create that issue. I created Issue 47.

Yes this would be a good feature to add. Even while printing labels its a 
common requirement to print multiple prints.

so applet.print(number_of_copies) 

would be a good feature.

Hi, I don't think the native ability to print multiple copies is critical. Is 
there any specific benefit to having jZebra submit the # of copies instead of 
calling the print function in a loop?

Main advantage I would see is cleaner code.  You wouldn't have to keep checking 
to see of the print was complete before submitting the next one.  At least 
that's my thought.  -Tres

Added printer attributes for multiple copies for version 1.4.5, but PDF writers 
I'm testing with won't honor the setting.

If you can test this feature before 1.4.5 is uploaded, email me,

How can i give number of copies?

Original comment by rkaartik...@gmail.com on 26 Nov 2012 at 1:15

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The parameter is applet.setCopies(2); etc but the Print Spooler seems to ignore 
the setting.

Let me know if you have any more luck with it.

I cannot get applet.setCopies() to work either.

Hey just saw this issue, and their is a way to print multiple things, i do it 
current with just one fv.print() command. You probably want to look at whatever 
method you have calling documents to be printed, I can post my example on here 
in a bit, but you don't want to use jZebra really to print multiple things, nor 
do you need too.

@Aaron,

The issue is, the printers allow the "copies" setting to be provided, so for 
large documents it would only need to travel over the wire once.

I am hesitant to send the "print()" command several times as this is not 
technically the same thing.

I believe this is a simple fix, but as I've illustrated before, the PostScript 
features are quite underdeveloped and will be addressed as they are demanded.

Hi all. We have a problem printing multiple labels on the same process.
On the server function i call to the zebra print functions and maybe depend of 
parametrer value i need print another diferent label, but all on the 
button_click process.

I have on the label.js this:

function jzebraReady() {
    // Change title to reflect version
    qz = document.getElementById('qz');

}

and on the script printing function:

function PrintPedidoLabel10x8(Fecha, DelegacionOrigen, Expedicion) {
    try {

        if (qz != null) {

On the server i write script on the page to call de function, like this:

RadAjaxManager1.ResponseScripts.Add(FunctionLabelName + "('" + 
oRowAlertran["producto"].ToString() + "'" +
                            ",'" + oRowAlertran["expedicion"].ToString()....)

the result is only ONE label is printed to the zebra...but!!! the alert of 
monitorPrinting function....show 2 times!!

please help me!!

@gustavo,

Your code snippet does not show any qz.print() or qz.append(...) example, so it 
is impossible at this time to find your problem.

Can you modify sample.html and reproduce this problem?

If not, can you provide some more insight into how the applet is being used?

yes, sorry. I added 3 files, you can see on the MainPage.txt y call 
Funciones.ImprimeEtiquetaBulto on clsFunctions.txt and on it register script to 
call jzebra print functions. On the first file MainPage.txt y call the 
imprimeEtiquetaBulto but above this, if 
(Convert.ToInt32(txtCantidadBultos.Value) > 1) i need print another label. The 
result only one label is printed and 2 alerts are showed

There are many mistakes in your code.

1.  Possible typo, Etiquetas.js, line 266 (screenshot attached)
2.  Function findPrinter() is asynchronous: You must wait for it to complete 
(see sample.html in version 1.7.8)
3.  Function monitorPrinting and monitorFinding should be replaced with more 
modern code examples (see sample.html in version 1.7.8)

This should help you.  Since the bug you've posted to is in regards to 
PostScript functionality (you are using RAW), I would recommend using the 
jzebra mailing list for further questions (or qz premium support if interested).

This bug report is not related to your specific problem.
