Print jetform in duplex mode

Hi!
We have a multipage jetform (designed using Adobe Output designer) called from smartform. User has requested to print the pages as duplex rather than single page printing.
I explored all the options of setting "Output option" at the smartform page level but no luck. Many solutions on SDN are mentioning the same option but in reality it does not work.
If anyone has come across similar situation please share.

Hi Experts,
I have an situation where I want to terms & conditions page on back side of my last page in SmartForm.

Please Help...
Thank you.

Hi,
In your terms and conditons page ouput options select print mode as 'D' ( dUPLEX ) and for this page the
next page should be space and call this terms page through command node at the end of main window and after the tables.
Thanks,
Phani.

HP Laserjet M1212NF USB no longer printing in manual duplex mode

Hello All,
I am currently having issues with my HP LaserJet M1212NF printer connected via USB. First, basic system information:
Windows 7 64-bit
Now, some backstory:
The printer was initially setup using Network installation. Then, I moved and could no longer access the network, so I deleted it from the Windows Device and Printer area and reinstalled it as a USB perinter. I installed all the updated drivers and Firmware updates. The printer now CANNOT print in duplex mode. I choose Manual Duplex in the printer settings AND when I print a multipage document. The printer simply prints the document normally, with no duplex. Please help. I've googled the problem, but have come up empty handed.

Hi Wilhendrickx,
I understand you aren't able to print two sided.
Thank you for your reply.
I will be happy to help you with this.
You can set the two sided option two different ways. Try both to see if it makes a difference.
To set the two sided printing for all print jobs.
Go to start, devices and printers, right click the printer, left click printer
properties, click on the finishing tab and check Print on both sides, (manually) apply and OK.
To set the two sided printing for 1 job.
From the application go to file, print, preferences, click on the finishing tab and
check Print on bot sides, (manually) apply and OK.
Disable the bidirectional support to see if that will make a difference.
Go to start, devices and printers, right click the printer, left click printer
properties, click on the ports tab at the top, uncheck Enable bidirectional support.
If it didn't work then go back in and check it again.
I would download and run the Print and Scan Doctor since it might resolve the issue
automatically.
Find and Fix Common Printer Problems Using HP Diagnostic Tools for Windows.
If that doesn't work then I would uninstall and reinstall the printer software.
Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Here is a URL to download and install the latest drivers again.
HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf Multifunction Printer Drivers.
Try the two sided printing now.
Hope this helps.

Printing multiple copies of 3 page BOL in Duplex mode-

Hi Gurus!
I have created a smartform to print the BOL on front side and terms and conditions on back side. I used the duplex mode to print and it works perfectly fine. When I have a BOL with 3 pages of information , it prints the items on the front side and terms and conditions on the second side and it does everything absolutely correctly.
At our organization we always print 5 copies of any BOL and that is when the problem arises. When we do a printing of the BOL form with number of copies set to 5 , it prints very akwardly with the settings. First it prints page 1 front and same thing on the back, then again the first page on the first and its back and then front on the third side , then similarly 5 sides of terms and conditions and then followed by 5 sides of page 2 items and followed by 5 sides of terms and conditions, which is very akward. Actually it should print first set with page 1 and TC on back of it , then Page 2 and TC on its back and page 3 and TC on its side like it does when I make a single copy.
Is there any settings that I am missing thats making the above happen when I print multiple copies of the BOL?
Please suggest.

Hi!
Thanks for the reply. I changed the settings of the printer to 'Pass Copies as Separate Output Request(in SAP System)' and re-tried printing 5 copies of the BOL and it again seems to print the first page 5 sides then Terms and conditions on 5 sides, then again 5 sides of page 2 and followed by 5 sides of T&C.
My settings on the smartforms is front page "D' and the back and the Last page is blank setting. This runs well when I just have to print one copy of my BOL , it prints the front page and then T&C on its back side , then again the second page and T&C on its back . This only messes when its more than one copy of the set of BOL.
Please suggest as to what to do next to make it print in proper sets.
Thanks and Regards
Aarav

Configurations done at SAP gui level to print in duplex mode

Hi Gurus,
We had a requirement to convert a printer to duplex mode, we changed all the settings at SAP level( kept duplex mode in printing mode and changed device type to SWAN (as post and pre2 device types are not available) ). But still we are not able to get the desired duplex mode.
Is there are any further settings or something done in server?
Is there any settings done at SAP gui to get the print as duplex from a report?
Thanks in advance....

