Printing Docs in Different Trays after Merge
We have 200 docs to print after a mail merge. End result, two pages per
handout. For example, we want to print page 1 on tray one and print page 2 on tray two. Is there a way to collate the mail merged pages this way? |

Printing Docs in Different Trays after Merge
Hi ?B?YTE0NG1i?=,
We have 200 docs to print after a mail merge. End result, two pages per handout. For example, we want to print page 1 on tray one and print page 2 on tray two. Is there a way to collate the mail merged pages this way? Which version of Word is this? Have you tried setting the "First page" and "Other pages" in File/Page Setup/Paper? Since mail merge generates a new section for each record for letters, that should do what you need.

Printing Docs in Different Trays after Merge
If you are open to sending a rtf file to a print queue. The I have a
solution for you using our software, which offers much more than your entry. OctoTools is a multi-functional report processor that can transform ordinary legacy output into modern looking output using its electronic forms capabilities. Users have a choice of many output options including Print (PCL, PostScript, Digital copiers, even inkjet and label printers), PDF, email, fax and document archiving. We should not have a problem supporting most if not all printers supported by Windows. If you continue reading this email I am certain that you will find many interesting an exciting features and capabilities in both our current OctoTools V5 package and our forthcoming OctoTools Enterprise Edition. Most of the resellers and end users that I have demonstrated to are totally "Blown Away" by the capability, ease of use and pricing. OctoTools is particularly well suited to "transactional printing" but can do almost anything. I believe a key selling point is the ability to offer the customer his choice of sending print, email or fax to end recipient based on account number. Documents may be archived and web hosted as well. A printer can be unique and offer a "Have it Your Way" approach. Large volume processing and speed are always a concern in mainframe shops. Depending on the speed of the Windows pc and the complexity of a form, OctoTools can provide 1000-3000+pages per minute of output processing. There are few printers on the planet that can run that fast. Our PowerPoint presentation provide a great overview of the systems capabilities. Slides 12 and 13 http://jbmsystems.com/octotools-document-management.pps , show the data flow for OctoTools. A one time form template design is performed using OctoTools on a Windows workstation and merged with variable input. Output from any system may be sent to OctoTools using LPR, FTP or other protocol. Many of your products can deliver a file to our Windows centric system and we will act on the file without RPM or other vendor's package. We have improved our ease of use by a new watched directory interface. OctoTools will spool the sysout data and process it by merging the data fields and the form template. In the template the data columns may be moved around, fonts changed for sizes, styles, and color. As you will see in all the samples OctoTools can add lines, boxes, logos, signatures and even stripe the data to make it more readable. OctoTools can create output to go to any printer that supports Windows, PDF, email, archive or fax (via fax service or server). Options can be set up in a profile on a per group or user basis. All options use the same one time template design. The fax output and the individually encrypted PDF output are extremely useful in security conscious environments. Please examine our web site (www.octotools.com http://www.octotools.com/) and the entire OctoTools PowerPoint http://jbmsystems.com/octotools-document-management.pps as we have many more samples showing these new capabilities. In our most recent release, we are able to secure fonts, signatures and logos to prevent check fraud. These resources may be kept externally to OctoTools on a USB flash memory stick. If checks are printed and the stick is not inserted, invalided voided checks will be produced. If the flash memory is present, it will provide valid MICR fonts, signatures and alike. RTF Rich Text Format copy allows many complex preformatted forms or paragraphs to be copied and used directly from MS Word and other Windows applications. Dynamically loaded and sized images are based on user defined page input specifications Mail merge capabilities allows variable input to be merged with RTF layouts from MS Word. Mail merge output will be "reflowed" eliminating excess white space. I particularly like the capably or being able to alter forms appearance based on input values. There are just a multitude of uses. The multi-flag.PDF file demonstrates how we can test for exception conditions and make them stand out. We can change invoices to credit memos when an invoice total is negative. http://www.jbmsystems.com/webdata/SamsungRacingTeam/SAM226/I7712346.06_09_03.pdf