GdPicture14 Namespace / GdPicturePDF Class / PrintGetDuplexMode Method

PrintGetDuplexMode Method (GdPicturePDF)

In This Topic
Returns the printer duplex mode setting of the active printer. This property determines whether a page is printed on both sides (if the printer supports this feature).
Syntax
'Declaration

 


Public Function PrintGetDuplexMode() As Duplex
public Duplex PrintGetDuplexMode()
public function PrintGetDuplexMode(): Duplex; 
public function PrintGetDuplexMode() : Duplex;
public: Duplex PrintGetDuplexMode(); 
public:

Duplex PrintGetDuplexMode();

Return Value

A member of the Duplex enumeration. The value of the active printer duplex mode setting.

The GetStat method can be subsequently used or the PrintGetStat method to determine if this method has been successful.

Remarks
It is recommend to use the GetStat method or the PrintGetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.

Just to remind you that the active printer is the printer identified by the PrintGetActivePrinter method or set by the PrintSetActivePrinter method and it is dedicated to executing all subsequent print jobs using this class as well as utilizing all by you altered printer settings.