Printing on the A5 in duplex mode on the printer HP1606dn

Good day! When you print on A5 format in duplex mode on the printer only prints HP1606dn second page - the printer does not return the page to be printed on the other side. When printing on A4 prints on both sides of the paper. Format settings before printing exhibited true. The problem is the driver? Installed Software 2012-10-17, Version 9.0
Need help! FNX

Don't know the answer, just a comment:
The User Guide manual states:
The printer driver only supports certain media sizes for automatic duplexing.
Use the manual duplexing procedure for media sizes not available in the printer driver
although it doesn't appear to say which sizes are affected!

Print in duplex mode

Hi experts,
I need to print on duplex mode ABAP list documents. My printer works with HPLJ4 PCL5 driver (ricoh Aficio 3045) on SAP but when i try to print on duplex mode (the printer properties are set to print on duplex by default) i can't get it.
I don't use Smart forms. On SPAD i have created a new device, the acces metod is F: Printing on front end computer, the device type copy of original HPLJ4 to test it, but i only can get paper printed simplex.
Please, Can you help me?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
The duplex settings in SPAD only work for device types that have the special list driver, Try using device type HPLJ4000 instead of HPLJ4 and create a new spool.

Printing SD Documents in DUPLEX mode

Hallo,
i have a big trouble. If i want to print all pages in DUPLEX mode (via change in SE71), first page is printed separately in SIMPLEX mode(all of these pages are set to DUPLEX mode).
Standard attributes are: FIRST page then LAST page.
Please help, thanks

Hi,
I don't know, but a weird guess is:
Is it S/w-realeted issue or H/w-related..
I think its printer-relaed.
Contact with your Admin - SAP as well System, in company itself.

Need Help...HP x476dw Printer and Duplex Mode

My printer won't stop printing in duplex mode. I have disabled all duplex settings and it's still printing double sided. Don't know where else to look????

From all of your apps or from one of them? Where have you disabled the settings? There are setting for page layour in apps (usually set to one page) and page settings on the HP (sest to duplex by default if my memory serves me on setup).

Canon ip4300 - Printing Properties, Duplex Mode

Hi! Where can I activate the Duplex Mode? At Tiger it was no Problem, by using the standard driver. When I clicked on print button in menue (or APPLE + p), there were several options, for example the duplex mode. At Leopard there are no options, there ist just a print button. I use the newest driver from the Canon webpage. What can I do? Does anybody know the problem?

Have you used the blue disclosure triangle next to the printer's name to expand the Print dialog?

with no INSTRUCTIONS at the back.
when i print, i am 1st page properly but also getting an xtra blank page with no INSTRUCTIONS on the back.
Can some one suggest me ?
Thanks

Hi,
Define a first page named FIRST for a form to be printed in duplex mode. You therefore set the Print mode in FIRST to D.
To make the duplex printing work correctly, you must define a second page FOLLOWER in which Print mode is left empty. In the form definition, you specify FOLLOWER as the follow-on page for FIRST and for itself as well.
Your text is then printed in duplex mode. FIRST switches the printer to duplex mode and forces printing of the first page on the front side of a new sheet. FOLLOWER accepts the duplex mode and sends no further mode print controls to the printer. The printer therefore alternately prints FOLLOWER pages on the fronts and backs of sheets.
For more details please refer to the below limk

P2055dn Locked in Duplex Mode

I have a LaserJet P2055dn printer with the duplexing unit installed. I have it connected to my router and have two computers attached to the router; one with the Win 7 OS and one with Vista.
I can print from both machines directly to the network printer, but only in Duplex Mode. No setting on either computer will allow me to print on only one side of the page.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software (downloaded from the HP site) several times, but that doesn't seem to make a difference; still no one sided printing.
The message boards indicate two other situations where this has occurred, but no answers were provided to either thread.
Can anyone help on this one?

I called HP Technical Support and paid for the one year warranty extension as the printer was out of warranty. It cost me $37.65. She took control of my machine, dumped the driver, uninstalled all the HP software relating to the printer, and then downloaded and installed the software and driver. It worked after she was done.
Uninstalling the software as well as the driver seemed to be the step I hadn't done.
I don't know if the software she downloaded and installed was the same software and driver that is available online. I know it wasn't the same as the software and driver that was on the DVD that came with the printer.
It was the best $38 I've spent in a long time!
