Description

This method returns a two dimensional array that contains the bins supported by the current printer.  The array has the following format:

 

         aBins[x,1] = name of the bin ("Auto")

// ? the supported paper bins

aBins := oPtrDevice:GetPaperBins()

for nLp := 1 to alen(aBins)

         ? aBins[nLp,1]

next nLp
