Hi,

I am trying to invoke silent print in Duplex mode. I am using the below code in the java script file, but still it prints in Simplex mode. Is there any other way of coding it in java script?

function JSSilentPrintDuplex(theDoc)
{
var pp = theDoc.getPrintParams();
pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.automatic;

pp.DuplexType = pp.constants.duplexTypes.DuplexFlipLongEdge;

var fv = pp.constants.flagValues;
pp.flags |= fv.setPageSize;
theDoc.print(pp);
}
I even tried with the below options also:

pp.DuplexType = pp.constants.duplexTypes.Duplex;
pp.DuplexType = pp.constants.duplexTypes.DuplexFlipShortEdge;

Solution for this is appreciated, Thank You.

Have you looked at the "PrintParms" "constants" "bookletDuplexMode"?

It is the only refernece to "duplex" in the JS Api and the example:

Example 2 (duplexMode)

Print booklet in duplex mode, printing only the front pages.
pp.pageHandling = pp.constants.handling.booklet;
pp.booklet.duplexMode = pp.constants.bookletDuplexMode.FrontSideOnly;
this.print(pp);

Thank you for the reply. Yeah i had tried the booklet option. But my requirement is not to print it as a booklet. I want the document to be printed not as a booklet, instead two pages on two sides of the paper.
