Single sided copying help

Just got a new printer/copier/scanner, etc.... All my printing from my desktop files or the internet come out correctly one sided pages. As soon as I go into my service that uses Adobe Acrobat the pages come out two sided, in other words if i try to print to pages they come out printing on the front and the back instead of individual pages. I change the property window to say no duplex and print again and then they print one sided. go back later to print from same service and the duplex page problem is back into place. Help

Moving this discussion to the Printing & Prepress forum.

Getting "layer break" error message when trying to Preview a single sided DVD, or build an ISO image or disk folder

Hi! Hoping someone might be able to help with an odd problem. I haven't found anything in the forums or the web that match my symptoms.
I've been using Encore CS6 (v6.0.1.013) on a MacBook retina over the past year to successfully create a number of single sided DVDs with menus, chapters, and all that. I usually make a copy of a previous DVD project, and then replace video assets with the new files and transcodes, move and rename chapter markers, and rework the menus in Photoshop. I then will build ISO images for both DVD and Blu-Ray (both single-sided), and use those to burn many copies of each DVD for clients.
This week, while developing one of these projects, when trying to build a DVD ISO image that looked like it would fit on a 4.7 GB DVD, I received the "layer break" message ("The chosen layer break does not satisfy dual layer requirements. To fix this, either set a new layer break manually, or choose to set layer break automatically.") because (I'm guessing) the material was too long for the 4.7 GB DVD (the Build screen now shows about 5GB of material are in the project). This is the first time I've seen that message - usually Encore just tells me the material is too big for the DVD.
I re-transcoded the material down to well under 4.7 GB (about 3.9 GB), reverted and replaced the transcoded files, and now the DVD build screen shows that there are about 700MB free on a 4.7 GB DVD. But I still have not been able to build any version of the DVD (image, folder, disc), without getting the "layer break" message. I also now get this same layer break message when trying to "Preview from Here" any menu, killing my ability to preview the DVD menus in Encore.
Just to see what would happen, I chose an 8.4GB Dual Layer DVD, and chose "manual" instead of "automatic" for the layer break selection, but never got the layer break selection dialog box, just the "layer break" error message.
I typically build both DVD and Blu-Ray images from the same material in the same project. I use different transcoding settings for each, and I have been able to build a Blu-Ray ISO without this "layer break" error on the Blu-Ray build (which is about 24.5GB when built). And as I mentioned before, this is the first project on which I've even seen this layer break message.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I'd rather not recreate the project from scratch, but I'm worried that I may have to.
Thanks
Jon

The total project being small enough may mean you have one layer that is too big. Both layers have to be smaller than half the disk, right?
Be sure you "run as administrator" for dual layer projects.
Encore may set the layer break correctly if it finds a good place, but there are numerous complaints about it being unreliable.
Build to a folder (no layer break is set), then use ImgBurn to build and ask to be prompted for layer break. ImgBurn is also unreliable under some circumstances.
The most frequent problems appear to be when there is no good location for a break. Do a search for "layer break imgburn" and you will see a variety of strategies.

MG6220 now defaults to 2-sided copy setting

My PIXMA MG6220 has suddenly decided to always default to a copy setting of 2-sided after working normally for years. This only affects manual copying. Printing from the computer works OK and correctly uses the computer-set defaults. Before doing a manual copy, I can manually set the settings on the printer to 1-sided and it works correctly, but as with other print settings (like paper size, etc.), it reverts back when the stop or home button is pressed. I have tried unplugging and plugging the printer back in, no luck. The default copy print setting of 2-sided is still present. Is there a way to force the default copy settings in the printer? Thanks for any help.
Jim
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Jwpottberg,
We can reset the printer back to its default settings to try and get the copy settings to revert to single-sided printing as a default. To do this, please follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the machine is turned on.
2. Select Setup on the HOME screen.
3. Select Device settings, then touch the OK button. The Device settings screen is displayed.
4. Use the button to select the Reset setting, then touch the OK button.
5. Use the button to select the Settings Only setting, then touch the OK button.
Hope this helps!

Acrobat 8.1.5 crashes when scanning two-sided documents-help!

