Collating Pages when printing

I have just bought an Epson PX710W printer and attached it to my iMac. All works well except when printing documents with multiple pages I want them to print out in reverse order, so I select 'collate'. However whether collate is selected or not the pages just print out the same, i.e, in the order I do not want. Instead of printing pages 10 - 1 for instance, so that the result is a collated document I always get pages 1 - 10. The collate tick box appears to have no effect.
Epson tell me this is a function within the OS that is overriding the setting within the printer dialog box.
Where can I look to resolve this so I can get printed pages collated?

"Collate" is not the same as "print in reverse order." To collate means that if you print multiple copies of multiple-page documents, the copies will be grouped such that each full document has all the pages in order.
For example, if you print a five-page document ten times, you might get ten page ones, ten page twos, and so on in piles. Selecting "Collate" means that you'll get ten sets of pages 1-5.
So what you need to do is look for an option that says "Print in Reverse Order" or something similar.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe you need Acrobat Pro for that.

How can i collate pages when printing multiple copies in reader?

i want to print 6 copies of a 12 page document. the new reader app allows multiple copies but does not have a collate button in the options???
Any ideas ?
Thanks

Hi,
Make sure you install the latest printer driver applied to Windows 8.1.
Would you please let me know the full name of the Reader? Did you mean the PDF reader?
We can also try to install the printer driver for Windows 8 in compatible mode to see what's going on.

Why does my image not reach the edges of the page when printed, but appears fine as pdf?

Check a printable area of your printer.
Make a (grey) rectangle that is larger than the paper size. Print it,
you'll get a message that some cropping will occur, that's okay. Then take a
ruler and measure the dimensions of the rectangle printed on the paper or
the white borders around the printed rectangle.

HP Laserjet P3015 double sided - the last odd page prints on the same page when printing two copies

HP Laserjet P3015 double sided printing is set up on Windows 7. When printing two copies of a document, if it has odd number of pages, the last page is printed on both sides of the page. There is no page feed for the last page.
Suppose say there are 3 pages in a document and you want to print two copies. It prints like 1/2, 1/2 and 3/3. The third page (odd number) print on the same page. The last page page does not print on two pages.
It works alright on Windows XP.

Hope that you have configured the correct paper type and size in the printer hardware and also selecting the same paper tray, size, type from the printer driver while printing.
It may be caused due to the job formatting done by the application software or some jobs settings done from the job/application or printer driver. Check by toggling the 'collate' option and also try to print from a different application software.

PDFs are always scaling to fit the page when printing, after OS X 10.9 upgrade

Hello,
When I try to print a PDF on a sheet that is larger or smaller then the page size I have selected in Acrobat, it always reduces or enlarged it to fit, even when I tell it not to do any scaling. Please see my step by step process below for more details on how I am sending the file to the printer.
Preface:
This problem began after I upgraded my Mac OS to 10.9, and it only applies when I print from Acrobat Pro to our poly platesetter (I work in the prepress department for an offset printer). I have Acrobat Pro 9 and 11 on my computer, and I have the problem using either one.
• I do not have this problem when printing from InDesign, or any other CC application.
• I can print to our four other printers (desktop or copiers) from Acrobat without any scaling problems.
Description of the problem:
This is an example of a file I may need to print, a #10 envelope. The sheet and document sizes are in red.
The 'Page Size' is 4.13" x 9.5" and I have it set to print 'Actual size.' I have also tried 'Custom Scale' at 100%, but I still have the same problem. The preview in the print dialog is correct. It should just print the envelope, not the cropmarks that were on the PDF. I've sent down countless envelopes this way before I upgraded to 10.9 without any trouble.
Above is a screenshot of the file after it has been ripped at our platesetter. You can see it reduced the entire document to fit on the selected page size. The cropmarks should not be there, and it shouldn't have reduced the artwork.
I also have the opposite problem of my artwork being enlarged if I send something down that is smaller than my selected page size.
I know this a very specific problem, so I understand that I may not get much help on it. Thanks in advance for any help you may offer. I have workarounds, but this is really slowing me down, and if I accidentally plate something that was reduced or enlarged can be a very costly mistake if it get printed that way.
My Equipment:
• Early 2008 - Quad-Core Mac Pro 2.8 GHz
• I use Abobe CC applications, but I've tried Acrobat 9.0 as an alterative to Acrobat 11
• Our platesetter is: Mitsubishi SDP-Eco 1630 IIIR
with a Harlequin RIP 9.0 Revision 0
Thank you in advance for any insight you may have.

A workaround I found for my Fiery RIP if insist on using Acrobat XI:
In Acrobat's Print dialog, set:
Choose paper source by PDF page size = ticked
Use custom paper size when needed = ticked
In Page Setup, set Page Size = your custom size, i.e. 4.13" x 9.5"
In Printer, open the Fiery driver properties and set Paper Size = your custom size, i.e. 4.13" x 9.5"

How to print within the margins of the page when printing from iPad to HP Envy D410a?

When I try to print something from the iPad, either the 1 or the 2, the result is that the image sent from the iPad is printed Borderless, which of course results in parts of the print being cutoff, is there someway to resize the print through the printer, since the iPads don't have drivers?
Also, I seem to have a similar problem when printing from my PC, only in it's case the resulting print is smaller, it seems to print into a margin size of 1" on all sides. The only app that I have found that lets me override this is Adobe Reader which has the page scaling options.
All suggestions will be appreciated. TIA.
Stephen.

HT4356 Blank page when printing from email

I just got and set up Epson NX 430. It is AirPrint printer and is printing from both iPhone and iPad.
Seems to be fine except when printing except from email. Then it always feeds a blank page first then prints the email. I can't figure out how to stop it from feeding blank page.
I contacted Epson and they say it is an AirPrint issue and I have to contact Apple for that.
Anyone else having same issue and any ideas of how to fix or stop the blank page?

