Is it possible to set up 2 separate printers?

Company wants to print the same document twice - the first printout from tray 1 then reprint it from tray 2

Sorry I'm not sure, but can this be set on the Printer side? That means every time you print, you need to print the same thing from tray2. I think you could try contacting the printer's partners first.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

In the Report Selections page you can set up the same report two times. This way when you print a report you'll get the prompt to print it twice. The first time you can select printer #1, the second time you can select printer #2.

Just curious to understand the business reason for printing the same document twice from two different trays.
Is it for different paper types (e.g., letterhead vs plain), or tracking the reprint, or for internal vs external copies, a compliance or audit requirement, Could this be solved by digital copies instead of physical prints?

I have not done this before, but I think there may be a possibility by customizing the report and then dynamically changing the Paper Source or updating the Paper Tray in the Printer settings when the report is printing. You need to explore some of the events available in the Report management codeunit.
