Maxify MB5320 How do I make a duplex document flippable ( reverse side upside down)

Question

I have a 40 page docuiment, in landscape mode, that I duplex. The doc. will be placed in a binder and when the reader reads it he/she will flip the pages top to bottom. I wish to print the reverse side of each page  upside-down so the reader will not have to continually turn the binder over. How?

Inovich, because you've already set up your pages to be "two-up" on a landscape page from within FM, in my experience it's highly unlikely that any of the imposition software will be able to process the job, because for all intents and purposes that is  just a single landscape page -- not two pages.
The only way I know that you'll be able to have any sort of correct imposition from software is to redo your file as a single page, in other words where only a single page number appears on each individual page.
The best way to do this is to
make a backup of your current doc, of course
create a brand new FM document, using 8.5x11 pages. This is a single page only. Don't worry about the actual physical page size being bigger than your eventual target of half of a landscape page, because Acrobat or the imposition software can handle that later. Set your document to be double-sided. Set the master page text frames and headers/footers to the correct sizes. SAVE this file as a different filename (e.g. BlankTemplate.fm).
Copy the BlankTemplate.fm to another new filename (e.g. Working.fm)
Open your original FM document. In  Working.fm do File > Copy > Formats and bring in all of the formats EXCEPT the page layouts. Save this file as your new version.
In your new version, leave the pagination as it is, from first page to last page. The imposition software working on the PDF file will "slice and dice" these pages to rearrange them according to the requirements for duplex printing on a different sheet size (landscape).
When you make your PDF you may see differences in how the page size appears, or whether the page appears trimmed down to be 7 x 8.5, depending on what versions of FM and Acrobat you're using and on what options you have in your Distiller setup. The printing company will usually be able to adjust these.