Hi,
I've been searching for some answer to this, but I'm not finding any yet...
My problem is that I am trying to use Acrobat 8.1.5 to scan in a double-sided multi-page document using a Brother MFC-7420 with a document feeder. I'm on OS 10.5.8. Scanning in single sided works fine, but when I ask for two-sided scanning it scans the first side, prompts me for the second side, scans it, then waits a few seconds and crashes. I get the "application Acrobat quit unexpectedly" message.
No I uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat, updated my scanner drivers, fixed my permissions, shut down and restarted the computer several times and nothing seems to work. Tonight, however, I got an added conundrum when it allowed me to scan a single sheet front and back with now problem. When I loaded in another three sheets and tried to do the same thing, it died.
Anyone have any ideas?
I don't scan multiple pages double sided very often, but I'm pretty sure I've done it in the past with no problem so this has got me stumped.
Thanks!
Tim

Thanks for all the suggestions.
I have tried all these things (I've completely un-installed everything Adobe on my system, going through the App Support and Preferences, and anywhere else I could find at least three times; thanks to problems with the Auto Updater (now fixed apparently) I've had to manually install all the updates; I've also installed them automatically and am currently at version 8.2.1. I've fixed permission, I've repaired directory structure, I've started in a new user account. The problem still persists. The most remarkable thing is that if I stay at version 8.0 it works properly—flawlessly even.
Do I sound just a little frustrated and piqued?
Here is part of the error report when it crashes—it means nothing to me, but maybe this will help?

Printing Single Sided/Double Sided Forms in LiveCycle Desginer

Good day,
I have a 6 page form in LiveCyle Designer where I would like the following:
Page 1 - Print Single Sided
Page 2 - Print Single Sided
Page 3 - Print Double Sided
Page 4 - 2nd page of page3
Page 5 - Print Double Sided
Page 6 - 2nd page of page5
We have a copy machine in our office that's cable of printing duplex.
I know in the form properties you can check off to do duplex printing of your form but when I do that the first page of (Page 2) appears on the back of (Page 1) and I can't have that happened.
If anyone can assist me with this I'd truly appreciate it.
PS - I also tried the "Presence" section where you can choose one side printing only or two sided printing and that didn't work for me as well.
I'm using LiveCycle Designer ES2 9.0
* I tried creating master pages with the pages I wanted to do double sided printing and that didn't work as well.

I've searched the web about this whole master page stuff but I'm so confused.
What I've done is attached the document so if anyone could look at it and tell me what I need to do, I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

5520e single sided printing

This should not be this difficult, but I somehow can't figure out how to print single-sided on my new 5520e. The default is double sided printing. Anyone know how to change this?

Hi there, usually from within the application you are printing from you would select Print and then set the properties in the dialog box that opens. Are you printing from a desktop or mobile environment? What OS or device are you trying to print from?

Picking up the printer settings for Double or single sided?

Hi All,
Do anyone have a solution for picking up the printer settings for the PO SAPscript so that if the printer can do double sided it should print double sided but if it can only do single sided, it should print single sided?
Thanks & Regards,
Sudheer.

Hi Frank
1. To change it manually you have to deselect the following option:
Edit>Preferences>Type> Use Typographer's Quotes.
2. To access the option through vb script use the following syntax:
Document.TextPreference.TypographersQuotes
May be this will help you.

Please explain how to make a two-sided copy

Hello: I would like to make a 2 sided copy, not a print from a program, but a copy. I put a one-sided page in the tray, hit the 1:2 option and only one side prints out.

Hi @caajpa10 ,
I see that you are experiencing issues copying two-sided. I would like to help you out today.
With the Officejet 8610 model, you have to load 2 papers on the ADF that you want to copy to two-sided.
It won't flip a two-sided document and print two-sided.
I have provided the manual, on page 48 it provides the instructions for duplexing. Officejet Pro 8610/8620/8630.
Have a nice day!

(HP Officejet pro8620) on a mac book pro, set default to single sided printing

Can anyone assist. I have found out how to switch off the 2 sided printing on a job by job basis, but I want single sided as a default.

Hi DF99,
I am not sure why yours is defaulting to two-sided printing.
Open Text Edit from Applications.
Go to File, Print, click on the drop down and select Layout.
Uncheck the two-sided feature.
Then click on Presets near the top.
Select save as and provide a new name.
Type something in Text Edit and try printing it.
Then close and reopen Text Edit again, it should default to last preset that we made and printed to.
Try printing again to see if that worked.
If the doesn't work, select Standard from the Preset and check under Layout to see if the two-sided is checked or not.
Try printing again, if it is showing the one sided.
Let me know.
If the issue persists, delete and add the printer driver back in again from Printers and Scanners.
Thank You.

