Hi Telerik Team,

I have been trying to print id cards as reports in my winforms app. The problem is they feed cards as batch of 10 cards in single sheet. For a member I use two cards from the batch (one for front, one for end of the card). Their question is do they have to waste the remaining 8 cards because they'll always print 2 at a time. So I am wondering if there is anyway to tell report to print to a particular point in paper or if there is a better way please point me to it. Please see attachment.
Thank you. All help is appreciated.

Hi Telerik

I also need a reply on this one.

We are trying to print Labels per job. We need to be able to feed a sheet of labels into our printer, but when actually printing, only print one of the labels. I do not need the whole sheet.

On a sheet with 2 x 8 labels, how can i print on label (1,3) only...?

Hi Shane,

Since your cards are supposedly constant size you can do the following: your data source should be the following: 
If you want to print on places 1 and 2 then the data source for the report should be {CardInfo1, CardInfo2}. 
If you want to print on places 4 and 5 (for example) than the data source should be {NULL, NULL, NULL, CardInfo4, CardInfo5}. And conditionally hide all the unnecessary visual objects (so the printer does not print on the blanks). This way the first 3 places will be skipped and the cards will be printed in places 4 and 5. 

All the best,
