Force Entire Document Printing
Hello everyone,
The company I work for is trying to convert some of their older paper forms into electronic ones. One such document is a retail order form that contains contractual/legal verbiage on the back of the form. I have duplicated the paper form as a Word document. The form is page 1 of the Word document and the contractual/legal verbiage is page 2. The intention is to duplex print this document so that the contractual/legal verbiage is always printed on the back of the form. I know that corporate management will not be inclined to implement the use of the electronic retail order form unless there is a way I can insure that the entire document is always printed in duplex. So that's my question. Are there any methods that force the user to print the entire document only? Likewise, is it possible for force a document to always duplex print? Thank you for your help! |

Force Entire Document Printing
If your printer(s) accept PCL commands, you may be able to use a PRINT
field. A PRINT field is simply a type of field that allows you to send instructions directly to the printer. There are 3 possible data values for duplex setting: PRINT 27"&l0S" simplex PRINT 27"&l1S" vertical duplex . PRINT 27"&l2S" horizontal duplex (bookformat) The codes after PRINT are 27 (escape), double quote, ampersand, lowercase L, 0, 1 or 2, uppercase S and finally terminated with a double quote. Thus for horizontal duplex you would insert the following field : { PRINT 27"&l2S" } -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "IconZ1" wrote in message ...

Force Entire Document Printing
The alternative (if you have any control over users) is to setup a copy of
the printer driver with its options set to always print duplex and print to that printer. This will require a macro to perform the switching. You could use the technique to print to a colour printer shown at http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm albeit with the new copy of the driver named to include DUPLEX rather than COLOR and the code modified accordingly. The snag with this is that you cannot force users to run macros, unless you have control over their workspace. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "IconZ1" wrote in message ...

Forcing Duplex Printing
If you are sending the document to another party, you would have to know whether their printer supported duplex printing. Unless you can be sure of this, you can not go further with your project. You also might want to look at StampIt for Word. It might assist you in your document security. Its at http://www.stampit4word.com Good luck.