Cannot get MF4890w to stop printing double sided. HELP!

I print from various applications and from MS Word there is no 2-sided option to uncheck...even in every dialoguw box and window I try and find one. It printes double sided EVERYTIME and it is starting to actually waste paper as I am having to reprint several times to no avail.
How can I completely disable two-sided printing on this machine?
Thanks

Hello BigBevo,
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulty with enabling 1-sided printing and am glad to help. A common cause of the issue can be due either to the Print Side setting requiring adjusting or confirming that single-sided printing is enabled in the printer driver for your operating system. Depending on your OS and version, the setting may be found on the Finishing tab of the driver in Windows, or, as a radio button under Print Style in the Basic drop-down menu of the Print dialog box on a Mac.
To review how to check the Print Side setting and if Print Side Priority is set, click here.
Once reaching the FAQ area you can access the Article, "Selecting the Print Side (MF4890dw/MF4880dw Only)" by typing in the article name.
However, if further assistance is needed, please Contact Us.

Stereo Earbud for SSD (Single Sided Deafness)

If any of you have hearing loss in one ear (partial or total) and want to enjoy both sides of a stereo recording in one ear, I found this one company that makes an earbud that claims to deliver it.
http://www.scansound.com/1-Bud.htm#1BUDPRO
I have recently ordered several different models of them... the Classic, Pro and the Left Bud. It took only a few days for them to arrive...and I am happy to say...they work great! I had the chance to talk with Barry, the inventor of these devices. He said that he was urged by a friend to come up with a headphone/earbud with both left and right channels so that his son (deaf in one ear) could hear them while listening to his iPod.
I hope this is helpful!

Hey there,
Thank you for posting this. I lost the hearing in my left ear due to a cholesteatoma and this single sided deafness has meant that I have found it difficult listening to music through headphones for a long time!
I have been searching for a single headphone for a long time but I could not find one. If I use a standard set of headphones, then I find that I only get half of the song (because it is in stereo). I had settled on using an adaptor that plugged into the jack on the ipod and then the headphones plugged into the adaptor but this was far from perfect. I contacted Apple a couple of years ago before I purchased my ipod, explained the situation and in reference to the left ear bud, I was asked "Can't you just cut the other one off?"
A couple of questions:
Do you know whether the company that you provided the link to ship to the UK?
Do you get all of the song through the single ear bud?
Do you find that the ear bud stays in or falls out a lot?
My 30GB ipod has recently died on me and I have started using my mobile phone as a music player and had the problem of not getting all of the sounds from the music because I was just using the right earphone. I started messing around with the settings and happily, under the player settings, I can adjust it so that the balance is 100% to the right. This means that all of the music and sound comes out of the right earphone.
I am thinking of purchasing a Nano. Do the latest generation of ipods have this feature? If not, can it be added?
I am sure that there is a way of saving the music onto your computer a certain way so that the playback is not in stereo, but I like listening to the music in stereo whilst in the car or through external speakers etc. so I am reticent to change this.

Why do double-sided copies run off the edge when single-sided do not?

Hi...
I just made a document in Pages that is essentially one big table (or in other words, a spreadsheet without having to purchase Numbers). When I print it as single-sided, it fits perfectly on the page. But if I click double-sided, without changing anything else, the left margin runs off the page. The nature of this is such that I don't really want to significantly reduce the size. Is there some trick to this, or do I just have to remember to print it one-sided?
Thanks!

There should be an arrow, to get more choices to show. Also the checkbox is just showing you the current selected, you change the setting by touch the big icon, not the checkbox. The touch panel is not a high resolution one, so try to touch the checkbox, result in the icon being selected, that's why the setting didn't change. Try find the 1:1 icon and touch that.

Problem with automatic 2 sided copying

I'm not able to copy documents 2 sided automatically. All settings are true but it copies just one side. In order to copy 2 sided, I have to do it manually.

Hi,
Do you try copying a two sided original?
The printer only support two sided printing, it does not support 2 sided copying of an original (aka. ADF Duplexing)
Please clarify what happens of I may misunderstood your intention.