In the Print dialog, select Open PDF in Preview from the PDF menu in the lower left corner. Is the print preview blank?

Any way to remove extra blank "separator" pages when printing in Numbers?

Hello, I've just started using Numbers '09 and noticed that for each page I have, there is an extra blank "separator" page that is added. Last night, I started a spreadsheet using one of the templates, and it's only 2 pages long, but it states on the sidebar that it's 4 pages. Those extra blank pages are only seen when you do a Print Preview. Is there a way to remove or disable these extra blank pages?
I don't want those blank pages to print, especially when there are multiple sheets within the file with those blank pages mixed in-between. Plus, I send the file to others to reference too and would like them to be able to print the pages seamlessly without having to remove any blank separator pages that are printed in-between. Seems like there should be an easy remedy to this, but so far, haven't been able to find the solution. Thanks for your help!

Hi,
Unlike other spreadsheet programs, Numbers doesn't have wall-to-wall tables. Tables have a finite size and wherever there is a table a page will print, whether there is content in the cells on that page or not. To prevent the sheets without content from printing, you need just reduce the size of the tables to what you actually are using. If you select a cell in your table and scroll to the lower right corner of the table, you will find a large handle that when dragged will change the number of Rows and Columns. Drag the handle up and to the left until it encounters content. It will stop there on its own.
Now go to the Print View mode: View > Show Print View. You will see all the pages with content and adjacent non-printing pages will be grayed-out.
Hope this helps.

Problem centering page when printing: Lion and CS 5

Just installed Apple's Lion. Am running Illustrator CS 5.
Went to print a file, chose the center on page option from the new icon in Adobe's Print dialog box. The page does not print centered on the paper. It prints way off!
I can get the page to print to fit the page, borderlessly, which is what I would like to do now; but, I have to select the option to fit in the upper left corner. I am now anticipating problems in the future when I simply want to print a page centered.
This could be an Adobe, Apple, or Epson problem (I have an Epson Stylus Photo 1400); or a combination.
Has anyone else experienced this? Does it happen on other apps? Is there a place to report bugs to Adobe?

Good call! After your post, I did run Software Update, but the only thing there was an iTunes update. I do recall seeing an Epson printer update in the last day or two; but, I don't recall which of my computers called for it. In any case, on this computer, after checking Software Update and finding nothing, there is still an issue printing centered pages from Illustrator CS 5 15.0.2.

Missing pages when printing images

Hi,
I'm fightig against a very strange problem when printing. When drawing images with g2.drawImage often everything is ok.
But sometimes the output is incomplete - perhaps all pages after # 2 or # 7 are missing. Or no pages are missing but some images and later drawen elements of the affected pages are missing - next page will be ok.
Printing 15 pages with 1 image per page goes wrong 2 times of 12 trys.
Facts:
- image is loaded completely (from database)
- there are no ignored Exceptions
- Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler is used - without response, as expected
- all pages are requestet by print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pi) and processed without errors
- jdk 1.4.2, 1.5.0_04, 1.5.0_06 compatible ...
- using g2.create() for the image doesn't help
- problem exists on all printers which testet and Adobe-PDF-"printer"
- increasing memory doesn't help
- it seams as doubleBuffering=off will increase correct pages before get one damaged/missing
- WinXP SP2
Any idea?
Thanks
Stefan

Thanks ! - and you are most "welcome" "lera1981" ! .........
With respect to the printing problem with Reader 9.x and your report of your experiments with Reader 9.x and with network-printing then I tend to agree with your assessment that it would seem as the problem is probably with Reader 9.x's printing capeability .
Just for the record I would like to report that my experience with network-connected office-class HP printer has been that some printing problems I've seen in the past with Adobe Reader X.xx has been rectified though the change of driver-type and/or driver-generation such as a switch from e.g. a "PCL 6" driver to a "PCL 5" driver . Last time I experienced a printing problem with a network-connected office-class HP printer I then had to change the driver to their "HP Universal Print Driver".
While I would say that you are probably right that a change of printer-driver would not make a difference in your case then the point of my writing is that Adobe Reader X.xx or (it's interaction with) Windows seems to be "printer-driver tech-sensitive" understood as that Reader printing tends to respond differently to different "driver tech" !

Cp 1700 skipping pages when printing

I do not know if the problem comes from MS Excel or a printer issue but, when I go to print a multiple page spread sheet the first page prints and the rest are blank.
Sometimes, but not on every skipped page I will get a page number printed.
Help.

Hello Imajene,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some issues with the printer skipping lines when attempting to print.
Please click on the following link for Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP ENVY 4500 and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3540 e-All-in-One Pr....
Once you have completed the steps in the document, try doing a stand alone Copy and see if you have the same results. If the issue is resolved when doing a Copy, then try printing from the computer. If the issue reappears when printing from the computer, then this could be an issue with the software or a possible interruption from a Windows Firewall or Anti Virus program.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

Part of page "image" overlaps the page when printed. How do I fix this?

When printing from Acrobat 10.1.5, part of the contents of the page prints on top of the page itself. In my most recent case, the page is landscape. The portion of the page that overprinted is from the bottom center about 1 inch wide and 4 inches tall. It ended up on the top right of my page.
Portrait example - a similar sized "piece" from the middle of the 8.5" length, about 1 inch tall and 4 inches wide printed on the top left of my portrait page.
I have tried the quick fix - print as image - but that doesn't change anything. Help!

Hi Casey ,
You can check the properties of that calender option and if there is an option of opening the calender in the same page ,then please select that.
Or is it with the help of button option you have created the calender?
