Printing a double sided document

Hi
I am trying to print a double sided document, it tells me to do this I need to select Two sided US letter which is not available in the drop down menu. Help please thanks

What tells you?
What drop down menu?
What printer are you using?
Does your printer support duplexing? If it doesn't you will have to print one side and feed the paper back into the printer to print the 2nd side.
Why are you printing to US letter if you are in the UK?

Printing multiple double-sided Word documents results wrong side being used

When printing from MS Word (Office 2004 11.2.5) several Word documents in rapid succession (so the first has not finished by the time the second has been received by the printer) in double-sided layout (as per the Print Dialog option) and the first document is an odd number of pages then instead of the final page of the first document being printed with stuff just on the first side it actually contains [incorrectly] the first page of the second document on the second side.
That is -
Document 1
1-2 3-4 5-6 7
Document 2
1-2 3-4 5-6 7
end up like
1-2 3-4 5-6 7-1 2-3 4-5 6-7
instead of
1-2 3-4 5-6 7-blank 1-2 3-4 5-6 7-blank
This happens when printing to both a HP Color LaserJet 4600DN (with built-in duplex unit) and a Konica-Minolta Magicolor 7300 (also with built-in duplex unit).
The HP Color LaserJet has 160MB of RAM and a hard disk, the Konica-Minolta Magicolor has 256MB of RAM and no hard disk.
Has anyone else seen this happen and does it happen in other programs (Microsoft being notorious for the number of bugs in Office for Mac they have).

Hi John,
This sounds odd as each print job would exist as a separate spool file with its own job number. If it wasn't for both machines doing the same I would have said it was the printer. But as you have said Word is a rogue when it comes to printing (and man other things). In order to get the next document printing so quickly after the previous, do you have both documents open? Also, are you using the Print icon in Word, or goinf File > Print? If you are using the icon, then I would suggest trying File > Print (or Command P ) as I have seen some strange results when the icon is used.
I have also seen the "Collated" option cause unwanted results. Try disabling this in the Copies & Pages menu of the Print Dialog (and maybe saving a Preset with it disabled so it can be defaulted to this).
Regards,
Paul

How can I copy a double-sided document and make double-sided copies on an officejet 6830?

how can I copy a double-sided document and make double-sided copies on an HP officejet 6830?

Hi,The 6830 only provide double sided printing, it does not offer 2 sided copying, a such can only be done manually. You may find the printer specifications below:Scanning options (ADF): Single-sidedhttp://store.hp.com/UKStore/Merch/Product.aspx?id=E3E02A&opt=A80&sel=DEF#merch-tech-specs Regards,Shlomi

Faxing double sided documents with HP 6700

OfficeJet 6700 Premium with Win 7 Pro 64 bit.
How can I fax a group of double sided documents.
Although my printer contains a duplexer, I don't see how to take advantage of this feature when faxing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The Officejet 6700 does not have a duplexer in the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) that would allow copying or faxing the back side of documents automatically. For the Officejet 6700 you will need to do one of the following:
Copy the back side, then interleve the copies with the original and feed this through the ADF, or
Load the pages manually on the scanner glass.
If you have many double sided copies to fax or this is a regular occurance you may prefer a printer that has double sided scanning capability in the ADF. The HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium are two models I am familar with that have this capability.

I can't print a double sided paper

I can't print a double sided project, I don't know what I am doing wrong.

If your printer doesn't do two sided printing (most don't) print the odd pages first, then flip the paper over and print the even pages. You will have to experiment to see how to flip the paper.
I do it by printing page 1, then flipping page one over and putting it back into the paper tray.
Then I print pages 2 and 3.
Remove the the completed page 1 and 2.
Flip page 3 over and print pages 4 and 5.
Repeat the process until you are done.

How do I setup magazine to view pages consecutively, but print for double sided 11x17?

