Paper Source Change ??

Post Author: JLTerMarsch
CA Forum: General
I have created a form letter, which prints a page 1 of the letter, which is all contained in the group header area. Then I have 1 or more following pages of data related to the group item, printing in the detail section. I want the first page to print on letterhead, and the following pages to print on plain paper. This requires the changing of paper source when going from the group header to the detail sections. And subsequently, for the next letter in the "overall report" to switch back to the letterhead paper source when it enters the group section for the second letter.
How can I create a function that will allow me to change paper source on the fly?

You can print the very first page on a letterhead and the rest on plain paper, not sure if it can be done where the first page of every group is printed on a letterhead.
File | Print | Preferences
Depending on your printer, under the 'Paper' tab, you should see a tab titled 'All Pages'. Under it you should have a check box with 'Use different paper for first page'. Upon checking that box, you will be given options on which tray and paper to use for the first page and the same for the other pages and also for the last page.
That is how I print the first page on letterhead and the rest on plain paper. The only issue I see with your printing would be to get it to print on letterhead for every group header.

Does anyone have a PowerShell script which change the paper source on a Canon Image Runner Advance?

I came across this Powershell script on the web, which does a good job of printing out PDFs:
Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Users\Test\Documents\Listing.pdf” –Verb Print -PassThru | %{sleep 10;$_} | kill
Start-Process -FilePath “C:\Users\Test\Documents\Scan0001.pdf” –Verb Print -PassThru | %{sleep 10;$_} | kill
Start-Process -FilePath “C:\Users\Test\Documents\Scan0004.pdf” –Verb Print -PassThru | %{sleep 10;$_} | kill
See: http://gregcaporale.wordpress.com/2012/01/18/powershell-to-print-files-automatically/
What I want to know is, does someone know how to write a Powershell script so that before printing out each PDF, a tab will be pulled from a separate paper source tray. I need the Powershell script to
1. Set the paper source to tray 4 where the tabs are.
2. Print a one page PDF which just reads "Tab 1" or whatever, on the tab itself
3. Set the paper source to ray 1 where letter sized paper is.
4. Print a PDF of the document to go behind tab 1.
. . . and then repeat.
I am working with a Canon Image Runner Advance copier/printer into which tabs can be loaded. It includes an insert sheets setting in the properties, which allows a user to specify the pages where a tab or slip sheet should go. But I don't want to deal with creating a very large PDF, and then identifying all of the pages where an insert should occur.

Here is the powershell code for adding ips to relayiplist..hope this helps.
this code will take the ips of the host machine and add it to the relayiplist...works for me...

Acrobat 9 "Choose paper Source by PDF page size" prints as thumbnail

I have a customer who is trying to print a document that has different page sizes, eg. p.1 is 8 x 11, p.2 is 11 x 17. He can select the page size manually and everything works as expected. If you put a check mark in "Choose paper Source by PDF page size" it prints as backward thumbnails on 8 x 11. Selecting "print as image" makes it fill the page, but only prints on 8 x 11. Changing the printer driver to PCL did not fix, nor did installing an updated PS driver. All updates have been installed. I called tech support and they basically just gave me link to the script they use during troubleshooting. I also did a google search, but haven't come up with a valid answer. It is Acrobat 9 Standard on Win XP. Any advice is good advice.

It's a Windows only feature: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/332/332720.html#main_Mixed_sizes

Paper Source by Page Size

I often print documents on letter or legal size paper. I'm currently switching my office over from Windows based products (and Acrobat 9 Standard) to Mac, and upgraded to the newest Acrobat as well.
When printing, I've noticed that the printer defaults to letter size documents for every PDF, even if the PDF is on legal paper. There is no option to select paper source by page size when printing.
However, for each document, I can go to Properties > Advanced, and there's an option for "Paper Source by Page Size." However, this only applies to the current document, and not future documents.
Am I missing something here? Why can't I default to select the paper source by page size? This was an option in Windows and Acrobat 9, so is this feature actually gone now?

Hi Andrew,
Apple made some pretty significant changes to the way that printers function when they released 10.6.
The setting you're looking for is completely controlled by the OS.
Choose Apple > System Preferences > Print & Fax.
Click on your printer and use the drop-down menu to change the default page size for your printer.

Paper source by page size not doing the trick

We are using Acrobat X on Windows 7.
Are there printing presets that allow for 8.5x11 to print as is, but limits larger pages to 11x17?
We have to deliver large PDFs to a commercial printer (so we'd like to save presets to file) for them to print a "book" for us. The pages we have compiled are of various sizes: 8.5 x 11, 11 x 17, 23 x 24, etc.
Our printer has 8.5 x 11 and 11 x 17 paper only, and so we'd like to limit the largest pages in our PDF to 11 x 17. When we use Paper source by page size preset, the 23 x 24's throw an error -- they want A4 paper.
We don't want to scale the 8.x5 x 11's up to 11 x 17.
Is there a solution?

