Conditional Duplex Printing

What is the best way to do conditional duplex printing? While printing invoices, just the last page needs to be in duplex mode, so that address details could be printed on the back side of the very last page. We have a solution at the moment, to have page breaks/sections breaks after the invoice data, which gives us what exactly what we want but, it is just not optimal. The printing takes a little bit extra time. Wondering if anybody out there has an elegant and efficient solution.
Thanks

Hi,
I am also facing the same issue. Could you please explain me how are you conditionally printing duplex pages just for the last page.
In my case, I need to print the check in the footer section of the last page of the invoice and right behind that page, I need to print the address change section.
I have used <?last-page....?> functionality of XMLP to print the check in the footer section of the last page, and unable to print address section from there on in a new page.
So could you please send me your sample rtf template to [email protected] or explain the steps you followed to accomplish the work around.
Thanks and I appreciate your time on this.
Shankar.

Duplex printing of invoice list in smartform

Hi,
I am new to smartforms and I have to handle duplex printing. I need information like how to give the page sequence for duplex printing.
I have 2 pages, page 1 prints the header list of the invoice. Page 2 prints the invoice list and has the main window, hence if the data in the 2nd page overflows then the invoice list will be printed on the 3rd page. In this scenario I have to get terms & conditions printed behind all the 3 pages.
I created page3 with terms & conditions. This is the way I gave:
PAGE1 - Print mode: D; Next page: Page3
PAGE3 - Print mode: ' '; Next page: Page1
PAGE2 - Print mode: D; Next page: Page3
I have a doubt like if the 3rd page is printed with invoice list then will the 3rd page contain the terms & conditions? Please correct me if I am doing wrong.
Thanks & Regards,
Kate.

Hi
It depends on where you've placed those data, if they are in the bottom of the main, yes you're right: they'll be printed only in the last page.
If they're are in another window, they are printed in every page (where the window is defined).

Problem with duplex printing in smartforms

I have 2 pages in my smartform. both the page are with print mode 'D'(Duplex).
While printing the first page goes back for duplex printing but the output is printed on next page.
I want the second page to be printed at backside.
I have also tried other combination 1st page = D and 2nd page = ''. Nothing is working.
printer settings are all right also i have a different smartform it is printing in duplex mode and working fine.
what is the issue with this smartform?
Please help me.

hi,
in your main window of first page at the end adda an alternative -true or false
in the alternative add a condition saying if it is end of items.(end of items is nothing but a flag).
if this condition satisfies then call page 2 else call page1.
if it stil does not work then reply back then will give you another answer.
but before this is your output going to have multiple pages?

Duplex printing for last 2 pages only

A customer has an invoice report where they want the terms and conditions (which are 2 pages) duplexed while the report itself is not printed that way. Any ideas if this can be done using native SSRS?

I am not sure this will work or not, but you could embed the printer code for duplex printing into your stream.

Duplex printing script

Hi All,
I have requirement for a customer Acct statement form, wherein I have to print different footers on alternate pages.. say like.
it's a duplex printing script.
for each customer statements, the first page should have a footer "Contd on reverse" and the second should have "contd.."
and again the third "Contd on reverse".
I.e for even pages it's "Contd on reverse"
and for odd pages it's "contd..".
I suppose we can manage using the PAGE variable.
Can you provide some help on how to go about this logic.

Hi,
Based on the page number try to print the footer. Try to define the text elements in the same window. In driver program, try to keep if condition based on page number then print the correspoding text elements.
or
In driver program-> calling Text elemnts-> keep this code in Text element in script.
consider the MOD of page No by 2.
If it is Zero
print that 'Conttd on reverse'.
else.
print 'Contd'.
endif.
Thanks & Regards,
Chandralekha.

Invoice Duplex Printing

I've read through a number of posts on duplex printing but I haven't seen a solution to my particular problem. On the back of invoice first page we would like to print a full page of Terms&conditions. I've set up a back page with one window of type const to hold the sales conditions. If only one page is der means terms& conds are not coming.. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
Regards
Swetha

Static/Dynamic page support - duplex printing

Hi there,
Please could we request a "static page" feature for the PLD in B1. Essentially we would like to be able to print out Terms&Conditions on the reverse of our Marketing Documents (we have a duplex printer) on ALL pages. ie: pge1 dynamic, pge2 static, pge3 dynamic, pge4 static etc etc.
I understand Crystal Reports would be a possible solution, but we are not using this and wouldn't really like to start to just for this feature.
Thanks
Raj

