duplex printing problem
I have been through the KB and cannot find an answer to my problem.
I am trying to print a 10 (even # of pages) saddle staple booklet compiled in MS Word 2003. I am trying to print landscape, portrait orientation of page, 2 pages/sheet. Manual duplex selected. HP 1000 LJ printer. Everything is correct in PRINT VIEW. First, page 1 (the cover) is on the wrong side of the page for saddle staping. The print sequence is 1 & 3, 2 &4, 5 & 7, 6 & 8 then page 9 on one sheet and page 10 on the backside of the same sheet incorrectly leaving two blank panels, one beside 9 and one beside 10. I tried also my HP 7530 printer and also took the file to Kinko's and they tried it on 2 full duplex copiers and coverted it to Acrobat to try it on another copier. Any ideas? -- JBliehall MedTek,Inc |

duplex printing problem
There is no such thing as a 10-page booklet. Booklets must have pages in
multiples of four. Are you using Word's "book fold" feature? This would set up your booklet for you automatically. If not, you can do this the way you're attempting, but the print sequence must be different. What you're really creating is a 12-page booklet, regardless of how your pages are numbered, so you must create 12 pages and leave them blank as needed. Each pair of pages must add up to 13. So, for example, you would print: 12 and 1 2 and 11 10 and 3 4 and 9 8 and 5 6 and 7 To manual duplex, you'll have to print 12 and 1, 10 and 3, and 8 and 5, then turn over and print 6 and 7, 4 and 9, and 2 and 11. -- Suzanne S.

duplex printing problem
Clarification:
When I attempt to print I open the (now) 12 page file, select "Manual Duplex" and let the printer print the 1st side. I stick the sheets back in and let it print the other side. Per Suzanne, do I have to "reassign" my pages so it prints 1 then 12 , etc etc. ? I was under the impression that when you selected "Manual duplex" it automatically assigned the pages correctly (i.e so the Cover came out on the front with the binding on the left) from my 1-12 file I never professed to be the brightest bulb on the Christamas tree.

duplex printing problem
Are you printing single pages or two pages per sheet? If you're printing
single pages, then you can just print the odd pages, then flip over and print the even pages in reverse order. I thought you were printing two pages on each side of a single sheet, since you mentioned saddle stapling. If you're setting up the imposition yourself, then you have to tell Word to print 12,1,10,3,8,5, then flip over and print 6,7,4,9,2,11; you type these numbers into the "Pages" box. But it would be much easier to use the "Book fold" feature. -- Suzanne S.

duplex printing problem
I am also having problems printing a 36page, 2 pages per side booklet. I can
print OK on an HP 2200 after selecting duplex printing in properties, but my final copy will be in colour on a non-duplex printer, so I have to refeed the paper manually. I have tried selecting Manual duplex, or print on front and back sides options, but pages are out of sequence AND not printed. I find it difficult to believe that you have to work out the page sequence than enter all pages separately every time you want to print. What is the point of having a "manual duplex" check box? Perhaps this is a bug that has not been addressed? It is supposed to be an Office package after all! Any suggestions that enable automatic formating for manual duplexing would be greatly appreciated. |
