Unexpected print copies

I want to print out a pdf-file being only one page and I order 1 exemplar only. But I get 3 more copies of that page of different quality. I am using adobe reader XI 11.0.06. Which way I do initiate this behavior or better how can I get one print only? This is happens occasionally and only few files are affected.

Many thanks Gilad,
my printer is magicolor 4650
I found that feature :color separation was activated
after deactivation all prints come as expected

MN05: setting the number of printer copies for the whole range of vendors

Hi all,
by t.code MN05 I can set the number of copies of the MM documents printed the FIRST TIME. I can do it for doc.type or vendor.
I can't set the number of printer copies for the whole range of vendors. Should I do it for each one of them?
Thanks
Gandalf

Unfortunately,
setting for document type, it doesn't work for all range of vendors.
Setting for document type, in the field "PartF" I've put in "OA". Could it depend on it?
you do for document type and then it will cover all range of vendors.
If you want prints for a specific vendor then set condition recrod for that vendor only.

Slow printing copies to HP Color Laserjet 400 series

This issue first appeared on 10.8, and still there... Not sure if it is a feature or bug
HP Color Laserjet M451 with ethernet connect and 386 MB ram. Mac 10.9.3 with latest print driver from HP.
Let's say my document has 5 pages, text and graphics, it will print fine speed wise. Say it takes about 30 sec to spool, process and print the one page. THe rest of the document print at good speed.
If I decided to print 8 copies of this document, and select 8 copies in the print setting, it will essentially submit the print job 8 times so after the first job is done, i will have to wiat for it to process the file and spool it to the printer, etc. it will take a long time. It does not matter it is Word, PDF (using Acrobat reader or Preview), or PowerPoint, same time of respond.
Same printer, network and file print from Windows 7 will spool, process once, and then the printer will just fly thought the copies as if it is all one document, so i can get this done in say 1 min. The printer print fast after 1 page.
So. Let's say I want to print 1 page of a document (it can be just text), and say i want 50 copies. then forget it. It will sit there and spool, process and etc each page for 30 sec. And windows 7 (even xp) will treat it like it is printing one document of 50 pages.
Any idea if this is a feature of Mac or HP? couldn't be HP if windows 7 print ok.

This works for me, because I'm tired of waiting for Adobe to find solutions: open your pdf document with Preview and print from there. It will print cleaner and faster than any Adobe application.

C309a print copies of 1 page documents

I've been using Photosmart printers with duplexing for years. In the past, I've always left two-sided printing on "Automatically" as the default for general printing. If I had a one page document, and asked it to print, say, 3 copies of the document, I would get 3 pages with one side each.
I just intalled a C309a on the same Vista system I've been using in the past. I've set my printer default to "automatically" for two-sided printing. Now if I want to print several copies of a one-page document, it prints both sides of the page. So a request for 3 copies of a one-page document results in two printed pages - one page has the document printed on each side, plus one page has it on only one side.
The only way around this seems to be to alternate between printing shortcuts. If I have a one-page document, and I want several copies, I have to switch to the General setting with two-sided printing set to "off". If I want a multi-page document duplexed, I have to switch over to the Two-Sided printing setting. I'm disappointed because I didn't have to switch back and forth with any of my former Photosmart duplex printers.
Is my new C309a really supposed to work this way? Or should I be able to get 3 single-sheet copies of a one page document, even with two-sided printing set to "Automatically", like all my previous printers allowed?
Thank you!

audpilot,
same boat, same printer...
this is not how the other printers worked.
is there any workaround?

Print copies with different languages

Hello Experts,
I would like to know if it's possible to print 2 copies of a Smartform with the first exemplar print in English and the second one in Spanish?
Thanks for your advices,
Tipiah

Thank you Tamas for your reply,
In your solution, we need to call twice the FM from the program.
This involves to have 2 spools... do you know if there is a way to use the number of copies when we're calling the smartforms, yo avoid to call twice the FM?
Thanks

Acrobat 8 - "Print/Copies" Reset to "1" after print job

I am a Windows Acrobat 8 Pro user.
When I print more than one copy of a PDF document, I select "Print" and change the number of "Copies" to the number I need.
The feature I request is that the number of "Copies" gets automatically reset to "1" after a print job.
I find that when I need a quick copy a another PDF document, I often just select the print option button. When I do this I get the same number of copies that I requested for my previous job because the number of copies is sticky and does not reset itself.
Microsoft Word has a number of copies feature but this number resets to "1" copy after a print job.
This would be a very helpful feature for Acrobat.
Douglas Meredith

As a counter, I find the reset to 1 that WORD does very annoying. I weekly print out 9 copies of a page, front and back. When I turn it over, I always have to reset to 9 again. I think the reset is a good idea on closing. However, during active use, I would rather see it left as is or give the user an option.

Smartform printing copies automatically

Hi everybody,
I need to print 5 copies of a smartform, I'm doing it with a cycle in the Smartform function call and changing a text in the footer, but when the printing is sent the printer tries to take paper from the feeding tray and stops, when I print a sapscript or other documente in SAP it takes paper from Tray 1 nad continues with the printing, does anybody know the parameter to control this in the smartform call????
Regards
Julio Cesar

Same content gets printed while printing copies in SRM

Hi ,
I am trying to print one original and 2 copies for a PO form. There are few texts specific to the copies. I am using copies window to achieve this. All these are getting displayed correclty in the spool request. When I take the hardcopy/print the original PO is getting printed thrice.
What could be the reason for this?

Copies are not supported in adobe form. There are certain things which are different between the forms. SAP note 1009567 explains it clearly. Alternative solution to get multiple copies has been explained in the thread Multiple copies in Adobe form with different header text.
So,i'm closing this thread.

HP F4180 Printer- Copies in color but will not print in color

My F4180 just stopped printing in color. However, it still copies in color. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
(Yes, the printer settings are set to print in color.) THank you. Kate

Hey @Kate22 ,
Thank you for joining us on the HP Forums today, hope you enjoy your time with us!
I understand you are not longer able to print in color even though you can copy in color. This is clearly a software issue because you are able to copy in color so it isn't a printhead issue.
Please download the HP Print and Scan Doctor and run the fix printing tool.
Click here to download and run the Print and Scan Doctor >>> www.hp.com/go/tools
Let me know if this resolves the issue. If not let me know where you got to and we can go from there.

Margins on print copies from HP Officejet Pro 8600 Printer are not aligned with original document

My HP Office ject Pro 8600 Printer is not printing the same margins as my original document. The left margin on the print copy is 3/4" too far to the right. The margin on the right is too far right and the text is being printed off the page! The problem seemed to start when I loaded Avery Labels to print. I run a non-profit and need to make copies asap for a sponsorship letter for a fundraising event.