As far as I can tell, using static Text field will allow me to have a single page of terms and conditions at the end of the marketing document. Unfortunately, we need the terms to be on the reverse side of each page of the marketing document. If this is possible with static text, could you outline this for me?
Thanks,
Raj

Manual duplex printing doesn't work for LaserJet 100 color MFP M175a

Hi !
OS Windows 8.1. Printer LaserJet 100 color MFP M175a. Driver version 61.108.8.10073 date 2011 Apr 13th
1. After switching on checkbox "Print on Both Sides (Manually)" on "Finishing" tab of Print Properties Dialog and
start printing, dialog with instruction how to turn paper appears. Then printer must print odd pages, stop for
turning paper and then continue printing of even pages on the back side of paper sheets. But my device prints
all pages sequentually in order 1,2,3,... without any breaks. What is it- my mistake or possible bug in driver ?
2. Windows API function DeviceCapabilities with fwCapability=DC_DUPLEX for this printer returns 0 (duplex printing
impossible). This value for any other HP printer, even without automatic duplexer, always equel to 1.
This question was solved.

Duplex Printing on a HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless Printer

Duplex printing - 1. How do you change the settings to make the printer print on both sides of a single sheet of paper?
                         2. How do you change the settings to make the printer print on both sides of a single sheer of paper and
                              when it prints the backside of the sheet it rotates the text so that when you read the text you FLIP it
                              up vertically to read the backside rather than just turning the over to read the text on the backside.
I thought I knew the answer to this question - but yesterday when I printed an Owner's Manual for a friend the printer printed 10 sheets that you had to FLIP the sheet over to read the text on the other side (Note: FLIP was not "X"'d. Then when I printed again I changed the setting so that FLIP was "X"d and it printed with the orientation that I needed (just turn the sheet over to read the text on the backside of the sheet).
NO instructions about "Printer Settings" came with the printer so I am in the dark about "HOW TO" things. As I said before I thought I need how to do it - but it performed exactly backwards as I had thought,,,Have I got TOO old to remember HOW TO set up settings? Would appreciate help with this and where I can do to get info about HP Printer Settings. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I assume you are using Windows 7
For 1)
Click Start. Go to "Devices and Printers".
Double Click on the printer icon.
Click Customize Printer
Click Preference
Select "Print on both sides" and select "Flip on long Edge"
For 2)
Repeat the same steps but select "Flip on short Edge"
You can find the same preferences when you click on preferences on the print menu (Ctrl + P)

Duplex printing problem with hp 9500 (right side always just half printed)

Since OS X 10.6 was released there is a problem with the print out of duplex printed pages (specially via Indesign CS4 broschure printing function). Using Mac OS X 10.5.8 with old and new driver everything is fine - but under 10.6, 10.6.1 or 10.6.2 neither old nor one of the new driver releases 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 will work.
When I´m trying to print a duplex printing page the print of the right page will be cutted off at the half of the page - like the page would not print A3 horizontally but vertically (so the rest is cut off). The new print features within the printing menu (manual duplex print and print broschure will have same effect but with a strange miniaturization to A5 - although it should be A4). All in all the is no way to print out a duplex printing with OS X 10.6 and hp 9500. Will there be any solution in sight? Are there other with the same effect?

I have an identical issue to neuegestaltung, but with an HP 5500. I can print single-sided to A3/tabloid successfully but when I try printing duplex the right quarter of the page is cut off on both sides - almost as if it thinks it's printing portrait.
Applications affected include Adobe Acrobat 8 and 9, Adobe CS3 and CS4 applications including InDesign.
Preview works fine, but of course the colour balance makes the output unusable.
OS 10.6.2, print driver HP Color LaserJet 5500 v 3010.107.
Using the Gutenprint driver I can't either do A3 or colour so there is no solution there.
Worked fully and correctly with the same apps under 10.5.x.
At the moment I am running Windows XP under VMWare to print from Acrobat, which is plainly silly.
Any useful* observations, suggestions or workarounds welcome.
*Needless to say, "It's Adobe's problem" or similar are not acceptable responses. It may well be an interaction between the Adobe's applications and Apple's printing system and/or driver of course; in that case the companies need to collaborate to solve the issue.