Trouble accessing Paper Source in page settings db for Epson printer

I am trying to print on an Epson 7600 using a sheet of paper, but the default settings are for roll paper. I see the setting in the page attributes of the print dialog box, but cannot find a way to change it. I've tried the page setup (where it is supposed to be), the printer setup (no option available at all), and have followed every button option of every window. It is the same for apple Mail program as CS2, so I think it is a printer db problem, not photoshop.
ps, my epson C84 works fine... it is the 7600 default settings that are not accessable-
HELP! and thanks for you help-

my problem is now solved. I got with Epson support. We had to remove the printer from the printers/scanners in the Preferences section of the iMac HD after unplugging the usb cable. Then, we went to the disc utility in Applications folder and performed a disc repair. After that we connected the printer, rebooted, opened PE12/LR4.4 and, voila, the paper source and media type now contained the appropriate info. Something was not right in my system, one of those mysteries.

Adobe Reader 11 "choose paper source by pdf page size" does not work

Hello,
I have a user that utilizes the "choose paper source by pdf page size" option when printing a PDFs. He has a PDF that has a letter sized page and a legal sized page.
I recently upgraded his Adobe Reader from 10 to 11 and now that option isn't working for him. The printer is an HP LaserJet M2727nf MFP.
Are their any bugs regarding that feature in the new Adobe Reader?
Thanks!

If you have not updated Acrobat, try that before you go further. Currently AA9 is at 9.5.1.

Selecting "choose paper source by pdf page size" causes page to print as mirror image thumbnail

Printing from acrobat reader 9.3.4 to a bizhub C220 printer/copier using the postscript driver in XP sp3. when you select "choose paper source by pdf page size" the document prints mirror image as a tiny thumbnail in the corner of the page? We have replicated the problem with different computers and other copier/printers. This does not occur when using the PCL driver. Any ideas?

Do you not get any options after you have selected print
then select Print using System dialogue
which then opend another box , where I select Layout
and can select how I want the document printed.
As you can see I do use an Epson Printer though, but this is the way when using Mac OSX

I have created a pdf and then want to send it to my boss. When he recieves it it is saved in the 14 X 8.5 inches version. How can I saved it on my end as a 11 x 8.5 inch so he doesn't have to uncheck "Choose paper source by PDF page size"?

Hi heathers,
You would need to print the file to a new PDF with the appropriate page size.

Xerox 7830 fails to obey "Choose paper source by PDF page size" option in Acrobat Pro -- Adobe issue or Xerox issue? Workaround?

Our former office printer (Xerox 7345) had no problem with this. But the new Xerox 7830 fails to obey the "Choose paper source by PDF page size" option in Acrobat Pro. Even the "Page Setup" is overridden by the Xerox printer driver. It is extremely annoying to have to go into the Xerox driver dialog every time, regardless of that check in the box and the correct dimensions being displayed in the picture.....

Unfortunately, not only does this not solve the problem with multi-page-size documents, but it's begun happening on files which are all one size as well, where that box isn't even checked.
It appears that what's happening is the newer versions of Adobe Acrobat don't play nicely with emulated postscript support past a certain date. We're replacing our Canon with a newer model that has actual postscript support, and if that resolves the issue I'll be certain to post confirmation here. Copies of Adobe Acrobat 7 and 8 in our office haven't seen this problem at all; it's simply everyone who has upgraded past that point that can't print reliably.
More news next week, after we get the new copier.

Print by choosing paper source by PDF page size from MAC

I have an iMAC with Maverick OS. I am printing to both an HP 401 monochrome laser printer and an HP Laser Jet Pro CM1415fnw Color Printer. I receive .pdf files which contain both letter and legal sized pages. I know that I cannot print out letter and legal size pages by selecting "choose paper source by PDF page size" from my MAC. This does present a problem for me (and I'm sure many others). What I would like to know is 1) is there a way around this problem and 2) are there any plans for Adobe to address a resolution to this issue by fixing the option so that MAC users can achieve the same level of ease of print results as Window users? There is certainly a large segment of the population who are now MAC users. Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion, Steve. I did go to that link and asked the same
information of Adobe directly. Their NB at the bottom of the page says
that due to the large number of questions asked and information requested,
they usually do NOT respond to the users. Too bad. How else are we
supposed to get valid info? I believe almost all the other software
vendors do have a contact location from which they will address user's
concerns and will contact you with some kind of info. Welcome to the new
world of customer service!! i.e., Go figure it out by yourself!!