I have a quarterly newsletter I've begun. I set it up as (8) 11x17 pages with (2) 8-1/2" x 11" page views per 11x17 page, so that when they print double sided, there are consecutive. The problem is that when I am trying to navigate from page to page, they are not consecutive on the screen. Is there a way to set up the pages at 8-1/2" x 11" consecutively in InDesign, but send to printer for two sided 11x17 and have the pages come out in the right place?
Not sure that I am describing properly. For instance viewing an 11x17 page (Page 1 as far as InDesign is concerned), the right half is Page 1, and the left half is page 16; or (page 2 in InDesign) is page 15 on the left side, and page 2 on the right side. This all prints perfectly, but navigating it during layout is extremely cumbersome. Also, printing for general public PDF viewing is impossible.
Thanks, Rick

LOL - That for sure I knew. I just didn't know what to do about it. I checked Acrobat...but I never really noticed that "booklet" option before, and right now the magazine isn't setup right, so I can't tell if it's working. will it know that page 1 and page 16 go on the same side of one 11x17 sheet, and pages 2 and 15 go on the other side of that same page when printing two-sided?

Print spread double-sided

Hello,
i have a nagging question that's been bugging me since i ever started using indesign CS4:
how do i print double-sided spreads in a single-side printer?
the print shops i work for(and myself of course) want me to print a makeshift of a book which i do using the print booklet option on 2-up spread, but they're consecutive and i haven't found any option to alternate spreads for single side printing. It'll all be ok if i had a double-sided printer so i'd use a driver setting and force doubleside on the printer itself, but without that option....
is this possible or wasn't even considered?, because the other solution is to print spread by spread and manually feeding each page back which is totally unproductive....

Like my answer of yesterday you can use the 2-up Consecutive feature of Print Booklet and enter you page numbers/order manually.

How do i print something double sided? the computer won't let me change the default settings or turn "two sided" on.

I need to print a paper double sided, but eveytime i go to the print options i can't change the setting to turn the "two sided" on. I don't think its a problem with the printer either.

Incorrect printing of double sided pages on Officejet Pro 8600

When I print a document (generally from MS Word 2010) and ask it to be printed on both sides, the HP8600 gets it wrong!
(I had the same problem with my previous Officejet 8500). It prints page 1 on the first page BUT it prints page 2 on the next piece of paper on the same facing side as for page 1. So the back of page 1 is blank!! This is quite frustrating as I often want to print a long document on both sides of the paper and get the pages correct! So all the ODD pages are on the facing side and all the EVEN pages on the rear. The 8600 doesn't do this, nor did the 8500. I think when I print it using the Adobe reader and PDF documents it gets it correct. So it may be an inter action between Word, and the HP 8600 driver etc... Any ideas to correct this. I have only had the printer just over 4 months.

I used a Word document that was 3 pages long and printed it from MS Word 2010 and it printed incorrectly (page 1 on sheet 1 side 1, page 2 on sheet 2 side 1, page 3 on sheet 2 side 2). Then I saved it in PDF and printed from Adobe Reader and it printed correctly. But I noticed that Word printed it in reverse order whereas Adobe printed in normal order starting from Page 1. So I looked in Options/Advanced/Printing in Word 2010 and there was a box for Print pages in reverse Order that was ticked. So I un-ticked this Print pages in reverse order and re-printed from Word and lo and behold it printed it correctly! It looks to me as if Word has a 'bug' (sorry MS undesired feature) that when printing in reverse order sometimes gets the pages incorrect. It is useful when printing long documents to print them in reverse order as they are in the correct order with page 1 on top. But eh oh I will leave this off and see whether the problem disappears. But many thanks for your interaction and getting me to investigate. 'Praise the Lord' for forums.

Can pages be rearranged/merged automatically to restore odd even sequence after one-sided scans of double sided documents

I would like to scan into pdf format some documents that are deteriorating badly. These documents are printed on both sides and there are lots of them. The stack of documents can be placed in a regular feeder scanner but only one side of the documents will get scanned at one time. I could then turn the stack upside down and scan the other side. But that would leave me with a grouping of the odd pages pages of the documents as pdf, and a grouping of the even pages. How could I then rearrange/merge the pages so they appear as a normal sequence of odd-even in the pdf? Thanks.