http://www.jbmsystems.com/webdata/SamsungRacingTeam/TVS037/I7712347.06_09_03.pdf credit memo The attached file 00232323 05-08-03 17_43.3.PDF shows another instance of conditional processing where all stock locations (-nn) 30 or over will be grayed out and picked at another location. A basic level of direct input from ODBC databases, currently Access, SQL, MY/SQL and Oracle. We have also added multiple watched directory support that runs as an NT service. Each watched directory can have its own series of jobs to process the data that is delivered to it. The number of simultaneous copies of OctoTools may be specified to control interference and a priority may be associated to limit CPU intensive OctoTools' on online users. Of course input may come from any computer system ranging from I/Series, Unix/Linux/Aix, Windows, Z/OS and many more. At one major customer we have the watcher component, OctoWatch, examining the first several pages of a job from the remote system, then invoking the correct "job control" and form from a single input queue. This technology will be integrated into a general release for everyone. The OctoWatch capability allow a file to be reprocessed in several ways in its entirety such as print to a PCL printer and store as PDF. Different templates (forms) can be used for additional passes. Report to Excel has been shipped to some users. This eliminates the time consuming process of repetitive cutting and pasting. Using this facility, a single copy of OctoTools can "parse a report" by distribution group, convert to Excel and automatically email the Excel input to the recipients without any user intervention. PDF "overlay" capability. Mapping data on top of an existing form Conditional based printer support such as feed from tray n or select duplex CSV input Chinese/Japanese/Korean output as well as right to left languages like Arabic and Hebrew. We have partnered with Biscom, a leader in fax servers in the midmarket through Fortune 500 to provide outbound faxing via their FaxcomAnywhere(tm) product. OctoTools V5 pricing is quoted in the attached spreadsheet. Coming attractions These are some forthcoming goodies: Our intent is to continue to provide lots of function for a modest price when compared to other packages having a fractions of these features. This end user list price of OctoTools Enterprise will be $20,000 including base OctoTools, the online content manager and barcode recognition. It is currently licensed on a server basis and will include and interface to My/Sql, MS/SQL Server or Oracle. Extended maintenance and consulting are extra. OctoTools Enterprise Edition codename Turbo. Turbo should have much of the function of a Redwood Software(r) or ViewDirect for Networks(r), some general document repository capabilities plus OctoTools normal reformatting and distribution function. Document identification may be part of the suite as well. Planned usage and features a A back end application running under IIS now (later other ASP systems) which will provide access control and security. You will be able to specify whether a hierarchical environment where a manager can look at subordinate records but peers cannot examine each other. You can restrict managers from looking at subordinate folders. A group can be defined to share a folder in read only or read/write mode. Hardcopy documents may be scanned to Tiff, by your scanner and OctoTools will recognize barcoding for filing of the under Turbo. Medical or personnel records could be restricted to members of certain departments, such as the HR department or a doctor, his staff, radiology, nurses, surgery etc. Access logging will be available for use with HIPAA type documents. There will be several ODBC database vendors supported. The use of databases will allow OctoTools to burst up to 10 times faster while providing the option of storing PDFs in the database or externally to allow access by other subsystems if necessary. We will accept almost any type of document for storage (as binary) and will pass it back to a browser. We can store Word, Tiff, JPG, audio, even proprietary X-ray files should be able to be stored. You provide the file as binary and a retrieval header type and you will be all set. We should also be able to have any user print to OctoTools and turn its Windows (Word, Excel, user applications) into PDF which may be stored in the users directory or in the Turbo repository We have also demonstrated to clients the ability to interface with Tiff scanners and utilize bar codes to enable content storage and distribution. Ability to add notes/annotations to documents without changing the base document. A document that was created by the OctoTools PDF generator or any other document is NOT modified. We add the comments to the base document pointer. Comments may be emailed or queued in a personnel mailbox for another recipient. The document itself does not have to be shipped. For PDF's standard Adobe security rights (print, change, copy, note), will also be in place when a download takes place.