HP LaserJet 1320 Duplex Printing Not working with Windows 7

Hi
I've just bought a new PC with Windows 7 Home Premium. I have an HP LaserJet 1320 printer (Prod no. Q5927A, SN CNGW53RLRY).
I cannot find driver that works the same way as the previous driver HP LaserJet PCL5. If I use this driver and can still get duplex printing but it will only print one copy at a time.
If I upgrade to HP Universal Printing PLC (or PLC v5) I can print multiple copies but not duplex printing. I have searched high and low through the HP site but to no avail.
Any help and advice will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
I've seen this same issue with my printers (other HP printers) whereby the default setting to support the Duplexing hardware was set to 'off'.
A quick method to check this is look at what the setting is for Duplex hardware in the Device Settings tab, and if it's not set, correct it.
Printer Properties:
From the 'Start' orb -> [Devices & Printers] -> right click on your Printer icon -> select 'Printer Properties' -> click on 'Device Settings' tab.
You should see a dialog similar to the mine (attached): look for the 'Duplex unit (for 2-sided printing)' and see if it's set to "Not Installed":
--> in either case, click on 'Not installed' and from the dropdown box, select 'Installed'... Click 'OK' to accept the changes and close the dialog.
Printing Preferences:
again, right click on your Printer icon -> select 'Printing Preferences' -> click on 'Advanced' tab.
-->Check to see if there is a 'Duplex Hardware' or '2-sided printing' option in here: mine doesn't show one but thougth I'd mention it nonetheless.
Click on the 'Finishing' tab and select 'Print on both sides'...or simply test print a multi-page document and set those preferences on-the-fly.
Let me know if this helps...

CS5.5 InDesign: Last 2 pages of multipage duplex print come out 1-sided

Using CS5.5 InDesign, last 2 pages of a multipage duplex print come out 1-sided. Same page ranges print OK in PDF. Printer is HP Color Laserjet 4700 with latest device firmware. Have latest HP drivers on Mac OS 10.7.
This is a recent problem. Had no problems with CS5 InDesign duplex printing from this computer to this printer until a couple weeks ago. First sign of an issue was that printing slowed to a crawl. Literally 5 minutes to resolve one page to the printer. Updated the printer firmware and speedy printing returned, but then noticed the duplex printing issue. Problems began about the same time as a Mac OS system update, but I'm not sure which came first, the software update or the printing issues. No problems with the printer from other software or other computers on the network.
I have read that certrain InDesign print settings sometimes produce unexpected results in some computer environments. Am hoping this is the case, and someone on this forum will know the trick.

evollowitz wrote:
...and someone on this forum will know the trick.
I think for most users, "the trick" that produces the most consistently predictable result is to never print directly from InDesign; always go to PDF and print that. Personally, I haven't even attempted to print from InDesign since CS2.

Can't do duplex printing!

I'm in an office with four iMacs running OS X Leopard v10.5.8.
We're all using CS4 Acrobat 9 Pro v9.4.6 (which Check For Updates tells me is up-to-date).
We're printing to a networked Xerox Phaser 6180DN.
And we can't print anything in two-sided duplex from Acrobat Pro.
We can print in duplex from every other application on the iMacs (including other CS4 apps) without problem.
But I need to be able to print non-CS PDF files in duplex.
I've done Google searches and searches within Adobe Help.
I've found the File>Properties>Advanced>Duplex Flip Long Edge
This doesn't make any difference.
Please don't tell me to upgrade to CS5 or Acrobat X Pro ... that's out of my hands.
Please do tell me how I can enable duplex printing from Acrobat 9 Pro!

Guys ... I've been using Macs and Adobe products since the late 80s.
I still have a copy of Illustrator 88 (the original one) sitting on a ZIP disc somewhere.
I do have a clue on using these applications.
That's why problems like this are so frustrating. It should simply work ... and it doesn't!
And Yes ... both are set to double sided printing and No it doesn't print doubled sided:
1. File>Properties>Advanced>Duplex Mode is set to: Duplex Flip Long Edge
2. In the Layout pane in the Print window, Two Sided is set to Long Edge Binding
And all the pages are printed one one side of the paper.
Further, we went the long way around and tried to print the catalog directly from the source InDesign file, which takes fricking forever.
Even more annoying was that some of the pages were printed double sided and some of the pages were printed single sided.
Now, I can pull up large documents in Microsoft Word 2008 Mac (which I HATE - I use Apple Pages at home) and just click Two Sided from Off to Long Edge Binding ... and I get a perfect (well almost) double sided print.
Now what?????
