This post is part of a series where I explain how to print to different trays in NAV

In this first part, we’ll quickly talk about options available in NAV that allow printing to different trays.

First, let’s check properties of report “Sales – Invoice” (ID 206):

Report Properties

As you can see, there are three properties that let you select the tray where the page should print. Here’s the official help from MSDN:

  1. PaperSourceFirstPage Property
  2. PaperSourceDefaultPage Property
  3. PaperSourceLastPage Property

Available values for each property are described here: Paper Sources and Tray Numbers (this link refers to Norway Local Functionality, but it explains all available tray numbers in any NAV database).

Note: In NAV 2009 R2 and older versions, the available options are PaperSourceFirstPage and PaperSourceOtherPages.

In the next blog, I’ll explain how you can try these options without having a printer with different trays.
