Printers with Collate & Staple finishing

How can I take advantage of the variety of finishing options available  on some of the more sophisticated printers?

Hello,

The PrintManager supports several print options via the PrintJobPrintOptions class. Here is the list of options options available. Support for Collate option is already available however the Staple option is not supported.

Thanks,

Collate seems to be set to true by default but overridden by the settings entered at the printer.

Ex:
Printer settings: Collate & Staple
Dynamic PDF: PrintJobPrintOptions.Collate = false
Result: Document is printed and stapled.

Is there a way to override settings entered at the printer?
Is support for other finishing options planned in a later release?

Hello,

The possibility of supporting stapling option has been evaluated and was determined to be not feasible. If you have other finishing options in mind let us know and we can provide feedback on those as well.

Regarding overriding the collate setting, please email the following information to us at support@cete.com so we can look into it further.

1. Printer name & model.
2. OS Details

Good morning.
We are very interested in using staple option.

Have been developed something during last year about this?
Or are you planning to develop something?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

As indicated in our last post, it is not technically feasible to implement a property in PrintJobPrintOptions class to directly modify the staple option.

In v2.0 of PrintManager we have implemented a way to intercept the print job and modify its setting by copying the selected settings from the print dialog. There is a chance that you may be able to use this new feature to indirectly set the staple option, but you would need to try this out and see if it works for you.

Please send an email to support@cete.com and we can send you sample code that shows how to use this new feature.

Thanks,