Hey all:
Thanks for the positive feedback. I found myself needing to do some collating and reversing again, and discovered that the script didn't show up in Acrobat 9. So I updated the script, and moved the menu item into the "Document" menu.
Unfortunately I can't figure out how to attach the updated script in the new form editor, so I'll inline it. Copy the following script into a file and install it into your Javascripts folder, as before.
// Complements: Planet PDF (http://www.planetpdf.com/)

app.addMenuItem({ cName: "Collate", cParent: "Document", cExec: "trustedCollatePages();", cEnable: "event.rc = (event.target != null);", nPos: 0 });
trustedReversePages = app.trustedFunction(function()
app.beginPriv(); // Explicitly raise privileges
var t = app.thermometer;
t.duration = this.numPages;
t.begin();
for (i = this.numPages - 1; i >= 0; i--)
    t.value = (i-this.numPages)*-1;
    this.movePage(i);

Adobe reader: printing booklet, double-sided alignment issue

I am printing a booklet (designed in indesign). I have tried printing from Indesign, but there isn't an option to print on both sides.
So I made it into a pdf and tried from Adobe Reader (using booklet printing). Now I have the option to print on both sides, but when they come out, the alignment is wrong (the pages don't line up to the one printed on the opposite side.
I would appreciate any ideas!

Photosmart 7520 faxing double-sided documents

My wife and I worked on trying to fax both sides of a piece of paper for entirely too long this morning. We used both the ADF and the glass flatbed, but were never prompted for another page for our fax. Surely there must be a way to fax both sides of a document without copying the other side and feeding 2 docs through the ADF (?)...
The closest thing I have found might be to force a "pause" while sending this (?) but I haven't tried this because I don't see how that would work for inserting another page of fax; and I need to get to other work.
I have read through the documentation and searched online for this answer without finding it. Please help me and all of us that may have this same trouble.
This question was solved.

Really...
Would it be that difficult for you to have added a prompt for another page during the faxing process?
Wow...
Maybe you, at HP, could consider this limitation and figure out a better solution.

Printing postcards double sided

I wish to print postcards on both sides, just like a regular postcard. Color and front and black & white on back.
I would prefer to print directly from iPhoto 6, but that is secondary as some photo printers come bundled with Mac software.
Does anyone know which printers are suitable for this task please? As I will be printing individual cards, I don't mind manually turning the paper. I've not had much luck in stores or with my online research and I have not found anybody who understands why I would want to do this. I'm sure I'm not alone am I?
Thanks in advance.

You can get 4" x 6" Kodak Picture Paper for ink jet printers. It has soft gloss on both sides. Should work on any ink jet printer. I've printed many pics on this paper using an i960 Canon color printer. For a bit higher quality prints, I use 4" x 6" Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy paper. It's slightly thicker than the Kodak paper, and has gloss on only one side (white on back). Most any brand of paper will work on any printer.
FYI Here's the Postcard Standards:
* Minimum Allowable Postcard Size: 3.5 x 5 Inches
If the width is less than 5 inches or the height is less than 3.5 inches the USPS will NOT mail your postcard.
* Maximum Allowable Postcard Size: 4.25 x 6 Inches
If the width is greater than 6 inches or the height is greater than 4.25 inches, the postcard must be mailed as a letter, higher rate and all.
* Minimum Thickness: .007 Inches
Any mail less than the minimum is considered Non-Mailable and the USPS will NOT deliver it.
* Maximum Thickness: .25 inches
Exceeding the maximum puts the mail piece into a different mail class, called a Parcel.
* Intermediate Sizes are Allowable
A 4 x 5.5 inch postcard is mailable at the postcard rate. As long as a mail piece meets the size, thickness, weight and aspect ratio requirements above, it can be mailed as a postcard.
* Minimum Thickness: .007 Inches
* Maximum Thickness: .25 inches
* Space reserved for USPS Barcode and Endorsements

Trouble printing double-sided in Acrobat X Pro for Mac

I just tried printing for the first time today, and my pages come out single-sided rather than double-sided, though I am using the same settings as before in v. 9. Nothing I do seems to matter. using a Xerox machine (office capacity; don't have the specs handy; a Work-Centre Pro something though). Is anyone experiencing this problem? If so, are there any solutions?
Many thanks,
Jim P

Dear Mamak,
Many thanks for the note.
I followed your advice and dowloaded new drivers for my Canon MF4880dw.
The filename was different than yours, because the model was different.
However, I noticed that this last version I downloaded is pretty new (released in April), so I was hoping it would fix the problem. Also, it was the same file for all versions of Mac OS X from 10.5 through 10.8.
Unfortunately, no luck: Acrobat still does not ask me to scan the reverse side. Maybe I should have uninstalled the printer before reinstalling it?
I more or less solved the problem by scanning double-sided documents on Acrobat 7 for Windows (which I also have installed on my Mac), which is not optimal, but at least works.
Any thoughts?
Thank you again,
Salvatore
