Duplex Printing Landscape
I want to print a landscape document on both sides, so flipping along the
long axis shows the second side the right way up. No matter what duplex print options I try, this always seems to come out so it's the right way when flipped on the short axis. I'm sure the content is irrelevant, but I'll describe it anyway: Each page comprises two tables, 3 columns by 3 rows, where the 2 cells on the bottom right are merged to form a High cell: XXX XXX XXH XXH XXH XXH XXX XXX XXH XXH XXH XXH -- Nigel M I'm discussing apples, so don't suggest bananas |

Answer: Duplex Printing Landscape
Hi Nigel,
To print a landscape document on both sides, so flipping along the long axis shows the second side the right way up, you can follow these steps:

Assuming the entire document is landscape but you intend to bind it on the
long edge (which is what it sounds like), then you need to set the duplexer to flip on the short side (tablet style). This will result in the top of the page being to the left on every page. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Nigel Molesworth" wrote in message ...

This is what you want, isn't it? To have the top of all pages on the left?

I can't tell whether you're describing what you want or what you get. You
also haven't described whether you're binding this on the short or long edge, which makes a difference. And in fact I told you wrong the first time: if you're binding on the short edge, then that's the one you want to flip on. You'll then have the tops of both sides back to back. The same type of flip is required for a single-page landscape document such as a brochure. If you're binding on the long edge (whether the document is to be looked at in portrait or landscape orientation), you want to flip on the long edge. The conventional arrangement of such documents is to have the top to the left (portrait) or (obviously) top in landscape view (like a calendar) so that readers need rotate the document only one direction to read broadside tables or other landscape pages. -- Suzanne S.

I'm a bit confused by talk of "binding", there is no binding. I guess you could think of it in those terms though... Imagine a landscape document, binding at the top. When I flip a page up, I want the reverse side to be the right way up. I can do it in Acrobat Reader, but for some reason Word always prints the second page for left edge binding. |

If your printer accepts 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. The value for Portrait setting: { PRINT 27&l0O" } The value for Landscape { PRINT 27"&l1O" } Put the relevant codes at the top of the pages. Whether this will work for you in conjunction with duplex mode I cannot say. Incidentally you can use ALT+PrtScreen to copy the active Window to the clipboard (or better still use SnagIt - there is a trial). -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Nigel Molesworth wrote: On Thu, 27 Nov 2008 11:42:02 -0000, "PeterMcC" wrote: Flip the stack I've got a duplexer, I don't want to have to flip the stack every time. |

Okay, so what you have is like a calendar. And this means that you are
flipping on the long edge, just the same as if you had a landscape section in a portrait document and wanted the top to the left on each page. This is what you would ordinarily get by default if you choose to flip on the long edge, BUT there are some printers that perversely flip in the opposite direction, and AFAIK there is no way around this except perhaps to get a different driver for the printer. IIRC, the first inkjet I had output landscape pages rotated one way relative to the portrait pages, and when I updated the driver, it rotated them the other way; this was an issue with single-sided printing, but it does illustrate that a different driver might give different results. FWIW, I don't know what you mean by "left-edge binding." I assume you mean "short-edge binding," which will alternate left and right on the "inside" (gutter). From your illustrations, however, it certainly appears that you have all the printer settings correct. You might experiment with the "Options for duplex printing" on the Print tab of Tools | Options, though I believe they have more to do with which side is printed first. From your later posts, however, it seems you've achieved what you were trying for. -- Suzanne S.

For our Xerox printers, with a Landscape oriented Word document, selecting
Properties in the File Print dialog and then on the Paper Output tab, select Flip on long edge in the 2 Sided Print drop down and setting the Image Orientation to Landscape, the output is as you require. Almost certainly, YMMV with HP and their crappy drivers. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
